I've been at Cedarwood for about a week now. It's been really great so far. I've met some amazing people and learned soooo much about being a camp counselor and about God! I do admit that this week has been incredibly overwhelming... and next week is just going to be more overwhelming!
I'm teaching rock climbing as a skill at camp and I think this actually scares me the most! I'm so incredibly scared of heights or climbing, I'm not actually quite sure what it is. I have to actually be able to do the skill to teach it and I can't do it at all! I learned how to belay people yesterday, but so far I've dropped quite a few people (don't worry, they were okay... they only dropped about 10 feet). I'd have to say that this is probably the biggest challenge I've ever faced in my life. It scares me so much, you actually have no idea.
I've been going to summer camp ever since I could. I've never ever known exactly how much work gets put into it. It's amazing. I have a whole new appreciation for the camp ministry... now that I'm in it, I see all the hard work people put into it! I have a whole new appreciation for the camp counselors I had over the years.
Please, please, please, please pray for me, my belaying, my rock climbing, my fears, and the people that I'll be belaying. I'm gonna need it!
