The Gap Opening retreat this year took place at a campsite near the pine river, we left in the evening on friday and arrived 2 hours later after getting lost. When we arrived we arrived we set up camp which was a 6 person tent even though there was only three of us, then got to work on the fire. For dinner we had steak and potatoes which we wrapped in tinfoil and roasted on the fire.
The next day we woke up early and were going to leave at 6am, but due to the rain we ended uo sleeping till 10am. Once it was all clear we rented a raft and setsail on the river. This river included alot of turns and rapids, and every so often there would be a very large sand hill that we would climb then jump down. After 4 hrs of climbing, rafting, and relaxing down the river we arrived back at the car then headed for camp. Due to the rain we were not able to start a fire and we came home to Lansing and ate the rest of the food.
The Gap retreat was very relaxing and unlike past years we only had two gappers, myself and Jeery who is actually gapping in Lansing. The retreat provided a time of bonding, and get to know a little about what to expect in the Gap program. It was an overall amazing experience, though very wet, it a glimpse on the flexibility needed to overcome the obstacles that would come throughout the year. You're in my prayers
God Bless
