I woke up later than all my other bunkmates on my side. They had gone to an off-site location earlier that morning, but I had asked to stay back because I wanted to finish the work I had started. I got ready for the day, ate a good breakfast, and got to work. In theContinue reading

Today, we got the entire playground covered with tarp and made great progress mulching over it. We also moved rocks and trash out of the creek. Once we were in the creek, it got pretty deep, so we all ended up in water up to our waists. Despite the freezing cold water, we had loadsContinue reading “Divide and Conquer”

After a night of fun and fellowship, we discovered an amazing connection: one of their adult leaders hasContinue reading “It’s a Small World”

Today we went to a brunch place called the Board Game Café and sat in the back room with two big tables. It took a while for some people to get their food, but once everyone had eaten, we played games like Uno and BS. After we finished, we walked around Asheville and explored someContinue reading “Games and Lunch”
