More Camp

Update : Wanocksett
End of Week 2

This week was our inspection week, so we could be accredited by the Boy Scouts of America. It was full of hard work, and a lot of small detail work to make sure we hit all the requirements. This week was a little different for me because i usually do not have to teach the campers, but i worked with the nurse and taught first aid because the class was too large for her to handle. Before this week, i was not sure what to think of the nurse, but now i have a little bit of an idea what she is like.

WE PASSED INSPECTION!!!

I enjoy working at camp on the ranger corps because it gives me a lot more freedom, and sometimes gives me an excuse to skip out on some parts of the program that are not as fun to be a part of. The only real down side is that the campers do not really know who i am, and i do not know the rest of the staff as well at this point. The only people i really know are the ones that have been there in years past, and the ones i work with regularly. On thursday we had a dance with the girls camp across the lake. the only reason i mention it is becasue i think its funny to see the reaction of both the girls and boys when they first see each other... and how it reminds em of middle school dances where the 2 groups are pretty much divided until the very end.

Every friday night i am in charge of making the Pizzas the troops order. This week went a lot better because we acrually knew the process, and we had a little more help... like 2 people more. the only real down side to it is that i do not get to go to the closing camp fire to watch the silly songs and skits the Staff perform. the nurse keeps telling me i need to see their rado skit, but there is only so much i can do to be at the fire while cooking pizza for the entire camp. This week during pizza i burned myself pretty bad on my arm. ill try and get a oicture up in my next update. I didn't do anything about it until after pizza was done cooking. i went to get it looked at after i was done and got critisized for waiting. i didn't think much of it, but they are alreagy looking a lot better than they did when i first got them.

Today instead of coming home and leaving camp right away, i stayed and hung out with several people. we went sailing and tubing behind the motorboat. I enjoyed the sailing more just because it gave me a chance to think about things and didn't hurt as much. I also got to meet about half the nurse's family. i had a lot more fun playing at camp this today than i would of if i came home.
