Camp, 2.

Week one of children's camp has come to a close and three friends and I are spending the night in a small town hotel.
My cabin of girls contains six campers and a co-counselor (possibly the sweetest girl ever). It's an interesting cabin with an obsessive hula hooper, a boy crazy 12 year old, and a girl that constantly sings show tunes. It's been a hard transition from camper life (two years ago I was a camper) to counselor life. This is probably one of the harder things I've ever had to do in my life.
Okay, time for a little fun.

Camp, 1.

I've spent the last couple days at camp, sort of working now and then. We had first aid wilderness training and CPR training after getting back from a trip to a state park. The first aid training was mostly about common sense and calling for help.. both of which I already have in my repertoire.
The camping was pretty luxurious in comparison to our accommodations at camp but I did two hikes, which was much needed after being pretty lazy at camp.
Camp has been pretty low key for the most part but tomorrow 130 people will descend in order to attend family camp. I'm taking care of the 5,6, and 7 year olds with an old camp friend. It'll be nice to have the contrast of the younger children before having a cabin of older girls. The little kids are mostly boys too so it'll be pretty tiring, and rowdy but also fun.
I'm having a little trouble focusing in this small town Starbucks. It's probably because I am completely not used to any kind of electronics and it's cold and air conditioned in here. I'll post more next week.
