The first couple days that I was there were for Wilderness First Aid. I can't remember who was there for it and when people arrived. I can't remember when I first meet a lot of people although I have tried and would like to. I wish I could remeet them, knowing them like I do now, but I guess that is just not possible.
Spending all day learning about first aid gets really tiring, even if you do have rad instructors. We spent a lot of time talking about different scenarios and role playing getting hurt. It was pretty fun and an interesting way to meet people.
It was a pretty low key time, meals were real relaxed, we all set up and cleaned up. After dinner we had time off so I wandered around the island with some others, trying to get a feel for where was were and what was what. It was pretty confusing and took a while to learn my way around.
The island is largely woods with a few fields. On the boys side of the camp there is an airstrip and a marsh, all the units are off it. Also over there is the ropes course, garden, archery and Chapel Rock. The girls units are along the water on the other side. In the middle is the lodge, health center, craft shop and water front. On the complete other side is the Big House and the spots most of the overnights take place. All of it is drop dead gorgeous. The view from the lodge (which only has three walls) is of the water and the mountains on the peninsula. It always made me happy to look out and see the mountains right by PA.
