Today was a great day for all the kids because they got to start their tracks. They were all so excited to go do things like football, babysitting 101, weird science, kitchen chaos, Wet & Wld, and so many more. They also got to climb "rec hill" for the first time today. It's really hard to explain in words just how steep and tall that hill is but it really should be given another name because it might be the closest that any of us will ever come to mountain climbing. The kids had a great time up there during recreation time and then a lot of them were back up there for the outdoor tracks. Most of the kids have made several new friends and are having a great time getting to know their Bible study group leaders. One of our favorite things about CentriKid is how involved the CK staff is with the kids even outside the structured times. They hang with the kids at the ice cream shop and spread out through the crowd at meal times so the kids really get to form a great connection with them.
Most kids had the chance to call home today and some sent text messages because they're afraid hearing their parent's voice will make them homesick, but if you didn't get either then comment on this post and I'll make sure to track them down tomorrow. Overall, we haven't had any cases of severe homesickness and every kid is really enjoying CentriKid. I know they will have so much to tell you when they get home!
