Rockridge!

Hello All!

This week, Jared and I have been spending time at Rockridge Canyon Camp in Princeton, BC. We are here for the annual BC Young Life Staff conference, so we've kept busy, but not too busy that we weren't absolutely stunned by the beauty of this place. As you probably already know by now, and are sick of me repeating, we don't have a camera, but I scoured the camp's website for these pictures because honestly, it takes a picture to fully describe this place. So here you go:

Ta-da! This is Rockridge in the summer. It is surrounded by mountains and overlooking a lake. The building you see in this pictures is Wolf Creek Lodge, which is sort of like a 5 star hotel at the camp. This is where we've been staying while we're here.

Of course, we're here in the middle of winter, and up here in the mountains they actually get snow. So our view is more like this:

The lake is frozen, the mountains are snow covered, but I'm not sure if that really takes away anything. It feels like we've stepped into Narnia :)

And we're definitely living a life of luxury here in Wolf Creek. Free hot meals 3 times a day (with dessert after each, I might add) and delicious snacks during the breaks, internet access, beautiful lounges and private rooms...I could get used to this. Here are some photos of the place:

Our bedrooms...

The lounge where I get to hang out when Jared is in classes and training

And this is just an awesome photo of the main dining hall. We've had our meals at the lodge because there are around 300 teenagers using this hall, but its still a pretty awesome place. 

In the summer they have a high ropes course, a zip line going over the lakes and connecting two mountains, a party barge, swimming pool...basically any teenager (and adult)'s dream. Young Life is a pretty cool organization. 

We return back to the real world tomorrow evening. We've met so many great people this week, and last week back in Langley too, that this place is finally starting to feel comfortable and real. And we've made some good friends across the border in Washington too, in case we need a fix of good old America :)
