Morgan, Brianna, Naomi, and I paused and mentally prepared ourselves, we had just been assigned 10 younger girls to watch after.
After the younger campers arrived, we gathered them up and let them unpack. Not realizing until then that our a-frame was way too small for 14 people, but Morgan, who refused to be dismayed, began stuffing sleeping bags and camp gear in anyway.
We were given the chance to take our girls to Ropes Course on the first day, this is where they learn to work as a team. They first played a team game out in the grassy field, then were brought into the shade where a diversity of courses made from ropes and tires were set up.
The Log, a daunting team work game, where a log has been secure 6 feet up and is used to climb up and over. The rules are, you have to get your whole team over the log, you may sit on the log and pull girls up, but you may not climb up the tree to get on top of the log. Oh, and only one person can speak. This person was Audrey, 12 years old and 4 ft tall. She successfully got all 9 other girls over the log, but when it came down to her, no one was there to help push her up and she fell many times. the other 9 stood silently cheering her on, but after a few times, she begun to get dismayed and started crying, still she didn't stop. She successfully got here self over the log. When her feet hit the ground after she came over, she was enveloped in the other campers arms, I watched with tears in my eyes that even though we have the hardest group, I wouldn't trade, because the love that these girls have is undying.
