So I started a new job this last week at a summer camp and all we did was training. I am pooped! I met some really amazing people, got a camp name and bared my soul to these people and they did the same. I cant believe that after only five days with them I consider them not only friends, but family.
Some of the things we did included learning intense camp songs and mind games; the mind games really threw me off when everybody seemed to figure them out except me. We as the staff went swimming which was really fun. One of the most important things we did though was work on safety procedures. We did a mock search for a missing camper and went though CPR training. We also learned how to teach archery which was cool and fun fact I shoot lefty with a bow. Thursday we did an overnight across the lake, built fires, and checked in for the summer; honestly checking in was probably the best part of the week as well as the most emotional.
Monday we get the first campers and I couldn't be more excited to help camp let these kids really be kids.
