Fuse Camp July 2012 (Part 1)

So I just got back from Fuse Summer Church Camp today at noon. It was super duper fun and I enjoyed every minute of it and being able to grow even closer to God and people who also worship God who I haven't met or go to my church and I don't really ever talk to. So we departed our church at noon on July, 27,2012 it took about 1 hour to reach Smith Mountain Lake. I was bunking with my friends Mackenzie and Hope and the my other friends Lynn, Marybeth, Brianna, and Emily were in the room right next to us.Then at 2:30 we had a team building and split into 4 groups to get to know each other and work on team work and communication it was really fun. After a couple of hours of that we all went back to our rooms to get ready for dinner at 5:45 dinner was really good. Then at 6:45 we had small group time were we split into girl and guys and just talked about team building and took prayer request then split into 2 people prayer's and just prayed. When my partner Marybeth and I were done we headed back to our rooms for our lodge time just to hang out. We all went up to the TV room on the 2nd floor and played cards and talked with our friend Tyler and got on our costumes until 8:30 which was our big group worship time. The band True Story played a couple worship songs then our guest speaker Cody Deese spoke about our identity and it really moved me. Following that my friends and I went back to our rooms and just hung out and talked till lights out at 11:30. Then on Saturday we woke up at 7 and had breakfast at 8. Following breakfast at 9 we had our revolution/amplified services and Ben our awesome summer intern-tern played his guitar and sang worship songs. Then the youth pastier from the other church with us talked and discussed what Cody has said the night before. Then at 10:30 we had our camp activity time and my friends and I all did riflery every one went except my friend Lynn and I because we ran out of time. During that time we talked to a guy named Charlie from our church while we waited and it was really funny. Then we went kayaking and canoeing Marybeth and I went kayaking while Mackenzie and Lynn went canoeing and we had a blast splashing each other and just learning how to work the kayaking and canoe's haha. Then at 12:45 we headed up for lunch then at 1:30 we had our free time were we could do what ever. So we all went to go try archery and it was super fun and  felt like Katniss hahahah and yes I almost hit the bulls-eye!! After archery we went to go ride horses and it was really fun minus the fact my horse kept trying to eat grass haha. Well I will finish telling you the rest of my experience in part 2 tomorrow. Have a great rest of the week. ~Veronica <3
