2nd summer

I know many of you want to know how my summer is going at Kippewa for the second time...

just kidding, Hi mom!

We are well on our way into second session. First session I was with 4th grade for my 3rd session and they were adorable as always. I had asked for a change at the beginning of the summer and after first session I still wanted a change. After saying in every single one on one that I really really didn't want to be with lower seniors I was placed with 7th grade and I'm loving it. I truely find my girls adorable and I love spending time with them. Their awkward and very middle schooly but they also make me laugh every day.

Today Rachel D and I had the campers making some very legitimate crepes. They look like restaurant crepes.  I think people need to know that.

I have fantastic cos and we have been together all summer. I know I've been lucky cause that can make or break a summer. So thanks Kyra and Jessica, I will forever be indebted to you for your support and love all summer. One day the girls came up to me and said "I can tell you all are going to be friends for a long time." and that is why I love camp.

Camp is one of those experiences that can be so different every year and every moment. I have had two great summers and I'm so happy I decided to come back. I know most people just think of the bad but it's moments like campfire and lip sync when the whole camp comes together and the girls make me so proud that make me fall in love with camp all over again. It's the quiet moments when a camper is crying and you don't care that you are sacrificing sleep for them because you adore them. It's when they come up with creative and original ideas on their own that make you proud you are a camp counselor. I am so happy I came back.
