So I realize that I was all excited about keeping a blog about my camp experience last year, but I ended up being exhausted after camp and then once my class started, any free time I had I worked on homework or slept! THIS YEAR, I want to keep a blog, just so I can remember all the crazy great camp experiences! Maybe some of the moments from this year will remind me of the hilarious and adorable-ness actions of last year.
I'll start off by saying, I was not able to go to the first training, but the first one I went to went really well. It was nice to see some of the returning staff members from last year! I was just shocked that I was the only person who ended up being moved to a different group...
Gold Otters! I'm actually excited and as always a little nervous to be with this age group. I'm not that nervous because all the girls I worked with last year are going to be in this age group! I am so excited to see how much some of the girls have grown over the past year... and then I'm nervous because how are they going to re-act to having the same counselor again? I am hoping they are glad to see me back...
It was very interesting to see the few returning counselors. If I had not met some of the people I did at camp, I probably would have been looking for a different camp environment, but they really hire some awesome people. I was glad to see the other bus counselor, she is so cool, nice, and down-to-earth. The girl that I go to college with was actually back at camp, it's great to see her walking around camp every once and a while. Then the other counselors from last year, it was nice to see them all back and see how they were over the year and that they still really enjoy the camp job. The ceramics specialist was back as well and that was nice!
More interesting than seeing returning staff was the new staff. Most just graduated high school, but there were a lot of high school juniors as well. I think my group will be pretty good, one of the other girls was a counselor before at another camp and the other counselor seems like she will get along with a group well.
