The weather was just right—cool in the mornings and at night, and warm during the day. Campers enjoyed games such as Bingo and Bible Trivia, and the winners received prizes. We also held sessions out on the deck of the Conference Center. Patrice Williams spoke about the Meta Glasses, Marvin Nelson led an exercise class and shared how to use a cane for self-defense, and Karen Davis taught a gardening class. Campers who participated in the gardening session were able to take home the plants they had planted.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>We went on an outing to Hagood Mill, where we were able to check out petroglyphs made by Native Americans. There is also an original cabin, set up in 1792, with household items from that time period. The mill itself was established in 1845 and still uses a twenty-foot wheel for grinding. There is a gift shop where campers enjoyed purchasing a variety of items. Lenora and the kitchen crew packed lunches for everyone, and we ate together while we were there. After returning to Rocky Bottom, we went up to Sassafras Mountain and took pictures. Throughout the entire time, I especially enjoyed hearing the campers laughing and having such a good time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>I would like to thank Lenora Robertson, Caroline Philips, Caroline Jackson, Barry Chavis, Gerald McMurray, Harold and Olivia Anderson, and Isaiah Nelson for the great job they did in the kitchen. I especially want to thank Gerald McMurray for all the help he provided—working in the kitchen, calling out games, driving the golf cart, and assisting campers with whatever they needed. Thanks also to Emo, Grady’s friend, who was a big help in the kitchen, making sure campers had drinks and helping with trash. He also made sure campers got back and forth to their rooms. I appreciate Karen Davis for helping campers get back to their seats after meals and for assisting those who needed help with drinks. Thank you to Harold Anderson for handling repairs in the rooms and around Rocky Bottom. I would also like to thank Isaiah Nelson for arranging drivers, Anita Beasley and Roger Hernandez, for transportation from Columbia to Rocky Bottom and back. Thank you, Anita and Roger. Gerald McMurray also drove from Aiken, picking up campers along the way, and Kerry Thompson helped transport campers from Sumter to Rocky Bottom. Finally, I would like to thank all the campers who participated and made it such a great time.
