Day 1 - Centri Kid 2010

It only took 10.5 hours to make it but we finally arrived in Ridgecrest, NC.  We had a great time on the long bus ride, watching movies and getting to know each other a little better.  We arrived on campus about 3:50pm, just 10 minutes before the registration deadline.  After a quick orientation for all the campers, we unloaded the bus and literally threw our bags in the room before heading to supper.  We had a quick supper and then headed to Opening Ceremonies.  The kids (& chaperones) had a great time "dancing" with Jeff Slaughter before heading out to meet their Bible Study Group.  They returned for the "Party" and got to cheer for the boys or girls teams during some exciting team games.  We then headed to our church group time and everyone got to share a little and get all the 411 on camp stuff.  As soon as they heard the words "see you in about 30 minutes" they were all off to find the ice cream shop.  The night was super short and we are sorry not many phone calls got made.  The short free time tonight and the very, very poor cell phone reception here just made it impossible to talk to many parents.  But PLEASE do not worry!  Every child is really having a great time!  We will hopefully get to make all the phone calls tomorrow.  I'm going to attempt to upload a few of the videos from today but if not tonight, then tomorrow morning.  7am is definitely going to be here too soon!
