Busybusy. Staff training has started and the days are really full! It feels like I have already been here forever, camp days seem to last 3 days, but I absolutely love it. I'm just really exhausted all the time since we always want to do stuff after training, so we usually go to bed at midnightish and get up at 7 am.
So the cabins. It was nothing like I was expecting. I walked into one when I arrived here and boom! It was a crappy and creepy one. There are 12 beds, bugnests, but HUGE bugs everywhere, racoons partying at nigh outside, and small shelves where to put your staff. It's super crowded now when all the national staff have arrived. A BIG minus, NO AC. We are burning up! Other minus, you can't adjust the temperature in the showers. Which means lobstershowers everyday!! :s
The food here at camp is phenomenal, but not very healthy. We usually have eggs, sausages, pancakes, muffins etc. for breakfast and somekind of a sandwhich for lunch and then dinner usually varies. But I think I have only eaten two (2) proper meals here :D I'm gonna be so fatty at the end of this summer!
In staff training we have gone over our policies and how to act in different situations etc. But also we have had the opportunity to try out different activities (including canoeing, rock climbing, horses, archery, high ropes) and learn about the safety issues. One day we built a dock at the waterfront, we have also done some teambuilding, and tomorrow we are heading out to staff trail. Mine is a canoe trail, but I can't really paddle at all, since my hand hasn't still healed, which sucks! I have a pretty good feeling about this summer, I'm really going to learn so much, and if I put myself out there I can get so much out of this!
Everyone in here is extremely nice and outgoing, so I have already made some pretty good friends! We are actually planning a group trip at the end of the summer with the internationals, sweet! It's a close community and we like to spend the nights also together. So far we have done few camp fires, which I absolutely love, gone out to restaurants or just shopping, bars, and yesterday we went to drive-in movies! It was awesome, since I've never seen one before. I liked it, it cost 8$ and we got to watch two movies. The program group is planning some weekend trips for us internationals, which I find really nice, since that's just some extrawork they are putting in, just for us. I'm really, really loving this place <3
That's all for today, I really have to go packing for the trail! I try to get more organized post someday, I'm thinking the end of the week when we actually get some days off. Also I will try to upload some pictures here! Happy trails :)
