I'm always intimidated to make a blog post after camp, because I know I'll forget so many hugely important details about it. Well anyway, camp was super great, and I'll be going up there a lot more this summer. I've got a day camp in Manitowoc with Steve (What a sweet guy) a 6-8 grade week, and a Jesus Cares, which will probably be a huge learning experience for me.
I also had a Day camp in Fond du Lac at Becca's church, but stupid band forced me to have to cancel. It's really a bummer, but I'll just have to make the most of the weeks I can attend.
One cool but fairly secondary thing about camp was all the soccer we played. I've gotten really into following soccer lately, especially with the world cup and all, but also trying to rally support around the MLS. I scored some ridiculous number of goals, but I felt pretty bad about them, because I was basically hardcore cherry-picking and taking away other people's more deserved chances. I guess I might be too hard on myself.
I've also watched at least some of every world cup game since I got home from camp. Including the US and their sweet draw against Italia that keeps them alive. If they, however, get eliminated, I've chosen to cheer for, in this order
1. Teams from Africa
2. The Netherlands
3. South Korea
4. England
So I'm obviously getting a huge kick out the World Cup (Surprisingly, pun NOT intended). And Soccer in general. I can't wait until Milwaukee gets our MLS team. I'm going to go to a bunch of games, and it's gonna be sweet, and David Beckham is gonna play for them. Because he seriously is planning on joining the MLS once they get sick of him in Real Madrid or something.
Anyway, probably everyone reading this could care less about soccer, but it's moved into second on my list (Football is solid at the top, mainly because of fantasy football and its social aspect). So if you find yourself watching soccer sometime soon, realize you're not alone. I don't know how that helps you, but...ah...I've got nothing.

Okay, so i was at Bonnaroo during the Italia game, and they were playing it in the Cinema. And all over Centeroo (the main place) you could just tell what was going on because you could hear the cheers and stuff. It was crazy. I loved it.
joe, he cancelled at North Fond du Lac
But you're both going to the Fond du Lac one?? You should all come to my house sometime that week!
I don't have regular Fond du Lac, just had North. The only other day camp I have is Manitowoc with Steve Vandenburg, unless Matthew decides to give me another day camp.
I like everything about the post, except the title.
I was so confused by your comment....but, I get it now.
'twas good seeing you again. It'd be so sweet if you were in my cabin as junior staff. Yes, it would.
