Campanigans 7!

Well guys I am sorry to disappoint you all with no campanigans but I will do a short recap of yesterday just to fill all of you anxious readers. Also, I want you all to be aware that these will not be as frequent after Monday just due to the business of camp and the sleep needed to maintain a high level of performance. That means that these might become weekly or biweekly and hit more highlights of the week rather than just the day to day activities. With that said, here goes.

Well yesterday was our camp day off, which was much needed, and much appreciated. I slept in till 10:30am which was awesome and then I took a shower and just lazed in my bed surfing the web for a bit. Then at 1:00pm we all went to lunch at Wendy's and came back to Union. When I got back I played a little disc golf on the random baskets that are dispersed around campus. It was really frustrating because I can't do my x-step for my backhand throws and that is so stinking rough so I didn't play for long. Then I did a few things in my Bible Study room and chilled till dinner when we went to Red Robin and I got the amazing Guacamole Bacon Burger. After dinner I ran back to Union, well I didn't literally run, but I rode with someone back to Union and got my truck. Then a bunch of us went to see Night at the Museum 2 which could beat Ben Stiller's highest grossing movie which to John Calhoun's surprise is Night at the Museum 1. I really enjoyed the movie and then we all came back and I got to bed somewhat early because I was exhausted.

Today we woke up and started training as usual but Kevin Spratt our camp director came in last night and will be with us at camp for the next couple of days. After morning devotions and other such activities we headed over to the worship center to hear about Crisis Management and Ministry through relationships. It was sad because we heard about the stats in the Southern Baptist Churches and how many students are dropping off the bandwagon after high school. Tonight we had Fazoli's for dinner and I just want to give a hand to our awesome FD (financial director) Danielle for providing such good food for our group. However that will begin to change when Union provides our food. Tonight after dinner we headed back to the office to talk about worship and the programming aspects of camp that we are going to have to deal with. Then we came back to do a scavenger hunt and if you are Leslie Hunt I ask you to stop reading here because I am getting ready to reveal the staff gift.

We went from station to station and since I couldn't run my group and I walked around the campus. In one station as we got on the ground, I saw a huge spider and I hopped up faster than a jackrabbit being chased by a coyote. I off course killed the spider and proceeded to do the human pyramid and when we had gotten to our last station we were directed toward the office. Now let me preface this statement by saying that every year Fuge gives away a big gift to their staffers. Also, Fuge has a contract with North Face and gets deals on North Face gear, so I knew it was going to be something good. We were all at the door and Jonesy our camp director told us to pull out our keys because we jingle our keys when we are getting ready to get free stuff. Also, I must say that Fuge gives away a ton of awesome free stuff, and before this staff gift I got, three shirts, shorts, sweatbands, a bracelet, and now our awesome staff gift.

As we walked into the office our camp coordinator, Kevin Spratt, also the guy I interviewed with, was sitting in a chair in the middle of the room. Kevin is also known as papa fuge and all around papa fuge were awesome North Face backpacks with the Fuge name and logo on them. There book bags are like $100 book bags people and they are stinking cool. I am so pumped and this is definitely what I was hoping we would get as staff. You will all get to see this sometime as I will be rocking it from now until forever. Thank you Fuge for treating us like royalty. I am so pumped to be here this summer. Hope this makes up for yesterday's lack of a Campanigans.

Union Love,
Jason
