Camp Counselor Problems

Budgeting
What people think shopping for camp is like
What it's actually like
When someone tells me we can't afford something
When people try to over charge me
When we finally have it all

Plotting
Plotting against the campers
When my plotting is interrupted
When I suspect the campers are making evil plans
Not so sneaky campers
When I suspect movement in the house at night
How the campers react when I catch them
When they tell me "what they were doing"

Evals 2
When I got my unit leader evals
Now that I've read them
How I feel about most of the comments
Proud of myself for not panicking
How I feel about my camp family
Running Camp
How we hope to run camp vs how it all works out
How we think it went
Realizing the chaos is better than anything we could have planned
When people say it could have gone better
Am I Ready?
The first time my husband asked if I'd prepared for camp
He did not ask again...
Food
How I feel on meat ball day.
When the chef spends the night cooking bacon and the smell fills the great hall
Campers on the final night when they are given sugar galore
The counselors after a few hours of it.
The first time the director told me we would give the kids that much sugar

Mornings
Waking up a camper
Waking up a counselor
Camper Breakfast
Counselor Breakfast
Camp Wide Smack Downs
The director when the campers disrespect the counselors
The campers during the smack down
Fire Drills
The way campers handle a fire drill
How the counselors handle them
Evaluations
When my activities are listed as a fav on the evals
When I make the least fav on the evals
While I wait to read my unit leader evals
When the kids talk about how much they love camp
When they tell us we're their family
The outside world
When people tell me camp is for children
When I realize I get to create crafts and play games while most people spend their weeks in the "real world"
When someone tells us to grow up
Confiding in us
When the kids confide in us
How I feel about those that cause them pain
Realizing we can't always protect them
