Ok, let’s talk about some of my camp highlights. Since food is always a highlight for me let’s get that over with as I tell you quickly about the  grilled hummus and tomato sandwiches (which I really should start making at home!), the couscous with lentil stew and pesto sauce, the constant supply of Nature Valley bars, and the Paul Newman vanilla almond cereal with rice flakes. Ok, that's all I'm going to say for now about the awesome food here. We’ve got it good here at camp.

Ok, let's talk about the barn now. Children, horses, cute fuzzy little animals and a great, fun and quirky barn team- what else can a girl ask for (besides maybe some dark chocolate)? It’s a sweet job, and it’s hard to imagine coming to camp and not working in the barn. I love the animals, and I’m becoming more and more convinced that I need to have my very own pet bunny someday, and keep volunteering with animals.

And of course, a big highlight is working with a diverse and fun mix of people in the Bear Cabin to take care of and make camp happen each week for 15-16 year old girls. It can definitely be challenging. That is not an easy age. I’m sure anyone who has once been a teenage girl or who has just been around one would agree. Some of the girls love camp with a passion and look forward to singing their favourite camp cheers that they've been singing ever since they were 6-years old. Some girls feel a little bit uneasy and overwhelmed in the camp environment especially if they're new to it all. No matter what the situation of the camper is, we try to meet her where she's at to try and give her the best week possible. Adaptability and flexibility is really important here.

So Session 6 starts tomorrow as a new group of kids arrive. The summer is starting to go by really fast, as we have less than a month left! Coming up this month we also have our staff party, and I'm going to be going on a hospital outreach in a couple of weeks.
