What an amazing past two days it has been! I'm not doing to well keeping up with my "daily" blog this week, I am just so busy! On Tuesday, my first session was at bikes. I had a group of boys who were so quiet! We explored some trails on the new property and had a blast! From there I went to paddle boats. I only had 2 campers and a counselor. They sat under the zip-line and splashed the people zipping down over the lake. I sat on the dock and watched them, as well as hung out with the kids who were fishing. It was so neat to see one camper's face light up as she caught her first fish ever! It was so rewarding. I had my third session off and went back to my room where I blogged about the day before. Then came lunch and shoes off time. During shoes off time there was a remembrance service for those people who were in the camp's family that passed away this past year. I decided not to go, because I didn't know any campers from last year. I'm sure if I work at camp next summer it will be a very emotional time. I also had the fourth session off and took a nap. Boy did I need that nap! It was wonderful too! My fifth session I had kkayaks. Kayaking never gets old for me, I always have so much fun doing it. During dinner a horrible storm brewed up. We were stuck in the dining hall for some time because it was storming so bad! Dimensions got cancelled and so we played board games with some of the campers in the media center. I was asked by Sarah Beth to lead a Talent Show because the evening program was cancelled due to the rain. That was so much fun! I got to see different campers from cabins come together and make skits and sing songs. After that I headed to my room for some serious shower time and bed time!
Today I had kayaking in the morning after breakfast. I had a group of girls and a few boys. They were so well behaved! We made a new rule that if campers jump, sink, or tip their canoe or kayak they have to go to the med lodge and get examined. None of the kids want to take time out of their fun day at camp to do this, so therefore, there is no more tipping, sinking or jumping in the lake. After the kayaks I went to the pool. I got to help this kid who is in a wheel chair learn how to swim with one leg. He has two, but can only move one. That was so rewarding to see his face light up as he learned how to actually swim across part of the pool. My third session was cancelled because nobody showed up. I headed to my room to take a nap before lunch time. After lunch I went back to the pool. Boy was it hot out! For fourth session, a camper wanted to interview me for the camp newspaper. Dinner came and went, as usual. Fifteen minutes into our pool dimension tonight it started to thunder again. We took the kids to the media center and played games for the second night in a row. I had office duty for the rest of the night, where I currently am now. The lightening and thundering is so bad! I'm afraid my car has a tree on top of it after yesterday and today!
