Is it really over? Thats what I'm thinking after waving the last campers goodbye, after having our staff meal at Applebee's and our last night together as a staff... And after 7 weeks of being together - 24/7 - its a sombering experience watching your friends leave one by one to go home. So... Adventure camp... well first of all the kids are a lot bigger.

Ive spent the past two days on my butt... all day... learning about sexual harrassment, racism, company policy, counselling methods - the lot! It makes me never want to work with children again!
