if you mean real dogs then big ones - if you mean hot dogs then none cos they give me heart burn!

at a bbq hot dogs or burgers (meat or veggie varieties)?

Hot dogs - I hate both, but suffer and put cheese and hot peppers on it so I can't taste the hotdog, haha!

At camp: veggie meal option, or meat?

meat

Volleyball or Dodgeball

neither

chuck the chicken or capture the flag?

dodge ball, but not with the kids.
capture the flag because I don't know what chuck the chicken is (help?)


chicken or turkey?

Turkey

Opening Show or Opening Campfire

campfire.


all camp games or unit time later in the session.

Chuck the chicken is the reason I own a rubber chicken: http://dragon.sleepdeprived.ca/games/chicken_games/chicken_3.htm

A mixture of the two some all camp and some unit stuff.


make dream catchers with your campers or not?

Dream catchers and God's eyes are the easiest and take the most time and concentration. It's a craft cop-out but yea I do them when I have a massive headache.

Oh man Chuck the Chicken sounds like a riot! I needs me a rubber chicken.

Pick a training : Lifeguard or Archery?

Archery

I think I've played Chuck the Chicken before, but with some other object besides a rubber chicken. Essentially you could probably use a ball, though I think a random object would be more fun and hilarious!

running around games or sitting down games?

depends on what time it is...If i have little girls then I'm not going to play a running around game at 8pm but if it's older girls i'll play whatever whenever (that reminded me of the shakira song)

tripping or waterfront staff

Waterfront staff!

tattoos visible or covered up?

covered up

Theme sessions or not

Not

Would you rather be a activity staff or travel with the campers from activity to activity?

travel with campers.


Nights that are waaay to hot or nights that are waaay to cold

too cold--- cant sleep too much when its too hot

letters or care packages at camp

care packages

allow campers freedom to try whatever they want (within reason) while at camp or stick to a strick program with no camper imput?

I looove camper chosen activity time because it means I didn't have to plan it!
We don't let them run off and do whatever, they pick an activity they ALL want to do together.


You can only have one of these, and for some magical reason your body will be allergic to the other; do you pick:
Sunscreen or Bug Spray?

Sunscreen - I'll pass on the 1st degree burns and suffer the bug bites (I actually don't remember using anywhere near as much bug spray as sunscreen last time)

get tattoo / piercing at camp or after? (I passed last time cos I thought House would kill me)

I don't want any tattoo or any more piercings, but if I were to get them, I would wait until after so I didn't have to deal with it at camp, like the pain or the cleaning. It would be so easy to get a little dirt mixed in and hurt something, or not have time or energy to clean the piercings. I've never gotten a tatoo, so I don't know much about the first few days/weeks, but I do know it hurts for a few days!

I would take bug spray over sunscreen if I am at my camp now because the mosquitos love love love me, but we don't get too many days of sunscreen needing weather. Anytime from dinner on, no matter the weather that day I will get bitten if I don't wear bug spray. Not to mention, I can wear long clothes to protect me from sunburns, but mosquitos even go through my jeans and sweatshirts.

a sunny 95 degree day or a rainy 60 degree day?

rainy weather

(I would go for the sunscreen cos I dont use bug spray anyway!)


off camp trip with campers - canoeing down a river or hiking a mountain?

hiking a mountian

camp olympics-- themes or not

themes

x men - cartoons or live action films?

live action! (loved the trilogy)

Star Trek: Love or hate?

Loooooove!


This saturday I can either watch the Preakness (a big horse race) and not spend any money, OR throw down about $40+/- and meet Carrie Fisher (princess leia) and get her autograph.
Which should I pick?
