Glimpse into the madness
So here are a few highlights regarding my summer camp:
*As an icebreaker, we do a game called 3 truths and a lie) pretty self explanatory- you state 4 sentences one being a lie which we have to guess which one). It is a great way to learn about people. So one of the TAs (teaching Assistants...i.e. 'adult') said I live in an underground secret lair." Oh wait- it was one of his truths. Are you kidding me? The lie was "I like orange' when in fact he doesn't. So one of the other TAs asked if he could see this underground Lair (by the way- we live in Florida....we don't even have basements!). The guy pauses. Looks at him. Then sternly says 'No.' Who does that!?!?!?
*As the game is winding down, I get to this one kid. He looks like one of the brothers from that music group called Hanson. His truths were "My grandfater is/was a NAZI. I don't like black'- oh- and he was wearing all black. No wait- it gets better, the guy sitting next to him is his roommate who happens to be a very big black guy w/ corn rows and a big chain like Mr. T. This kid replies "So your my roommate?' Schnikes! They are getting along though.
So that is just a peak at what goes on w/ a summer camp. We had a couple of room lock outs. No big deal. The Resident Assistants are superb this year. We have 5 girls (previous years were like 1 maybe 2!). Pretty cool group this year. At the end I try to put together a video montage so i have a camera attached to me at all times. I do the confessional tapings the last week.
I am hoping to find a way to get 4 free XBoxes for the upcoming summer camps.
Hopefully some of my summer camp pics will make it onto the main website.
Happy 7-11!
