Week 6 of Camp!

Alright this week is a split week, meaning that they are younger campers who only stay for half the week so I can check my email on Wednesday!! Also, it is Counselor In Training week, so I have a high schooler with me at all times!! This last week was staff retreat. We went to a Whitecaps game (minor league baseball for those of you who don't know, I didn't) They won in case you were wondering. Yeah only 3 and a half weeks left. It is so weird though. HALF WAY through the summer. I do love Lake Michigan though and I sure am going to miss that. AND it is almost August crazy!! Last week I got the chance to swtich and do Day Camp for a week. I loved it. My kids were great and was a good refresher to get out of the same routine of every week. At nights then I went over to the Pines side (which is the middle-school age) and I ate and sang with them, then read a story to them for bed. Not going to lie it was kinda weird because that is my sister's age and I don't know if I would read her stories before going to bed BUT I tried to pick the most boring one so they would fall asleep!! AND it worked. I am so good! haha.

Happy 4th of July

So we just finished Rainbow week here. It is a week where kids from backgrounds that would not normally let them go to camp (let alone a Christian camp) get to come for free. It was super tiring and COLD!! We had pool parties every day. So in the morning we jump into Lake Michigan, then in the afternoon we have optional swim time which I happened to be there for every time, and then at night we had pool parties. So we froze at least three times a day. It was exhausting. I was lucky enough to have a good group of girls. I never had any break outs or anything. It was pretty good.
