Following our week of urban adventure in Vancouver, we traveled to Charis Camp just outside of Chilliwack, BC. Charis is a cozy and beautiful place, which is pretty much our home base for the rest of the semester.
Our first week at Charis was a week for class, assignments, mentoring and reflection. We explored the topic of “knowing yourself”. We took a personality test, discussed the importance of values and explored different “love languages”. Not only did these exercises help us to understand ourselves, but also we learned more about each other and how to be better friends within the community. We also spent time with our small groups. We met for a bible study, focusing on the concept of grace.
We had time to relax, play games, explore the wilderness, or just hang out. The small group challenge put us head to head in a variety of skill testing activities. Rolling down hills, collecting leaves, relays and more.
It was also a fun week of growing both in self-awareness and friendship, and we topped it all off with a sweet Halloween bash.
