Awesome! My feelings are up to the roof right now, the day has been probably the most successful so far. The morning started with a liturgy, after which we had our normal camp activities. What felt like really soon, the dreaded part of the day, parents' visit, began with a beautiful service. To my surprise the evening went more smoothly than ever, a huge thanks is in order to my amazing team! Parents enjoyed it and we had fun.
One of my favorite moments of a camp is always the ask the priest-lesson. We had it in the church, everyone had written down questions about anything and everything. I found out some new things that I had always wondered but never known, which was very nice. Speaking of favorite moments, the lesson was followed by the biggest and most memorable event, disco!
Our trick succeeded perfectly. We told them that we have a visitor from Kuopio to tell us about some boring stuff, and they totally bought it. When we went to the main building to hear her lecture, the lights had been switched off and the music started to play. The amazement and confusion on their faces was priceless. We partied for a while, ate, had some games and slowly danced as a big circle to Celine Dion's My heart will go on and we did it, we made them cry!!! Happy tears this time and that's what tells us we did something right.
Now I have nothing more to say, except that I am really starting to feel relief and happiness that we have managed to provide the youngsters a time of their life they will remember for a long time. All this means that I have to have succeeded as the leader at least a little! I can look back at the past week and point out things I would have done differently but I also see where I have grown from last year's camp. I am grateful that I was given this chance and I want the parish and the people who work there to know that I appreciate their trust in me.
One day and a half left, hopefully everything will keep going the way it is right now and we can have a perfect ending to an exceptionally functional camp!
