So the summer has just ticked over the halfway mark and I have had an absolute blast. It is kind of sad to think that I only have a month left but I am also pretty excited for the month ahead. The relationships that I have made with all the other staff here, have meant that everyone wants to make each week the best week ever. New ideas and games are being played and it is really exciting finding out what is going to happen.
Our camp had a visit from CCUSA last week. One of their staff members from Australia and one from England came to check on all the CCUSA staff and see how everything was going. I had no problems but it was nice to be able to share my thoughts so far, and also it was nice to know that they actually are there to help you, if you do have any problems. There were some staff who had some questions about travelling after camp and claiming back some medical expenses so they got all their questions answered.
The big event of the last week was the mini olympics that were held. They were held over two nights with the younger campers on Wednesday night and the older campers the following evening. The event involved all the campers being split into countries (Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, England and USA) and then going through a circuit of events gaining points for their country. I was the team leader of Australia and it involved me exciting all my campers to sing lots of aussie songs; let me tell you there was alot of Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi! The great result of the night was that Australia was victorious! It was a really fun event but it definately took alot out of me and I am looking forward to a bit of rest and relaxation on my day off this weekend.
Got to run, got a camper's parent that needs to be called.
