Workcamp 2003

For Workcamp 2003 the Webster Presbyterian Youth Group headed off to the hollers of Kentucky for a week of work, fun, and fellowship.  We left from church 30 minutes late, or on time for Presbyterian time as we later decided, on April 12.

That night we stayed at Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati so we wouldn't have to drive through the winding roads of Kentucky in the dark after a long day.

To keep us amused in the car, each van was told to create a skit to perform that night.  It was a very interesting display to say the least, especially our AP nerd car.  We wrote a skit that seemed to go completely over everybody's heads since it contained a number of puns.  Oh well.allen van talent show 1.jpg (44499 bytes)  allen van talent show 2.jpg (16857 bytes)

Introducing what not to do at workcamp: Don't dance at the worksites and never ever try to steal the Ma Spitz cookies.

Well, all too soon we decided it was time to tuck ourselves into bed.  Well, there weren't really beds.  We just rolled out our sleeping bags (yes, all 41 of us) on the floor of a conference room.  Let's just say that space was sorta tight.  Don't even think of getting up in the middle of the night - you'll just step on 12 people trying to find the door.

It resembles a jigsaw puzzle in a way...

After invading the normally small worship service, we were ready to start our second leg of the journey.  Well, since we're us, we can't do anything without taking a bunch of pictures.
