Bay's Mountain

   As we like to say, "Lean on God and each other, He's got you if you fall, or walk by faith that God will carry you through the challenges." Every year at senior and junior camp, if I am a camper or a volunteer, we go to Bay's Mountain. It's such a beautiful place in general, but we go for the high and low ropes courses and the zip line.
   This is an experience like no other, you learn to trust the people you have right beside you and to trust God that things will work out in the long run. We enjoy this trip, even though we are getting to do something we love, we are getting to make memories with our friends in Christ. We get to have fun while doing something new, and while doing this, it requires a lot of trust between the people you are with. MaryBeth and I have been going for the past three years, and in the last high ropes course we went to, we were able to help out the staff with our experience there at Bay's Mountain. We both love heights and we love the feeling of being in the air, only attached by a harness and rope. Zip lining is a feeling as if you are free from all worries, and as if nothing can hurt you. As you are flying through the air, attached only by a single rope, you have a sudden rush of adrenaline that runs through your body. As if you are unstoppable or as nothing can touch you.
   It is a trip that we love, and are thankful to go on trip every year. While on the high ropes course, the ones that are afraid of heights need some help and some support. People at Bay's Mountain call me Coach Collingsworth, because I act as a coach during the course. MaryBeth and I enjoy being a support system for others, and we both get to enjoy the fact of helping someone when they are scared. After the courses and the zip lining we head back to camp. On the bus everyone ends up falling asleep, because we are all so tired from the long day. We get to have a time of sharing, which includes stating how someone helped you or how you experienced something you hadn't before. It's a wonderful experience that shows you what it's like to trust others and be thankful for the people around you.
