For those of us who had work on Fridays, here's what we got paid for...
Period 1: Usual Friday Activities -- I played a form of dodgeball called jailball with 25 campers.
Period 2 and 3: All camp pool time. I played pool home run derby with like 8 counselors, wrestled with my little brothers, raced kimbo in finishing a seek and find (I was annihilated), and colored with a camper who couldn't swim because of stitches.
Then came lunch ... yeah lunch!
Afternoon: Campers began to leave waaay early because of intense heat. Because of so few numbers counselors got to leave early if they wanted. Many did.
Period 4: All camp craft!! Campers could pick one of three options. I worked on and finished a seek and find.
Period 5: All Camp video. I LOVE THE INCREDIBLES! Even if my butt did fall asleep and i just wanted a nap.
Campers then played games and slowly left as their check out times came like normal. Ann and Sophie refused to playh Marco Polo over the radio, but did radio in two names: Ben Dover and Mike Hunt to mess with us in the office. It worked well. Keystaffers Kate and Krista didn't realize they were fake names at first and began to look them up ... and counselor Heather actually announced Mike Hunt (she knew what she was saying and she clearly pronounced both names to avoid how it COULD sound) over the speakers...
And thats what I got paid for. It was awesome, it was fun, it wasn't that hot ... although it was my least favorite day of the week. I miss staying in tribes and pods and most of all it's not the same without the other first years around!
