Camp Day 2

So you survived the first day? Excellent news, and in the brief hour you have before you have to get them all up, take note of the ways you could die today.

The first trip takes you to the university in the hills, make sure you bring comfortable sneakers, not just because there will be lots of walking, but you will need firm footing. At one point, after the first session, (which you might fall asleep in, so keep focussed), you will have the opportunity to explore the accommodation. To get there, you must walk across a bridge, one that lays over a deep gully. Most of the young people will be fine, but one won’t. He will struggle, in fact, he will shuffle his way across the bridge. You will be forced to walk with him, and while you will be tempted to gaze over the edge, you shouldn’t. As you point out to the boy that all bridges are built with the exact intention of it not falling down, a mate of his will start jumping on the bridge. The boy will freak out and pounce towards you and you will lean and then fall, over the edge. In addition to the grieving of your wife, it will have done nothing to help the boys fear. Just walk straight in the middle and it will all be fine.

Once you return from the university you will have a few moments of rest, which I suggest you use, before you all walk to the local mini-golf hole. At mini-golf you will have the option to play with the young people, which you will feel inclined to, but there are a few people to be aware of. The first person is Zoe on hole three. There is a ramp that goes up to a hole, and she will repeatedly not hit the ball hard enough. After the fourth attempt, she will overcompensate and smash the ball so hard that it will fly up the hill, over the top of the hole, into the fake palm tree and then rebound into your throat. To avoid this, first, tell Zoe to not hit so hard, but second, make sure you are standing directly behind her. The second person is Trey on hole seven. Here you do not need to watch for a ball but a club. Being a teenage boy, he will be obliged to muck around with his mates, which include doing massive backswings on the club. On one of those swings, he will swing back as you step back, not realising that he is behind you. The boy will strike you and you will fall, dying instantly. To avoid this, make sure you don’t step back. Love mentioned that Trey is quite fond of Stacey, so if you put her in his group then he will behave much better. The final young person to be aware of is Shanae. She won’t kill you, but she will be hit by a stray ball and, as she is quite a fragile girl, will claim she cannot walk. To avoid wasting time, make sure to bring the van with you, so she can get in. You might choose to stop the boy who accidentally hits her, but this is a good opportunity for her to harden up, she is quite sheltered at home, and she will be skipping around the next day anyway.

After that make sure you rest well, you still will have two more days of camp left and do more days of dodging danger.
