Having only 3 hours to sleep due to camp sleep over, which went not without accidents (one kid got burned with blazing piece of marsh mellow, another got hit with a ball during mat ball) the camp was crazy today: I was on my feet, constantly doing something. I started by helping one of specialists (Kim) with mixing paint for tie-dying, then finished a "recyclable" boat for Regatta in the afternoon. We won "Best to look like a boat".
Next week i am doing OJE for one of the activities (Quest). This should be interesting, as i have a book and various materials to make an activity fun. In my mind i have catapult building or egg drop crate building. Then again, I will talk to my director and specialist for ideas and suggestions. My week of running sports activity was a success, not only campers but counselors enjoyed the games. I can only hope that people will enjoy whatever the activity i can come up with for Quest :)
It is fun to have something different to do every day. I am not just a counselor, but a floater, going from place to place, fulfilling niches that benefit my presence. I grow from all experiences and am glad.
Evening:
Several people gathered at Art's house and we hung out until 3am. I didn't expect to see people or stay that long but it was a fun company.
