Camp is drawing to a close. This means they're are great events and special things happening that you kind of don't really want to happen coz that means saying goodbye comes closer.
On Wednesday night the whole camp went over to Lanakila to have a Kickball tornament. This was loads of fun! It was organised by unit and each unit had a team colour. Crossroads was red. We did really well winning our first game then having an intense championship game which ended in a draw. The team spirit was amazing though and by the end of the night my voice was sore!
The next day something amazing happened! The art barn counsellors were let out! The art barn is one of the only departments that don't really get trips, not even to go down the road to join with Lanakila for an activity period, but on Thursday we organised an art trip to a craft fair that we all wanted to on so we paid for ourselves and closed the art barn for the day. It was great fun. The drive there was long, it was supposed to be an hour and a half drove but the directions took us to the wrong place and suddenly the travel time doubled! I didn't mind though, I got a good sleep in.
We arrived back from the art trip at 5pm and we got changed quick to go to the counsellor picnic which is when every counsellor on camp leaves for the evening and we go for a picnic together (this picnic is actually a hearty steak meal). Back at camp the kids are in charge with only 2 adults supervising! The picnic was great and a couple of counsellors wrote a funny song about a few anecdotes of the summer. Then when we get back the kids have put together a show for us which we see the next night which is a compilation of songs about the different departments at camp.
Saturday i had a tent family dinner with my campers and clubber (a clubbers is one of the oldest campers who are attached to a tent family to start learning how to be a counselor). The dinner was lots of fun, we made Mac and cheese, extra cheesy. Then for dessert we made banana boats, all over an open fire we had built (OK, Alexsis built it mostly). Then we headed over to Lanakila for a dance but I didn't dance until the final song coz there was something so much cooler happening outside! The dance was in the dining they'd taken all the tables out and had decided to use them to make am Len arena! I'm this arena there were two teams and one big inflatable ball. One team was offense and was trying to hit the other team (defence) with the ball. Simple yet brilliant!!
I can't believe this will all be over on matter of days. It feels like it's been so long that I've been here!
