So far Camp Summer has been pretty chill. There are no kids here yet, it's just training this week so I'm just making friends with some of the other counselors. I've already managed to dye my hands magenta however. Good times.
A few facts to note: I will not have constant cell phone or internet access, so I will mostly likely only be able to call/e-mail you on my days/nights off which will be Sunday and some other night yet to be determined. So, don't be offended if I take a week or so to get back to you on anything. The kids aren't supposed to see our cell phones or laptops so I will most likely not use them at all except when aforementioned. However, we are also supposed to cover all visible tattoos and midriffs and underwear are supposed to be covered by clothing at all times and that for sure doesn't happen so... We'll see what's what after the first week of camp.
Also, I have been experiencing a little bit of culture shock which is weird since I am from here. However, I realized this week that I haven't been surrounded by other kids my age who are not predominantly Mormon since high school and it's a little weird. I think I'm adjusting fairly quickly though and I've already made a few friends! One of whom is patiently sitting next to me in my car as we steal wifi from a neighbor in Hancock, NY on our first night off. He has toe shoes for mountain climbing which made him look like a ninja.
I will do my best to keep you updated on how things are going. Additionally, we are not allowed to use our cameras at camp because of liability or soemthing I'm sure, just like you can't take pictures in public schools without parent's permission. So, lame. I'm sorry. But try not to get too bored with my text-only posts for now. I'll see what I can do about making friends with the camera girls...
