FIRST DAY OF CAMP!

FIRST DAY OF CAMP!

Yes, today was officially the first day of camp! The buses full of campers rolled in about 2:30 this afternoon and it hasn’t slowed down since. I got to cook dinner for the group tonight, and survived, so I’d call that a success. Similar to Sky Lodge, the first day of camp is shirt day at camp, and this year the staff T-shirts are my favorite color: red. And this weekend we got our lanyards with our keys, sunscreen lip balm, and CPR mask. So, we are all official. This first week I have the third shift on our rotating schedule, so I don’t officially start work until eleven o’clock. But we still have to be up at eight each morning to help lead songs at the flag pole, so I’ll still have to

get up semi-early.

Today work was pretty typical as far as the kitchen goes. As I said before, I made dinner, and we prepped more food for tomorrow. Fortunately for us, we have a really good and hard working team, so we got done early this afternoon and weren’t stressed out the entire time. I’m looking forward to working with my team this summer, we all get along so far and I’m excited to see how our friendships continue to grow.

One of the biggest differences between working on staff at Sky Lodge and working on staff at Camp Ronald, is that at Camp Ronald we have staff meetings every night, whereas the Sky Lodge staff meetings are only once a week. It will be interesting to see if we get sick of staff meetings as the summer goes on, but so far everyone seems to enjoy them. It’s a time for us to each go around and describe how our day was, what happened, and what we have to look forward to tomorrow. So with that, I’ll see you tomorrow!

Dressed in our staff shirts, and ready to GO!!!
