We have been fortunate that the weather has been in the 80s, much cooler than last year. The Camp Format was the much the same as last year so the fact that our work group consisted of mostly camp 'veterans' made the transition very easy. We each went with a team leader or class leader and could help out right away. During meal times we helped out passing out food and cleaning up after meals. We would break down the tables and clean up the dining room after each meal freeing the leaders and teachers from those tasks.Our work details were even more varied than last year. There was the usual bulk mailing and assisting around the office where necessary. There was no work in the Sumac problem areas. This year our projects included lawn mowing, weeding, trimming trees and shrubs. Other opportunities included moving furniture and repairing wheelbarrows. Fred started training on some of the Computer related tasks that Gwyneth and Jamie were doing(such as updating the blog) and is training for Mission Trip Administration.
We are Chaperoning a field trip this afternoon to a Potato Chip factory and a Zoo today and taking a tour of Wilmington and all the Urban Promise Centers tomorrow. We are hosting a Pizza Party for the Staff and Street leaders tomorrow night.
There has been a Gospel Band practicing next door to our house from 7PM to 9PM several nights a week this year and last year. It has been enjoyable just listening from next door, we were invited over so stopped in on Rehearsal. We had a wonderful time and thanked them for sharing their talents.
