Daily Adventures of a Sports Camp Counselor

Wow. Yes, that really just happened.
A whirlwind of hilarious kids, lost keys, puking, all-you-can-eat ice cream, late night activities, and the funniest people I have ever met!
BEST WEEK EVER.
Week one of Sports Camps done. Check mate. 
I will tell you this much. It is the most fulfilling job in the world! The phrase, "never a dull moment" definately applies here. I don't even know how to adequately describe how much fun this job is.  It is alot of work but the kind of work that makes me more HAPPY than any other!

Monday came and went...all of the kids checked in, started camps, and we ended the night with field games and of course, ice cream! The counselors turned in their headcount and all kids were accounted for.  I crawled into bed with a sign of relief and gratitude of how great the day went no matter how tired I was.  Right as I started to doze off I heard a doors in the hallway opening. I kept hearing little things for the next couple of minutes, and finally decided to get up and check it out.  One of the girls in my hall had gotten sick and had thrown up. This moment was the actual moment in which I realised how much I loved my job. Wierd moment to realise this? YES.  The kids are what we are here for!  With my hair tied back, and a little chuckle, I put the big-girl mommy pants on, and dove on in to clean up. Working with the kids is the most rewarding thing.

My counselor roomate for the week said to me last night, " I don't think you can get hired for this job unless you are weird." TRUTH. We are all just kind of weird in our own little way, which is why it is so much fun.  Wackyness is totally neccessay! I can't even wait to work all summer with these counselors.  Every one of them is a bucket full of laughs/weird :], hardworking, and really know how to really have a good time. Let the games begin.

Here we have Exhibit A of the stellar hilariousness of my fellow counselors:

It was introduced to us by Romney as "OSTRICH-ING."
Planking at a whole-nutha level. The competition has begun, to say the least.


We may or may not have worn pastel shorts on the same day! HOW RAD IS THAT!?


  Another thing that I was not lacking this week,
along with entertainment and awesome kids, was sugar. HOLY COWS. Cookies. Candy. Ice Cream. Whadaa Dream. Scary-Gotta-Be-Careful Dream. Here's to self control NEXT WEEK!
