What time is it? SUMMERTIME!

I'm sure some of you recognize the title of my post as a song from High School Musical 2. I really think it is the theme of this year's training. Our counselors were singing it constantly, I really think everyone is getting geared up for summer and camp!

Training has gone really well so far. Friday we invited our new staff in for a tour of camp and a lesson in camp lingo, you know all those special words that we use only in camp (Flushies, unit houses, Pac, Big Top, etc.) and we taught them some of the games our old staffers already know. Saturday we spent the day learning about how to get ready for the mornings, how to run a unit, how to cook on Wednesdays, and what info to pass on to campers when they arrive. Even with the storm that came through camp we were all able to get our food cooked and served to everyone. Our new counselors even took it upon themselves to entertain the girls and leaders who were in camp for the encampment. Girls, I hope you are looking forward to being with your counselors this year because I know they are going to be fabulous!

Last entry I promised some insider information on our 3 Night overnight, so here it is! I am going to actually be one of your counselors in this awesome program. As a unit we are going to decide what activities we do and when we do them. We will have the generally have the opportunity to swim more than once each day if we decide to. We will also we deciding on and cooking our meals. I don't want to give too much away, but hopefully by the end of our week together we will have left a lasting impact on camp.

Please leave us comments on the blog to let us know you are reading and to tell us what you would like to hear more about! I hope to post pictures and or video in the blog soon.

Till next time,
