-Even if you know who is following you while driving, it still makes you paranoid.
-There is such thing as a speed limit of 7 1/2 mph down the Trail Master.
-Golf carts are a luxury and makes getting from the office to HR2 (cabin) a lot faster than carrying over-night bags like we have to as campers.
-When you are hungry, you will eat anything that is put in front of you. (That's coming from a picky eater!)
-Frisbee throwing is always fun.
-Crayola Paint does not come off very easy in water fountains.
-Turning your cell on silent is really relaxing, and should be done more often.
-Hypoglycemia is hard to explain to people who don't know what it is.
-Camp beds are not the most comfortable things on the planet. Extra padding will definitely be brought for work crew
-Cabins can go from freezing to extremely hot within hours. At midnight you can be freezing and huddling under the covers, at 3 AM you can be sweating through your clothes. Lesson learned: Don't pick a bed in front of the air vents. (Unless, like me, that's the only one left)
-Bottom bunks are A LOT easier to make then top bunks. Why have I always liked top?
-Shane & Shane and Needtobreathe are some of the best artists to wake up to... at 6AM. Or any time I'm guessing :)
-When drink machines (like the ones at restaurant) are out of apple juice, they just dispense water)
-Sweet Gum Praise and Worship is pretty energizing.
-Gaga Ball is totally the best camp game played ever. And should be an Olympic Sport
-Just because you could do high ropes no problem one summer, doesn't mean you won't be deathly afraid the next.
-The Rain Dance song may ward off rain at camp... but not necessarily on the drive home!
-Speed limits dropping from 70 to 50 is REALLY ANNOYING!
And that Cho-Yeh is the BEST place ever, and pretty much like a second home. Within hours I was in love with camp and the new staff that I was meeting. I can't wait to go back for 3 weeks, and I already know it's gonna be hard to leave then. But the experiences had and the relationships made are going to be so amazing and life-changing. The weekend was a total "top-of-the-rollercoaster" experience as my youth group calls it, and that was only one day.
Seeing everything from a counselor's perspective was so cool aswell. I was able to offer personal stories about how everything seems from a camper's point of view, and I thought it was really cool how even though I was 1-4 years younger than the counselors there, my opinion mattered to them, and even though I was the newbie, the work crewer, they made me feel welcomed and loved. Only at camp does that happen. Only at camp.
I could talk for hours and hours (or pages and pages of this blog) about camp and it's importance to me (ask Renee or Mary Kathryn). But, I smell like icky sweatiness so I think I'm gonna go hop in the shower. But don't worry, I'm SURE more camp blog posts will be coming soon :)
