Yesterday was amazing and completely overwhelming at the same time!
My Co-counselors are Dan (from Mass.) and Eric (from NH) Our campers arrived yesterday at about 3pm ET on a bus from NY. Our cabin is 2A and we have the oldest cabin in the camp. It is located right off the lake in the center of camp and the floor is tilted like a funhouse. We share bathrooms with cabin 2b which is attached onto the other side of our cabin. Our back porch overlooks the lake and it is an amazing view to wake up to each morning. The beds are awful, and my energy is constantly running out, but each day has been awesome and provided me with something I have never before experienced. I am so excited for each day to start and cannot wait to get more involved with my campers.
I have 10 boys, all between the ages of 7-9. Two boys are from Conn. and one is from NJ. The rest are all from NY, several from NYC. They have already picked up on my slight accent from Texas and think the fact that I say ya'll all the time is hilarious. I believe it to be the most efficient way personally. There have been waaaaaay too many piggy back rides already but we are all have a great time and those who have already cried and miss their parents are starting to adjust. This summer is going to be much more work than any of the counselors anticipated, but we are prepared and excited. More to come later!
