Today I got my bikers to climb a mountain. A girl came along, she must have been 12. My Brazilian assistant had to push both her and his bikes up the entire mountain. She walked as slow as any person you've ever seen. We made it somehow though. Girls sign up for Mountain biking even though they've never mountain biked before, because the regular camp group is totally full. It makes it hard, I often wish they would quit biking and do something else, but we have to go at their pace, so it made it a little hard on my assistant, but he's a tank, so it worked. The guys complained the whole way, but I'm just so happy we made it. A few days ago they complained whenever we had to ride up a hill, but now they have that actual mountain biking experience, that actual adventure and sense of accomplishment. When I was in biking at Q in 2003ish, we did way more adventure stuff, and I thought these kids were just lame because they complained so much, but I think from now on I'm going to do more with them, that way they'll get over their complaining faster, and the girls might decide not to come on the big ride (it's ok, I swear, they'll have more fun playing volleyball or something, I'm not being mean)
Tonight is the weekly concert of secular songs, in addition to the regular Christian stuff. There's a lot of pressure put on it from the campers, it could be really lame because it's our first time playing through the set.
