Responsibility? What?

Well-

Ropes Training was quite an event...
Can I just start off by saying that Central Texas, is freaking beautiful... and no I don't mean UMHB or Temple, or even Belton...
Out here, in the woods... in the middle of nowhere. It's beautiful.
Wildflowers everywhere, trees, cactus, birds, armadillo, wild deer, everywhere. I love it.

Actually, funny story- last night.. or was it two nights ago? Look I'm already forgetting the days, guess I need to keep up on this a little better. Hah. Well anyways, a doe chased me all the way back to my cabin, I guess she was afraid that I was coming after her little fawn. But anyways. It was freaky. haha..

I am now officially a certified High Ropes facilitator. :)
I can set up, take town, belay, zip line, catwalk, rockwall... go me.

Today was a little more in depth training, per say... We learned, basically more responsibility... It kind of freaked me out a little, not gunna lie. I mean, I'm no longer the little kid who just cimbs up a ladder and hops onto a zip line, and that's all there is to it.

NO. I am the one IN CHARGE, those little lives are depending on me to keep them safe... I don't have anyone out there walking me through any of the processes nor do I have someone double checking my caribeaners for me... nope. IT'S ALL ME. Freaky.

But anyways. I thought it might be kind of cool for you guys to know the kinds of little cuties I will be working with this summer... So... I'm gunna put up the handy little list.

  • Camp Teen Challenge- Vision impaired students
  • Cam Grey Dove- Siblings of Cancer patients
  • Patriot Kids Ministries- Kids of Military Families
  • Camp Bluebonnet- Diabetes Children of all ages
  • Out on a Limb- Multiple Limb amputees
  • Soaring Eagle- Neurological Disorders
  • Project Heartbeat- Displaced Students
  • Camp Care A Lot- Mixed Diagnosis
  • Hands Down 2- Hand differences
  • Camp Just Like Me- Arthrogryposis
  • YMCA Armed Services- Childeren of Deployed Soldiers

So, there's my emotional rollercoaster for the summer. :)

I'm excited, and nervous as well... But I know that God is going to do incredible things this summer.

Love you all, and I'll check back in when I can. :)
