This past week I got the chance to go to Look Up Lodge!
I went with my brother's church Broadway Lake Baptist. We stayed from Wednesday August 6 through the 9th. My brother Larry and I were the two chaperons. There was 7 of us all together. I have to say that I had such an amazing time!!!! At first I was kind of scared to go! I was in charge of 3 girls! Marie, Brittany, and Reagan. I have never in my life been to a camp. So when I first arrived I was terrified! Not only did I end up having such a great time learning about The Lord, I had a blast with the kids!!! There was so much to do. Our schedule was so jam packed fun of fun stuff.
The first day we got there we were greeted by all of the summer staff. It was so exciting!! They welcomed us cheering and screaming!!! When we got out of our car we were told we were going to be on the Green team. Our two summer staff people were Tyler and Landry.
They were so awesome the whole week!!! They really taught the kids all about Jesus! The kids loved them!!! We stayed in the cabin at the main entrance. I have to say I am thankful we did because all of the hills we had to walk really killed me!!!! I am so out of shape!!! We got to do all kinds of activities the next day. Tristan, Kalab, and myself got on the giant swing. I can't believe that they made me get up there! I have to say that you could not pay me enough money to get on it again!!!
Tristan, Kalab, and Me!
We also rode the zip line into the water too! It was so much fun!!! We also swam! In order to swim in the deep end you had to take the swim text which was from one dock to the other and back. It was a lot further than it looked. I passed!!! Yay me! There was also a slide!! I think that was so much fun! I think it was my favorite thing!
This is the swimming area!
Each night in chapel we learned so much! I think it really opened my eyes to some things I really didn't realize about myself and The Lord. The message each night was so awesome!

Also each night they would do a skit. The characters were: The King of Look Up Lodge, The squire Patsy, Princess Daffodil, Drake the Draganslayer, Quincy Quick Draw, Pirate Dave, Hugel Hugel, and Malo Mallee (the bad guy).

The Play was so funny! I don't think I ever laughed so hard at some points. My favorite character was Pirate Dave! The play was basically about Malo trying to become King of Look Up lodge. He was evil and stole the specter. Pirate Dave, Quincy, Hugel, and Drake were trying to get the specter back by working together!
All in all I had such a wonderful time at Look Up Lodge!! I want to go back next year!! Hope you enjoyed my blog!!
