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
