Camp Update!

End of Week 6


Camp is basically the same, but there have been a few challenges. We now have a couple of staff members on vacation for the rest of the summer... not by choice. Next week is our last week with campers, and is usually the most fun because of all the "bonus" programs. Over the past month, we had some staff members go to Philmont scout ranch, in New Mexico. it is a high adventure base where scouts go and backpack for a couple of weeks. While they were gone, program ran the same, but people were borrowed from other areas, and everyone did what they were supposed to. Over the past couple of weeks, i have broken apart, and burned a building, and learned to drive the camp tractor. The funny part about the tractor is that i am allowed to operate it, but the camp director, and assistant camp director is not allowed to use it. In the past couple of weeks, i have also broken a lawn mower and replaced the starter in the red truck, and in the new motor boat.

CRAZY STAFF FUN DAY!!!

Between weeks 5 and 6 this year we went on crazy staff fun day. it is just as it sounds, a lot of fun. we go to the beach for the day, and then spend several hours at the hampton boardwalk at night. this year it was a lot of fun, but it rained for a little while. every year we get in some kind of trouble with the police. this year, a group of our older staff members acted like raptors, and attacked one of the younger staff members on the beach... the police thought someone was being raped. Before we even left for the trip, one of our staff members accadently dumped a cup of soda on the bus driver... he was pissed. oh yeah... the bus driver was not good at shifting the bus, almost every time he shifted, he would grind gears... i cringed every time.. and my music was dead so i couldn't drown it out :^(
