Leadership weekend at Timberwolf


This weekend I went to the YL Leadership weekend at Timberwolf Lake. Timberwolf Lake is Young Life's newest camp and it is in Michigan. About two hours north of Jenison.
All YL Leaders from two regions were there. It was a lot of fun, they did funny sketches and the clubs were also very interesting. One of the sketches included Dr. Phil and some guy named Joel Osteen, very funny, but you had to be there.

Saturday afternoon we had free time to do all the fun stuff they do at YL camps.
First I did the Zip Line, where you get hooked on to and then slide down and end in the water of the lake. There is also 'The Blob', which is a big air cushion where one person sits on the end of and then the next person jumps on the other end from about 12 feet (3,6 m) high, and than the first person goes flying up in the air and into the water. That part can be fun except I just flew straight in to the water and didn't go up at all. But before that, I had to jump on it to send the person in front of me flying, but when I landed on the blob I fell back and My neck got this whiplash effect and my neck is still a bit stiff today. So that was my first and probably the last time on 'the Blob'. After that I went on the rope swing and that gave me a big bruise on my wrist, but next time I will try that again, I guess.
The last thing I did that afternoon was Tubing. That was so much fun, I fell off twice and that wasn't really comfortable but still it was awesome.
So all in all I am a bit bruised in some places but it was worth it. I can't wait for the fall weekend we'll have at Timberwolf in November with the Highschool kids.
