Campfire Skits

First week of counseling! I am super happy about it. It was fun to take pictures for a while, but its nice to just be with kids now.

I don't usually have much time to go online or anything, but we have like 20 min breaks here and there, hence this post.

I'm in a cabin with a volunteer counselor who is here for the week, its working out pretty good. We have awesome CITs and super awesome girls. They are 5th and 6th graders.. tons of energy, which isn't ALWAYS a great thing, but most of the time it is.

We have the campfire skit tonight, it is pretty cute.

TIRED

I am super super tired.

Last day or so in a nutshell:

-We went sledding yesterday IN JUNE! and to get there it was the most beautiful drive I have ever taken. Mom and Dad: We are going there when you come out.

-I learned how to ride a riding lawn mower.. but it took me a while to figure it out.

-Dishes Dishes Dishes

-Pictures Pictures Pictures

-Me and Josh have been working on a slideshow non stop.

-Everyone (staff) was pretty worn out today.

-I sleep in the staff room, because 1. its lonely without Katie (my roommate) in there and 2. it gets cold at night

-It is very dry up here, my lips are chapped, my throat hurts, etc

-Mary told me today that I was good at everything. She was just kidding but thats just an example of the great compliments she gives.

-I really like breakfast burritos.

I miss everyone from home!

CHUBBY!

One thing thats great about Sonlight is all the food they feed us. It is soooo good and tasty, and therefore I eat a lot of it, so I'm feeling very bloated at the moment.

Support staff is going okay.. I miss being with all my friends who are counselors! I only have Josh, who is the other photographer/support this week, so we are bonding... but we're sad, because we want to be with the kids on counseling staff. One of the favorite parts of my day is when the two of us get to play a game with the kids, because the counselors have their morning meeting. Last night we had a dance party with the kids, that was funnn.

Anyways today the kids are going on a day hike, and since I'm on photo I get to go too. Mary is putting pictures up online.. Mom, I'll email you the username and password.

I'm tired! 

Peace

First Day O' Camp

The campers are finally coming today! It's nice, after alll the staff training, we actually get to be with kids.

This week I don't get to be a counselor, I'm on support doing photography and other stuff this week.

Look at sonlightcamp.org .. the pictures are going to be mine.

Peace

PS

It snowed today.

Rain Rain Rain

Here at Sonlight we dry our clothes on the line to save on the electrical bill. (Whatever money is left over at the end of the summer is split into bonuses for the staff, so we all are pretty good at conserving energy.) Unfortunately the day I decide to do laundry it rained, and its still raining.. so I guess its just an extra rinse cycle.

Staff training is almost over, we are kind of just doing some last minute counselor training and chores that need to be done before campers get here.

We went backpacking a couple nights ago.. that was pretty fun. I took some pictures and hopefully I can put them up soon. I'm pretty tired though from everything that has been going on and am totally looking forward to our day off on Saturday. A few of us are going to Durango for the day to hang out outside of camp. 

Anyways I've been really lucky to meet some very awesome people here, and I'm SUPER excited for campers to get here.
