Come and Play

Renan and I playing in Lake Clearwater after dinner

Staff afternoon in the Lake once the group leaves!

Something I have been learning over the past month is how important it is to PLAY. To go outside and run around, to tackle eachother, to start water fights, to jump in the lake, to throw a frisbee, to laugh until it hurts, to kick the soccer ball around... We were created with the desire to have fun and to play and be silly, its part of who we are! But so often we take ourselves so seriously and going out and doing something that may result in being undignified is out of the question. My job here at camp is pretty much to play and have fun and help other people do the same thing, so it's a lesson I have been learning in a really awesome way, around other people who are experts at playing.
So next year as I go to university then begin work afterward, I dont ever want to forget how to play. Everyday. It makes me come alive again.
