It's Over

I cannot believe it.  Camp Hanna is no more.  Everything I have worked toward in my internship is now over.  The month long camp out is done.  Finished.  I feel as if a giant weight has been taken from my shoulders.  Although my neck muscles are all slightly injured...funny how that happened.  i chose to play stretchy pants with a grown man and two teenage boys...i went flying after the 3rd or 4th fling and hit my head on the ground super hard.  i thought i had a concussion.  but i was fine, my neck is just soar now.

Other than that, i did a LOT of rappelling off the red rock (like 5 or 6 times), played in the pond, took care of teenage boys and their parents (the last day), set up and ran the Hanna Challenge, had a water carnival (we have a GIANT inflatable slide and i hooked the hose to it...it was fun.  Although i never went down it on an inner tube), got made fun of for being a hippie-vegetarian-mormon.  It was fun.  Sometimes stressful.  But fun.

Derek came up for the last two days.  It was fun to have him there.  He helped out a lot.  And held his own really well, because I was running around like a crazy chicken with my head cut off doing stuff.  Another fun guest was Sean Bradly.  Have you heard of him?  I never had.  All I thought was wow, that's the tallest man I've ever seen in my life.  7'6".  Retired Professional Bball player.  Really cool guy.

All in all, Camp Hanna was a success.  I now have girls camp and youth conference planned for the rest of my life.  If you ask me if I'd do it again, I'd say no.  2 weeks is too long for the kids to be in such close proximity with each other.  1 week would be perfect.  But it was fun.

Ps: this is the red rock we rappelled off of.
