Day Two!

Today was a much looooonger day of service here at Camp Heartland. We worked on a lot of organizational projects today, getting the camp back in order after a summer (and fall) of camp sessions. We organized a closet of a million different types of paint - I honestly had no idea there was so much variety, other than exterior/interior! We moved a whole closet of sleeping bags, and organized the entire "drama closet", which is essentially all of the costumes used all summer. And that was all before lunch!

After lunch, we braved the Minnesota winter for the first time, as half of the group moved shelves, televisions, and food from an outside storage facility into the camp. The rest of us worked on washing two solid days of dishes, since the kitchen's hot water heater had been broken the past two days. After we had finished working on organizing parts of the main camp, we moved out to the shower houses and organized all of the towels, sheets, and other laundry-related things out there. The winter weather here is cold, but (at least today), it seemed to be just as cold as winter in Ohio. Though, the wind chill tomorrow is supposed to be around -20, so we'll be staying inside all day tomorrow.

Tonight is another night of movies, hot chocolate, and getting to know each other better. Everyone on the trip has reached a nice level of comfort with each other; the conversation flows really easily and we usually wrap up each meal cracking up.
