Camp ReCreation

Today was another first day of camp.

Camp ReCreation is a camp of mostly adults with disabilities, although there is a camper as young as twelve. Disabilities range from sight, mobility, and mental development. They are a rowdy group with lots of character, I'm looking forward to watching them throughout the week. 

Each camper is paired up with a counselor, who gives them full attention and help 24 hours a day. Today we got to meet the other counselors and get to know some of them before the campers arrived today.

It was a hectic day in the kitchen, and we had help from three different program areas helping at one time. Lots of people coming in and out, since we started later than we usually will. But in the end we got everything done on time and it was fine, but we were a little worried at first. This week I'll work a split shift, so I'll work 8-11 and then 3-close. Since I had a cooking shift last week, I'll be doing more dishes and random prep work rather than cooking the main courses. Today's been good, but long, and I'm looking forward to falling asleep tonight. So with that, goodnight!
