KYNC Youth Retreat 12/20-22

Going to the youth retreat was absolutely a spontaneous decision.

So there I was, at Bonham Park - an hour north of Plano, a run-down "camping site" that actually scared me at first. Cabins had the most primitive heating system (which ultimately led us to turn them off every night), bathrooms were in a separate building from the cabins, and the "sanctuary" was not only small but directly connected to the kitchen - major distraction.



Food = everywhere. Koreans.





First night ended with skits and performances that got kids all hyped up.
My kids were the worst. Hehe.








2nd day - early morning, some kids were making fire...they were proud to tell me that they were in boyscout...







worship services.
Unfortunately, I took a long nap in the afternoon on the second day so didn't get much pictures of kids playing sports or whatnot.



Campfire. Sweet potatoes, ramen noodles, no smores...but the fire was awesome!



they got scared. pahaha.



Last day. scavenger hunt. I regret taking off with the kids into the woods. Most teachers just stayed.... SIGH.

It was fun for the first 5 minutes. After that, pain and exhaustion took over any positive feelings I had as we ran and walked through the nature trying to find the clues.



And then, we got lost.



girls from my group. They still wanted to take pictures anyway.






trying to find our way back........



when we finally got out of the woods, we realized that we ended up on the wrong side of the lake.
DEVASTATION. haha :(



Eugene Baek band. We're about to walk all the way back to the camp site...



It was more fun than I expected.
Definitely memorable...sleepless nights in cold, falling down and getting a huge bruise on my thigh, getting beat up by little boys, etc -__-
