Hey everyone!!! This is Sarah H. giving our report for the day. Well, we have been having a great time here at Spruce Lake so far. Today we did a lot, and it was actually one of the busiest days of the week! This morning after breakfast we had our routinely morning prayer and discussions. Today, we discussed land, water, and plants. After this, we did our first activity, which was geo-caching. None of us knew what this was beforehand, except Katie, but now we know that its when you use a GPS system as a navigator to guide you around the camp, or anywhere in order to find clues and points of latitude and longitude in order to find more clues, and the cache. Apparently its a world-wide game.We broke up into three groups- boys, girls, and adults. Guess who won... the adults. (They cheated) :) It was a lot of fun though. We learned a lot about geo-caching and our spirituality. After that, we ate lunch, which was actually very good.

As you know, we were going to go on a nature hike yesterday, but we got 2 inches of rain, and it was rescheduled for today. We hiked 250 feet up the mountain. Our guide, Doug, taught us that you can eat the pine needles of hemlock trees, how to make mud out of rocks, and many MANY other things about nature. We also got to see beautiful waterfalls at the top!

Lastly, we played the clue endangered species game. We were in teams and we all had to run around the camp at night looking for clues to narrow it down to one suspect, weapon, and habitat. The boys and Katie saw a skunk crossing the road!! they're fine though. Hopre everyone's doing well! Seeya soon!
