Camp Week 4: A Musical and a Crash Course in Sign Language
This week, except for a camper who got REALLY sick, was actually kind of fun.
First of all, my campers were generally good, but two of them wouldn't leave me alone.
So, here's why this week has the title is has. During the dance, which was moved to Tuesday, Jess and I were informed about two things. First, because of our love for music, we would be going on an upcoming field trip, to the Benedum Center, to see the musical "Pirates of the Penzance". Secondly, we were told that a deaf camper would be coming next week, and the camp directors chose us, to learn the necessary sign language to be able to communicate with him.
So, Jess and I spent much of the week studying intense sign language.
Like I said the week, itself was fun. But I was massacured in the pool. My two campers almost drowned me. One was pulling on me trying to drown me. The other was trying to save me, but he was only making it worse.
Oh, the joys of swimming with campers.
On Thursday, Jess, Nicole, and I took eight campers on a field trip to the Benedum center, to see the musical "The Pirates of Penzance". However, one of the campers was afraid of the high up seats. Nicole managed to get him a lower seat, while Jess and I remained with the remaining campers for Act One. In the lower seats though, that one camper really had a good time. He cheered, whisteled to the ladies onstage, and that kind of stuff.
During Intermission, an usher invited the rest of us to join Nicole in the lower seats. While we were moving, another usher got into an argument with Nicole and Jess, saying we couldn't do that. So we ended up sitting in our original seats, for Act Two.
Then we went to the Pizza Hut in Zelienople for dinner. While there, a camper spilled a drink. Nicole and I ran up for napkins to clean the mess up, nut Jess didn't lift a finger to help us. She claimed that that's the waitress's job to clean up messes here and not ours.
So we then went to Dairy Queen, for ice cream treats, and then, we went back to camp in time for a lot of rain. Oh well.
Now, I'm at home studying more sign language, I just, hope I'm ready for that deaf camper, when he comes. I also really wish Andrea would come back. She was the master of sign language, if I remember...
