Hello everyone! So, for the first time possibly since I got here, I actually have the time to write things down properly. The only problem is, everything is so fast and hectic, and I have written at such random times, I have no idea what I have and haven't written! Firstly, thank you very much for all the lovely messages. They make me smile. So, recently we have had the first session plays. I should explain camp is split into two four week sessions, with turnov...

Hey! So, pretty busy week. I can't remember exactly where I left you but I think it was before I went camping. We took ABC camp (younger campers) to Greenbrier, a great state park with a lake. They spent the whole day in the lake, playing games! Not exactly hard work. We cooked dinner and camped overnight without any problems at all. Except they wake at 6am. We spent the whole of the next morning in the lake too! On Friday I went tubing, which was fun, althoug...

Hi everyone! I'm writing from the social hall in camp airy, where I am attempting to sit for an hour making sure kids don't run of together into the woods... I kid you not.

Hey everyone! Hope your week is going well. I'm absolutely exhausted! But having an amazing time. The last two days I've done NUTS (nights under the stars) trips with bunks of 14 of our younger campers. 2 outdoors staff take them from 1.30 and do activities, then we do a cookout over a fire (difficult yesterday, as we had rain for the first time since I arrived- used most of a bottle of lighter fluid to get the food cooked!)and then we sleep somewhere outdoors, ...

Hey everyone! So I'm on day 3 of 4, in my ropes training course. I'm so tired!! We have usually had to be on the course at about 7.30 am, and we finish at 7.30 pm only stopping half an hour at lunch and tea time. It's such hardwork. I have muscles aching that I never knew existed before! But it's such an achievement. I figured the only way to deal with being afraid, cause I do have to deal with it, is to get up and do everything. So in the past three days I've d...
