There are 7 sessions each summer at HH. Each session runs 5 full days, with the children returning home after breakfast on day 6. The staff is in one cabin for 3 sessions, then we switch to another cabin for the remaining 4. There are 10 cabins altogether and children are grouped by gender and age. The Beaver Cabin (where I am stationed) is filled with boys aged 15-16. It is the oldest male cabin at camp and is generally thought to 'rule the roost' if you will. It has been an unusually tough couple sessions with Beaver's this summer so far. Most of our kids have been extremely difficult to deal with, which is rare for this cabin.
We have a great bunch of counselors for our cabin though, and they have made the experience much more enjoyable than it might have been otherwise.
Anyways, the next session starts Saturday morning. We don't have much control over how the kids acts, but we have much control over how we act.
