So yesterday was a typical day (breakfast, small groups, large group, lunch time, workshops) until 5 o'clock when we decided to venture off into the French wilderness with nothing but our backpacks and each other to stay alive. Just kidding! We left camp in three groups led by different counselors and went for a nice 1.5-2 hour hike through some woods and on the sides of some roads. Thankfully, the first two groups made it safely to the field where we were to sleep, but the third group (the one I was in) took a few wrong turns and ended up basically hiking through the uncharted wilderness for a while. But we made it eventually! The field where we set up our tarps and sleeping bags had the MOST BEAUTIFUL view I have ever seen in my entire life! It was unreal. On one side of the field we could see the same mountains we see at Champfleuri, but facing the other way there was a valley with a few houses spotting the thick forest. And behind that thick forest were amazingly huge and awesome mountains with snow on the top of them!! My poor description does not do the view justice; it was truly amazing to be surrounded 360 degress by God's beautiful creation. And then we got to sleep under the stars, with no tents! It was for sure one of the best nights of my life. And now we are going to a ropes course and camping out again on Friday, followed by kayaking on Saturday. Everyone is super excited!
Thank you all again for your prayers! Please pray that we won't burn out before camp is over!
