Camp Week 5: Actually a really good time

This past week, was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

In fact, except for a few things, I had a really good time this week.

We did have the deaf camper, that I was talking about. I managed to communicate with him, some, but I also did have a lot of help.

First of all, my prayers were answered: Andrea, who is a master in sign language came this week to help out. Other staff, and even some campers were able to help out as well.

So, onto the fun I had. I got to sing "Baby Shark" to one camper who always bursts out dancing it it's sung. Jess and I sang it to him in the pool. Speaking of the pool, I was massacured in it again. I went to the deep end with one girl, to escape those massacuring campers. No such luck. They got other staff, and followed me.
So I was still getting dunked, drowned, etc. Nicole later told me, I enjoyed every minute of it.

Sure, Nicole! Whatever you say.

Then, on Tuesday, I went to Moraine State Park with Aaron, Mitch and some campers. We went on a hike and a picnic. Aaron told me the geological significance of Moraine State Park. The park is the southernmost point of the Ice Age glaciers. Now I know why I've seen so many rock shapes in Morain State Park, and in Camp Buccoco, north of Moraine State Park, but not at home, or anywhere south of Moraine State Park.

Cool!

Thursday we had the best damn water games ever. Mitch brought on his slip and slide, and we all went through it. Both campers and staff had a good time with that thing.
Later we went to a big dance in the Kon-o-Kwee dining hall. There was a lot of dancing, and also face-painting, and temporary tattoos, ans decorations. Stuff like that.

Another thing, some of those kid campers try to play matchmaker with us. One girl made me and Christen hold hands. Another tried to hook up me and Andrea.

Whatever...

Anyhow, I hope next week's as fun as this one was.
