a better picture of camp

i realized yesterday that we haven't posted anything that would help you get a better idea of what our schedule is at camp and what we do every day during camp. we wanted to make it a bit clearer for you. there will also be another update coming later today or tomorrow about our second camp as well.

so this is what happens for a typical camp. we arrived to the camp location on:

Friday (this is the day before camp, students arrive saturday)

• dividing up bed rooms
• making banners, signs, and mailboxes for the doors
• setting up technical equipment for band/projection equipment
• praying for the camp, students, and our team
• spend a little more time getting to know the Czech youth group

Saturday (first day students arrive)

• check the students in 
• play games with them as they wait to be tested for English
• test the students on their English comprehension and speaking abilities
• place the students into classes
• take students to their room to get settled in
• eat dinner together as a camp, and introduce leaders
• first evening program
• announce English classes
• go to discussion groups
