Saturday and Sunday we had our normal scheduled classes, Monday was our day off we got a van and went to Albany not Albany on the North Shore, Albany in the USA. We went to a mall and hung out as the weather wasn’t the greatest.
Tuesday was our last day of normal classes, which was good we played games and gave the kids free swim for most of the period.
Wednesday morning I woke up at 3am to someone dropping some letters in our doorway, we all knew it was colour wars the next day so I knew it had something to do with that, when I woke up I gave all the girls their letters and we opened them they were from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry telling us we had been accepted to the school with the term beginning on the 20th of July. Everyone was very very excited even more so when the Harry Potter music played over the loud speaker around the camp, we then headed up to the dining hall where there was a giant sorting hat on the front porch, all of the campers then got called up in groups to determine what house they were in. Then lastly the councillors got called up and we headed into the dining hall which had been set up like Hogwarts, I got put into Gryffindor house we had our red capes waiting for us at our tables.
Our captains were then announced the Gryffindor captains were Anna and Jaime, we then headed back to bunk to get changed into our house colours mine were red and yellow, two of the colours I don’t really own, we then went to our house meeting points and worked on some chants and songs and things like that.
Then we split up into groups lower camp girls etc and went to the activities for the day, we did this all day, like volleyball, quiddich , dobby sock hunt, protect your pin, puzzle, chess and all sorts of things.
The next day was much the same, we had a tri wizard tournament in the morning with a relay race at the pool and lake which I had to lifeguard for then other activities in the afternoon, we then spent the rest of the time working on our fight song and finishing the banner, we also had to set the dining hall for dinner that night. After dinner we performed our fight songs in front of everyone and presented our banners and skits. Then the winners were announced, Hufflepuff won but everyone had an amazing two days, they were the freaking hottest two day we’ve had at camp it was rather disgusting actually, after all the kids went to bed, we went down to the pub for a much needed drink and to celebrate Tanya’s birthday!
Friday morning we had a sleep late and breakfast in bed was a pity it was soo sooo hot and we couldn’t actually sleep in. Then we got breakfast delivered to our bunks, then it was time to start packing all the girls up, luckily I didn’t have to help as the bunks were stinking hot, I had to lifeguard instead so the kids that were staying could go swimming. After all the kids were packed up we had a bit of a rest hour or two then we got ready for banquet, all the girl counsellors dressed up as hippies and the boys were dressed in Togas. After the dinner we went back to bunk and got dressed for club Emerson underage club pretty much, was so much fun dancing and the rock bands played, my girls bed time was pushed out till 12am, they didn’t actually get to sleep till about 1.30am and I’m pretty such Ildi and I were asleep before them.
Saturday was sad, we got up and had breakfast then went back to bunk to get all the girls backpacks as their luggage had already been collected and everyone met on the basketball courts and It was a crying session for about an hour while the buses left then my last girl went home by car. It was so weird I didn’t have any kids to look after I didn’t really know what to do with myself. I then moved bunks back into C bunk which is where I started during orientation. Then headed to the pool to lifeguard for the rest of the afternoon, then we all went out for dinner with the kids.
Sunday I got on a bus at 6.15am to White plains to collect some kids, pretty cruisy morning when we got back to camp I had to find the rest of my new little daises. Super super cute they are 7, 8 and 9 years old. We did swim tests and tours for the rest of the afternoon, then it was time for dinner.
Monday we had normal classes but the afternoon got rained out, same scenario Tuesday normal schedule but there was a huge huge storm that hit at like 2.30pm we had to get all the kids up from the pool to the dining hall then it started hailing and the power was surging few freak outs but was fun. So we spent the rest of the afternoon in the dining hall. Wednesday was day off we just went to a mall and to the movies just chilled out then came back to camp.
Thursday we finally had a full day of classes, our evening activity was campfire and overnight four of my five girls wanted to sleep up in the hill so I had to sleep out as well, had more smores which were yum, sleeping in the tent not so much we didn’t have any mattresses or anything we were just sleeping on the tent floor, then we woke up at about 6.30am and got ready to head back down to the bunks, and thank goodness it was a sleep late I jumped back in bed and slept till 9am then we were brought breakfast in bed. Today we are going to see the smurf movie yay super excited.
Saturday normal classes again!That’s all for now can’t believe camp is nearly over its so weird!!!!!
