harry potter or twilight all camp?

Neither... there is always going to be a handful of campers who either don't like the books, or who haven't read them. Or even some whose parents haven't allowed them to.

Camp fire songs OR camp fire skits?

- Teenster

Songs!

I love camp fire songs



unit camp fire or all camp camp fire?

Unit camp fire more personal

smores or banana boats

S'mores with caramel digestives rather than graham crackers

take a cuddly toy to camp or not?

Do - if not for yourself, to show others that you're okay with having one so if they're getting teased for bringing their doll or old teddy bear or blanket then you can say that you brought yours too, of course! REALLY helps in bullying situations.

Spend a night at the nurses station with a sick/injured camper or talk to your cabin about constantly leaving someone out?

nurses station - I loved our camp nurses and it is actually a good way to get to know campers!

Snack time - get a soda or favorite candy?

Plastic one from the store - I have a ton of reusable ones, but I also have a very forgetful mind.

walk or ride a bike?

ride bike

mountain or ocean?

walk if hilly or bike if fairly flat

take campers on a bike trip or a camping trip or to an amusement park?

c-dog - MOUNTAIN for sure! I love hiking and skiing and rock climbing.. hands down for that one!

Smudge - camping trip! amusement park takes too much away from the camp atmosphere

go early to camp or stay late? (pre-camp vs. post camp)

Cant I do both! I always go early and stay late! 08 I was on camp for a total of 13 weeks

you get to camp and you discover you have forgotten something vitally important - would you rather it was your sleeping bag or your sheets and pillow cases?

Sheets and pillow cases. I've forgotten my sleeping bag at home before, and I HATE using one borrowed from the health centre. But someone always has an extra pillow case and I'll survive without a sheet.

Basic breakfast like cereal, yogurt and fruit, or big breakfast with eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc?

at camp big breakfast

camp hoody - with STAFF in bigger letters across the back or not?

With STAFF in big letters on the back.

sore throat - halls or vitamin C drop?

Your campers have rest hour/me time/whatever you call it - do you spend the hour - resting, reading, crafting or writing letters?

usually write a letter real quick then grab a bit of shut eye

prefer camp uniform or no?

no - I can see the advantages of it though!

its the middle of winter and you need a project to remind you of the lovely summer you had at camp - do you start a scrapbook OR a camp themed quilt?

Scrapbook - I'm a photographer so that one was easy.

Rather use a counselor-brain-in-a-BOX or BOOK?

Mine is half way between the two - or it was until I lost it - index cards in a small binder!

make your own smoothie or buy one ready made?

make your own! way more fun!

and this is a this, that, or THAT question (three way)

vanilla, chocolate, or neopoleton ice cream?

neopoletan!

making smoothies with the kids - they have already choosen the fruits they want:

Do you then mix them altogether in one big smoother and then serve OR let them each make their own - one at a time?

mix them altogether - maybe make two lots with the fav fruit it.
My co let 16 girls make individual smoothies half of witch were the same. not a fun experience
