Today our second session campers arrived! We have about 22 boys that have stayed on from the first session and something like 70 new kids. We are packed to the rafters (that’d be a good name for a t.v. show). In cabin 1 are full with 9 campers and a new staff member. Monica has moved up to the hill to work with the older kids and Karen who is from Ireland (but is marrying Trevor so lives here now) has moved in.
I was a “greeter” today which consisted of welcoming each family as they drove in and directing them on the signing in process.
In the arvo we had activities.
No-one came to drama.
Surprise, surprise.
I actually think activities would be better to start on Monday and that Sunday afternoon would be a great time for the kids to settle in and the cabins to spend time getting to know each other and organise their skits (see photos).
But I also get that they want to introduce the kids to activities on Sunday to give them an idea of what they can do and then they can really get into it on Monday.
We had to do getting to know you skits again just before dinner. Yay.
And Sunday means cabin cookout. Double yay.
I know, I know. The kids love it and it’s all about the kids. It’s just one of those things that is never going to be at the top of my list of fun things to do at camp.
