E.F.T. stuff! :D

May 23, 2008

Hi everyone!

 

So here is what happened at E.F.T.! My roommates were Torrie and Kiersten. The room mom was Torrie’s mom. My cabin was called Sun Valley and there were two other rooms in the cabin for other girl groups to sleep in. There was also a 2nd floor which a mom who had no one with her got to sleep in. 

 

Monday:

 

8:45-9:30-Load buses

9:30-11:30-Head for the camp (It’s called Trinity Pines)

11:30-12:00-Unload and set up the rooms

12:30-1:30-Eat lunch

1:30-2:30-Survival class 

2:30-3:00-Break

3:00-4:00-Lashing class

4:00-5:00-Nature walk/hike class [Leader of the class gave us a list of items to find on the way up the mountain]

5:00-5:15-Break

5:15-6:15-Dinner

6:15-7:15-Archery class

7:15-7:30-Break

7:30-9:30-Evening activity [The whole grade got together in the main (or conference) room and a teacher taught us some little song things)]

9:30-10:00-Get ready for lights out [Except it took my room until 10:30/11:00 to get ready]

10:00-Lights out [Torrie, Kiersten, Torrie’s mom, and I were talking for a long time before bed, though]

 

Tuesday:

 

8:00-8:45-Breakfast

8:45-12:00- HIGH ROPES [The zipline, catwalk, and a wire thing where stuff are attached on trees (about 30/40 ft. up) and we get to do stuff on it.]

Zipline: We had to climb up to a platform on top of a tree to where a guy will be up there. He will attach this hook thing on your back onto a wire/rope that will make you go above a few trees and I think it goes 40/50 ft. across I think. It was fun!

Catwalk: We climb up a tree and there will be a long log attached to two trees and we have to walk across it. It was scary for most people, but some people just ran across it.

The wire one: Didn’t do because I had no time. Hehe

12:00-12:15-Break

12:15-1:15-Lunch

1:15-4:30-Low ropes. [Team building activities. My group had to help each other get across some ropes and stuff like that]

4:30-5:15-Break

5:15-6:30-Dinner

6:30-9:30-Campfire and skits 

Campfire: We sang some songs. They were the following:

“Take Me Home Country Roads”

“Dead Skunk”

“Good Riddance (Time of your Life)”

“I’m a Believer”

“Imagine”

“Signs”

“Cats in the Cradle” 

“Brown Eyed Girl”

“You are my Sunshine”

“6th Avenue Heartache”

“Wild Night”

“Take it Easy”

“Already Gone”

“Thunder Road”

It was nice singing them and the leaders were a mom and a dad. They both played the guitar for us.

The only bad part about the night was that it was raining so we all had to stay inside and just huddle around the fireplace instead of the actual campfire. We had smores and then the skits. Each group had to split up into two and my half of the group just went along with the skit while we were performing. 

9:30-10:00-Get ready for bed

10:00-Lights out for a long tomorrow.

3 more days until E.F.T.! 

My roommates are Torrie and Kiersten :) I also have my traveling groups, but I forgot most of them since my teacher had to take the info book back. It sounds really fun! We go to a hot springs, a couple parks, and we get to do activities. Some activities:

Fly fishing
Rope courses
And lots more!
I can’t wait!!!

May 15, 2008

4 days until E.F.T.! Yes! I have started to sort out things to pack. I still need to look for more clothes!

I feel bad for my friend, Samah. She has to be cabin mates with a girl she doesn’t get a long with. Hopefully, things will turn out okay.
Tomorrow my teacher will give everyone the info book about E.F.T. and our yearbooks! Yay!!
Comment and talk 

Cabin mates!

May 14, 2008

5 more days until E.F.T.! I know two of my cabin mates! I can’t tell, though, because my teacher wasn’t even supposed to tell who they were. My friends and I mobbed him after school and he told some of us who we were with. There are 5 people in a cabin total, so I still need to know the two more!!

Comment and say hi! :)
