Here I am again in Sunset Country. It is gorgeous! The weather here has been unbelievably nice. Highs around 70, lows in the 50’s. Sure beats the heat and humidity in Tennessee.
Camp has begun and we have a full house of about 75 eight to eleven-year-olds. They arrived at 10:30 and the place has been hoping ever since.
Jacklyn, Crystal and I have a wide variety of assignments as support staff. Today we have cleaned the staff bathrooms, and I do mean CLEANED the staff bathrooms. You should have seen the list that we had to do. We have to do that again on Wednesday and Friday.
We all have assignments in the kitchen too. These chores include setting tables, drying dishes, serving food and putting things away after the meals. Crystal also has to make gallons of koolaid and lemonade for meals, and she has to sweep and mop the kitchen in the middle of the day. She has been a busy girl.
Jacklyn has been assigned to run a lot of the games. She is doing great and enjoying that.
Our biggest challenge is in the afternoon. All the campers cannot swim at one time and so we have to entertain about 50 kids for almost 2 hours. It is going to require a lot of creativity on our part. I hope it goes smoother tomorrow than it did today.
Their favorite game is Canadian Beaver. It is extremely rough but they love it.
It has been quite a day and I’m glad it is done. Tomorrow holds some new chores and new responsibilities. We’ll see.
