Program starts tomorrow!!! I can't believe it's already here! I am so excited to have campers around and to actually get to run the program that we have been preparing for the last three weeks. I have loved getting to know our summer family but I am ready for some campers.
This last week was kinda crazy with lifeguard classes, CPR, First Aid... We did some surf training on Thursday and let's just say, there is probably a very good reason I have never surfed before... The ocean scares me! I don't like the waves and the cold and the salt... gross... I tried it out for a bit but kept freaking out. Maybe another time and another place. We finished up our opener and skits Thursday night (earlier than previous years which makes me feel pretty confident in our staff). We are doing a STOMP routine for the opener which is super fun and I hope it goes well tomorrow... Next week I will be a team lead for the Green Fenders which basically means I (with the help of other staff members on my team; Jay, Lauren, and Derek) am in charge of around 50ish students and counselors. We will lead them in cheers, games, and solo time debriefs. I will also be driving the surf vehicles on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (the kids can sign up for surf classes and the staff members who are 21 and older and trained on vehicles, drive them back and forth from Mondos beach...). I will also be working some recreation throughout the week and helping Murphy with A/V stuff (sound, lights, PPT) for our evening gatherings and Camp's Got Talent.
As far as the title of this entry goes, one of our games we will be playing this week is called Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb. It involves two sets of three campers in two very large TShirts filled with McDonalds balls and Water Balloons running to the end of the field and back... We had to practice all of our competitions and this one was probably my favorite! We also have Kick N Slide, Octopuzzle, and Surf O War... So Fun! Time for Program! Please keep myself and the rest of our staff in your prayers as we start Program tomorrow. Also please pray for the churches and campers that will be joining us this summer. There are a few weeks of camp with very low number so please pray that camp will fill. If you know of any youth groups who are looking for a camp send them our way. We would love to have some campers!
