Jul 16 - 24

The session during this duration is the most challenging one I have so far. Adventure Sports had 11 campers and I had 6 highly energetic campers in my patrol. I loved these bunch of campers dearly. All 6 of them are so unique in their charateristics and personality. They are utterly bubblelicious and full of imagination. On the first day, I taught them a game called Dead Mosquito (something learnt from AIESEC days) and they in turn taught me Dead Bugs.

For a few days, I was supposed to call them the 'Super Heroes' Patrol. They rehearsed a routine as part of end of day flags and they each were a Super Hero character - their ultimate duty was to save the Flag! I had 'Super Stripes' with her stripey beach towel as the cape, 'Super Pudding' - the one with extra super powers if she eats any pudding especially chocolate ones, and etc...

Also, because of their hyperness....they injure themselves quite often. I have been using a lot of stuffs from the First Aid Kit as well as plenty of visits to the Health Lodge. I catch up with Ace and Puppy very often there on these visits. No kidding, tending to injuries takes up almost 15 - 30 mins on a daily basis.

4 days later, they became spa specialists - turning one of their tents into a SPA centre with massage, foot reflexology , hair styling and other pampering services that was offered. Extremely creative. Eva (a Polish staff) had the opportunity to receive the first spa treatment from the group while Gizmo (upon her return from Discover Lake George program) got a birthday surprise from them too.

The Adv. Sports program is absolutely exciting. Both Atlas and myself enjoyed ourselves with the campers as they went through activities such as Canoeing, Kayaking, low ropes course, rock climbing as well as the 5hrs, 8 mins and 4 secs hike to and fro Buck Mt. The view up at the summit is absolutely breathtaking and we had a lovely lunch up there and met 'Lucky' the dog too who was up climbing with his owners.

After this session, 10 of us prepared to travel out of camp for our 3 days break to Philadelphia!

I will return to camp for the Footlights session next -it's a program where we conduct drama, stage and acting courses with the campers. I'm looking forward to it!
