What a day Friday was. We got back from our 24 hour day off at lunchtime and in the afternoon we had to go through all the kids trunks, sort through their things and re-pack them. We also had to get ready for the farewell banquet which had a children’s book theme. So the main dining hall was decorated as books like Charlotte’s Web, The Hungry Caterpillar, Alice in Wonderland etc. It was a pretty hectic afternoon painting, decorating and getting ready for the night.
After dinner we had the play that I had been working on in Drama (with 3 staff members in the cast as it’s so hard to get the boys to come to Drama) and the song performance that we had been doing as well. One of my campers and I (it was mostly him) re wrote the words to All Star by Smash Mouth to make it about camp and called it All Camp. Some of the older kids also did a skit that one of my boys had written. It all went okay but I have absolutely no idea what to do for the next session of Drama or how to try and get the boys there. They’re just not generally into it and there is other stuff they would rather be doing.
After that we had award for the kids from each department.
It’s hard to give awards when you hardly get anyone to your activity.
It was okay for Arts and Crafts but Drama was a struggle. Lucky I had managed to get most of the kids in my cabin to come to Drama so both of my awards went to two of my boys.
