Favorite Activity: Mine has to be the dance at the end of the week. Everyone alwasy has a good time with their friends.

At Camp: 01, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10
Favorite Meal: Oh Lordy! Camp food is heavenly when compared to the college campus food...but I guess I would have to say the chicken cacciatore or the breakfast muffin things. Yumm-o
Favorite Experience: I am a counselor and lovin it! Its also pretty amazing to think that this year one of my first campers when I joined the staff will now be joining as a JC. I find also that I have been able to make a lot of friends and connections throughout my years here. Nonnies who don\'t go to camp just don\'t understand the correlation between my intake of diet coke and my life! But seriously, I have been able to use these friends when no one else understands...tear! I guess what sticks in my head the most is how my mother reacted to Never on my very first day to camp. Nev was so happy and excited that my mom has never ever forgotten who she was. It cracks me up!
Favorite Song: Oh everyone likes the squirrly song! Shake those bushy tails! and there is waddle-atcha and tater tot and and...I just don\'t think there is a bad camp song!!!
Favorite Activity: I love crafts...some of those campers are very creative!! Oh, and cream the counselor because it is so much fun to see a little guy smash a whipped cream pie in another\'s face! To sum it up, Camp is my favorite activity!!
Camp Helped You: It might be easier to say how camp hasn\'t helped me, the list is so much shorter. Camp is always in the back of my mind. Whenever I am having a tough time managing my diabetes, I think about what they would tell me to do at camp. It was at camp that I first tried an insulin pump (with saline) and once I got my own they were the ones that helped me try new sites. I even got to stick one in a nonnie (thanks Juju!). Then there are just some amazing people I have met and they have taught me and influenced me so much!! Camp is second home and I <3 it!! |
