First Friends Campout, July 9-10 Pass It On Coordinator, Chip Martin, and the BBBS staff took twelve First Friends to Lake Brownwood for an overnight campout, July 9-10. Southern Hills College Ministry provided Bigs for the day to sponsor this event. After piling out of the vans, the First Friends were matched and began setting up their tents. Rusty Emmons, Match Support Coordinator, began cooking hot dogs and hamburgers for the hungry group. As the temperature rose, Natalie Hedges, Enrollment and Matching Coordinator, led the group to the swimming area to cool off. Everyone then enjoyed cobbler and a devotional time led by Southern Hills. Ginger Owens, Program Director, awoke at sunrise to begin cooking breakfast burritos for the rested gang. Southern Hills started the day with game of popping the balloon tied to someone’s ankle, followed by a water balloon fight. Everyone was already wet, so they jumped in the water for another swim. Lunch was followed by Chip Martin demonstrating ways to start a fire without matches and how to produce drinkable water. Sarah Rock, Match and Enrollment Specialist, sent all the matches on a Scavenger Hunt which ended in a tie between two matches. After one more swim, the group headed home after a great weekend.
