Camp 2009

Well camp is offically coming to an end in 2 days. (sigh) It was quite an eventful summer. Having a camper with lice, being sick, homesick campers, cranky staff, etc... But eventhough there were some bumps in the road I still had a good time. I made new friends, got a tan, and got to be at camp. There were some significant happenings that deserve to be mentioned.

This smaller than what is was originally.

Well Like I mentioned in my last post I went to the ER. They were having such a difficult time getting blood that it was decided to do an I.V. just in case they needed something else or I was admitted into the hospital. Luckily I was able to leave later that night but without concrete answers and a gigantic bruise. Soon after I went to camp and all the campers saw the bruise on my arm and it was a big thing that week so I thought it earned a place here.

My sister and I learning how to scuba dive.

I was my sister's counselor for the week that she was at camp. Normally my sister hates going to camp because she gets bullied alot. But the exact oppisite happened! She had a fantastic time! I was so glad that she made friends and got along with the whole group! She said that I was an awesome counselor because I didn't treat her any differently than anyone else and she had a good time because of that. (I think she also liked having a familiar face around as well.)

My sandals on the flag pole.

At camp we play these games where the campers have to find the counselors and do a task to earn points. Well one of the tasks that was given was to find where I was and steal my sandals. Then another group had to string them up on the flag pole. I thought it was hilarious and had to take a picture.

Shante' and Me trying to be pirates. (Shante' succeeded.)

We had exactly one themed meal at Singing Hills. It was a shipwreak dinner. It was pretty fun. We had a conoe in the middle of the dining hall and we ate with cooking/serving utensils instead of regular silverware. It was pretty enjoyable have this much fun at a meal.

Western Week at Northwoods

Shante' and I was asked if we could help out at Northwoods for a week because they were short staffed. We both accepted immediately. (We both adore Northwoods.) When we got up there we both wanted to stay because the staff was so nice and the camp was like home. I got to lifeguard and run waterfront during some points of the week. It was awesome!!! I love Northwoods so much!!!

My tent T.P. when I got back to Singing Hills

This past week some people went around during the night and toilet papered all of the staff tents. By this time I am so greatful that camp is almost over!!!!
