A lot to catch up on I guess. Monday experienced some real American culture during Canada Day when they said 'why do they celebrate being Canadian, I didn't think Canada was a big deal' - and she was genuinely confused! Awful lol. On Wednesday we had the 'feast' for 4th of July.. even though it was only the 3rd. Thursday we were required to wear red, white and blue for the day and in the morning we had to watch the raising of the flag. Anyway, my day off - off u...

It's been a while. Quick update - Mini week went well, both of my cabins (as we only had 2 each for mini week) placed in top three in cabin of the week! Week One went even better as Cabin 13 (Kim's cabin, also one that I am in charge of) won! So far so good. Today is the start of week 2 and it's looking good. I have a lot of returning campers from last year, who are back to help me with my Spanish again. AND I got to see Grandma and Grandad yesterday in NYC - ver...

Today we completed the staff of 2013. Me and Liam took a bus in to the city to greet the 50 remaining staff and bring them home to camp for the summer. It's already been a very long day but I am so excited that we're now all ready to go. Four days of training to follow and then on Sunday our first week of campers will be here to kick start a fantastic summer. Very exciting times. Also, a beautiful day in the Poconos!!

(The bar we spend out Saturday nights) Had a great time as usual. Sunday we were surprised to have a second day off (two days in a row has never happened at camp before). We had a nice chilled day and then a ...

We started pit fluff yesterday and have pretty much been in the gyms ever since. As you can probably see in the background photo, people were actually falling asleep during. I know I had a good 10/15 minute nap while in the pit lol. Anyway we get a day off tomorrow so we get to watch the champions league final :-D Cannot wait. Kids don't get here until June 9th, so still a fair while yet. Staff get here on June 2nd and 4th, ready for training. I'm not sure what ...
