Final Week

So, today begins my final week of camp.
It flew by, can't believe it.
Now, for those of you who know me
I know you're still thinking....
"How the hell can Kerry be working at
a day camp all summer???"
I know.
I hate heat.
I hate the outdoors.
I hate not wearing make-up.
I could go on.......
But I just love this place and this job.
Go figure.

Last Thursday was my favorite day.
We had the Senior Sleep Over.
All of senior camp (ages 8-12) are
invited to stay until 8pm for games,
swimming, dinner, and a slide show.
Then the 8-10 year olds go home and the
rest are invited to sleep over.
Yeah, so are the counselors.

I.
HAD.
A.
BLAST.

We had a counselor hunt - I was laying down at the bottom
of a stairwell among spider webs and who knows what else.
Was the 3rd to last to be found thank you very much.

We had a bonfire and told scary stories. Even I let out
a yelp when the "werewolf" ran by.

I led the girls on an all out pillow assault on
the unsuspecting boys.

I toilet papered my boss' car.

At 3am some girls woke me up to tell me that my
boss was "going crazy" and doing stuff to my car.
Yeah, he was getting me back....so I hid his sleeping bag.

HOW OLD AM I???????

I slept maybe 3 hours and even those were broken up.
Had to work the next day with the same kids who kept me up.

Would I do it again?

In a second.

Loved it.

Sounds like a blast! I was lucky enough to go for a weekend camp retreat weekend for 4th-6th graders the past few years and I got no sleep what so ever, but so fun!
