THANK YOU!!!:

Thank you for sending me to Luther Village. I had so much fun. My favourite part was when we went canoeing  and we had a mini dance party but I loved everything else to like the pontoon boat, swimming, crafts, archery, campfire, morning jam, and the food there was amazing. My favourite meal was the spaghetti because it was utensil night and we had to use something from the kitchen. I got a metal spatchula it was easy; for desert we had jello but we had to use our faces it was very funny. I made lots of friends. My two best friends names are Journey and Robin. The cabin I was in was Grouse Hollow. My consolers name is Meaghan. She is very nice. My favourite things at the canteen were ice tea and lifesaver popsicle. I loved it so much. I wasn't home sick at all. I'm so thankful that I went. On the last day I got a green Luther Village T-shirt that says Luther Village camp 2014 on it. Then my Grandma got me a blue Luther Village water bottle and a yellow sweater that has LV 64 that stands for Luther Village since 1964. Thank you for sending me I had the best 5 days of my life. I can't thank you enough. This is the end of my camp experience if you want to ask some questions find me in the church. :)                                 by: Thera
