Fun with Water, I Love Jet Skiing

I can't believe it but the second last week of camp has just finished. Once again so many new and exciting things have happened but the sad news is that it is now only 7 days till the summer camp part of my summer is over. On a positive note there is alot of talk about; what everyone is doing once camp finishes! It looks like a trip down to Miami and then across the border to Mexico is taking shape for me and a few other of my camp friends.

Well week 8 involved alot of water for myself, having obtain my Pennsylvania jet ski licence a few weeks ago. I was finally given the opportunity to use it and I had many a session as a Jet ski instructor this week with all the campers. It is alot of fun, whizzing around the lake, however, there are many nerve racking experiences when I felt that I was about to get thrown off the back into the water by a kid. The good news is that it was never the case.

I was back in a cabin with campers this week. It was tropical week, so alot of our camp activities were centred around the waterfront. It took me a little bit to get back into the swing of things after my soccer week. I had to get my campers excited for events, but once we got the cabin together in organising our synchronised swim, it was all hands on deck. Well I must say that 12 year old boys come up with some great ideas and although we didn't win the event there were alot of funny moments in the preparation of our routine.

So my final week is just about upon me, and I can safely say that the summer has gone too quick. I am really excited for this week as I want to do everything I haven't had the chance to do yet but I am also a little sad as I know that it is all about to end.

Still travelling plans are also keeping me entertained, who would have thought that I would be thinking about travelling with an American and Englishman around the U.S. just 9 weeks ago.
