Although I was a little wary going into it and very physically wary when it was over I had a great time. I have never been part of something like this as a leader. I am usually the receiver of activities not the one doer of the activities. In a group of 15 people, especially teenagers, you always worry about people not getting along. I felt very blessed in this that no one had any personality conflicts and we all stuck together pretty well. One of my favorite parts of the weekend was when some very "tough" guys were crying like a baby as they recounted their experience over the last two days.
While I will not be volunteering to be an EFY counselor in the future this experience was really great and instilled some "hope" in me that the future generations are not all going to pot.
I don't have the picture of our whole group yet but here are a few I took:

Had I been a leader I would of asked to be in charge of the despair and procrastination groups. Because even youth conference should have opposition in all things.
Hence the reason you were not a leader:)
I have always wanted to do something like this - for some reason, telling kids what to do and then having them look up to me for my wisdom has just always been my thing...so in sum, I am totally jealous of your life. Want to trade? (except can I keep Matt? You can just move to Idaho and have no human interaction)
So do you have your own little swarm of Jessica devotees now? I bet Chester would have loved to help you keep the kids in line.
May be not devotees but I have gained many new facebook friends.
