Kicking Off Confidence Camp


And... here we go!

All six "campers" are set up and ready to dig into the material tomorrow.

We had a "get acquainted" campfire with sharing and s'mores, and a funny story. How much more basic can one get for an opening to camp?

Interestingly enough, when I took a tent out to set up for my sleeping quarters (yes, I'm camping out with everyone), I discovered that the shock cord that holds the poles rigid once you slip the parts together, was completely disintegrated. Hmmm. OK, I haven't used that tent for a few years, but it was a really expensive one. I was pretty surprised. It can be fixed, but I don't think things should fail that soon. My first tent that size lasted 25 years, and it got used a lot.

Anyway, I set up the newest, big tent instead. That way I can keep all the teaching stuff in there with me out of the wind and weather.

Gotta finish up and get back out there.
