Week Eleven: First Time

Song of the Week: Feels Like the First Time by Foreigner

In the past nine months I've been working for Yona, I've had a lot of first moments. I chopped wood, I got my own business card, and I rode in a tow truck- all for the first time.

Here are a few more of my firsts ....

first time using a chainsaw,

first time driving a backhoe,

first lesson driving a manual,

first time weed-eating,

first time in Honduras,

first time beaver hunting,

first time to start a controlled fire.

Our desire is for Camp Yona to be a place girls can experience many firsts. They won't learn how to start a controlled fire or use a chainsaw; but maybe it'll be their first time to climb a pole 40 feet, shoot a gun, develop their own film, break a board with their arm, or change a tire.

Camp Yona strives to be a place girls can have a wide variety of experiences. A place girls feel comfortable trying new things. A place to learn from their failures and celebrate their successes.
