1. Showering isn't important, every few days is plenty. Swimming in the lake counts as a shower. And shaving? Please, hairy legs is totally camp chic. In fact you can gain some respect by going a good amount without showering. The record at camp is a girl who went the entire summer (7 weeks) without showering! She did go swimming most days though.
2. Snacks will improve any event. Rolls do not count as snacks, but if you are disappointed so severely one week the next it will be made up with pizza! Also snacks should really be spelt with an x on the end.
3. Camp counsellors are the best at creating organised mayhem. The kids may think it's anarchy camp but actually it's incredibly organised and controlled deviations from the every day schedule.
4. Rest hour is the most important time of day. Do not mess with my rest hour!
5. Its OK to sing out of tune about anything you choose in the dining hall...Or in the Hale. Or in the unit. Or anywhere really.
6. Mosquitos WILL find the most inconvenient place to bite you.
7. Flashlights are one of the most important pieces of equipment! Walking up the hill in pitch black at 1am with no light is hard as well as terrifying!
8. Avoid rolling down your tent flaps at all costs. Keep your bed dry by moving it to the middle of the tent, lying a poncho over it or hanging towels from the sides of your tent. They are all much easier and require significantly less effort then rolling up tent flaps the next morning!
9. It doesn't matter a smidge what you're wearing at any given time. Whether that's silly face paint, pyjamas at all staff meetings or even a towel at an evening jinx meeting! However I did just go into town to pick up a take out in cow print pyjamas bottoms and its not quite widely accepted outside of camp..
