Sabbath
Special music on the Sabbath was amazing! The back row was playing their recorders, the middle row singing, and the front row was signing the song! They learned everything at camp and in only a couple classes!
Some group shots:
The "American" group:

The incredibly scary spider web!
Cooking
This class was taught by Ann (I'll get back to you on the last name after I find my list of staff members:-). The first day they made some very delicious donuts, and the staff was quite happy that there were 3 dorms that had to make donuts...and that we had to test each batch:-)
Receiving their instructions:
Forming the donuts (some even had filling...mmm):
Final product = delicious!
The donuts made everyone smile! Awesome job everyone!

Camp Week Relived
The rest of the evening was used to prep for the following day's activities...and for the campers and staff to start getting to know each other. I'll try to introduce you to some of the Nigerian brethren along the way as well...let's start with these two lovely ladies:
Ms. Lola
Lola worked on rock climbing staff and taught Bobbi and myself African songs and chants while we rode out to the rocks each day. She also worked hard to pamper us Americans and fix us some special foods throughout the week (despite our protests) like "safe" vegetables that had been cooked with bottled water, "chips" (which we would call fries:), and other yummy things. Thank you Lola!
Ms. Ronti/Becky
It's not unusual for our Nigerian friends to have two names...their real name and then an "American" name for those who have trouble pronouncing the real one:-) Ronti was a counselor and infused her dorm with loads of energy, keeping the campers singing and smiling everywhere they went:-) Miss you ladies!
