We have no idea what is about to happen. All that we know is that we are now 'camp counselors'. Mr. Jon is counselor to 7th - 10th graders and I am counselor to 4th-6th graders. Although we are rookies at this, the other counselors include us in their email cc's. I wish they wouldn't. They're scaring me. To get little glimpses of camp life ahead of time is far worse than blind ignorance. Apparently I have to worry about bed-wetting and holding towels up so girls can shower privately, food allergies and keeping cliques from forming. Wha? I am supposed to provide constant entertainment in case of rain (yup, you guessed it, rain and storms in the forecast) and be a source of 'the joy of the lord and inspiration' to my fellow campers.
They better have coffee. Good coffee.
I am confident that once camp begins, I will throw myself in wholeheartedly and have a whopping good time, chock full of memories. I am sure I will cry like a baby when it's over and hug the kids when they leave with snot running down my face.
I do feel better knowing there is a nurse on staff. After all, the price boys are going. Just because they're with their father does Not make them safer.

I ran screaming when they asked me to be a counselor! My kids don't get into the whole camp thing so I had an out. Have fun!!
Kelly,
The funny thing is that I was never 'asked' by the people that run the camp. I don't know how I should take that! My so called 'friends' (ahem) roped me into this!!
No, really, we are looking forward to it. Sort of. Kind of.
Repeat after me: it's going to be great, it's going to be great, it's....
It's going to be great! :)
The Dennis listed above is my hubs, but it was me commenting...Didn't realize he was still signed onto his gmail account!
H.
it could possibly suck. but i'm bringing brutopia COFFEE and my programmable coffee pot. meet me in the bathroom (probably where the only plugs are) around 7 (when elias wakes up!:)). nobody told ME about bedwetting. what the ?????
Was that a shameless plug for brutopia? 7? You mean we have to get up at 7:00???? This is why I don't have babies anymore ~ I am getting sleep for the first time in 13 years!
The kids have to wake up at 7am? What kind of monsters are running this torture camp? Maybe just you have to wake up at 7am.
