ACA Home Forums Cedarledge, anyone?

Brooke really is a great lady. Most of the time I feel like our interviews are just interesting conversations lol.
Glad you will be joining us, Munchy! I can't wait to meet yoooooou!

Yeah, I get nervous during interviews too. Brooke was very nice to talk to, made me feel really comfortable.

Just a query about something I found on the Cedarledge site. On the 'What to bring' page, what's an 'A-shirt'??

They're also called "wife beaters." It's one of those really thin white tank-top-type undershirts with ribbed cloth and thinner shoulder straps. They've been a favorite in the past, but in recent years they've been phased out of the camp dress code for decency reasons.

I thought they were still ok as long as you wear a bra that doesn't show through?

Ah. I don't wear anything like that anyway,so I'm safe :P

I don't even know, I feel like it changed a lot, and then I was gone last year, so I couldn't keep up with the dress code trends... I just wear T-shirts, so I'm fine too!

By the way ACA Midstates was SO much fun!! I went to a lot of really interesting sessions, got some handouts, took some good notes, and came home with some useful ideas. Oh, and got a free bug zapping racket!

Yay that is awesome - glad you had a good time

I'm going to Cedarledge today, to paint the office and play around!

JEALOUS!

me too! Heck, I'd be happy going to Cedarledge to hang for a day, despite the fact that it holds no emotional or familiar connection to me!! Well, unless you guys were there. Then I would know people, but still you know what I mean!

Me too - to hang out at any camp is better than at no camp

We had a blast! The office is painted, and we got to do some exploring and preparation for precamp while we were out there.

I referred another new staff member over here!

...But really, that's just another excuse to bump this up to the top again.

Hehe - so where is this newbie from and oooooh what kind of scarey stories can we tell her??????????????? *wanders off plotting*

Oh Smudge, it's not like we have any scary Cedarledge stories, except how crazy these guys are

But yay!

I think I may have recruited a day camper for my camp in my friend's daughter!!! Although a lot of factors could easily put that to a stop. hmm, we'll see.

You know, I'm not sure where she's from! She might not even be international, Brooke just keeps giving me e-mail addresses.

hehe - I know I dont have any cedarledge stories

Yay for a new camper for your camp!

Turns out she's from Perth! Now I know.

Also, my brother's girlfriend (who does a lot of troop camping) has applied to work at Cedarledge. She just had her interview the other day, so it might take a while before she hears anything.

Now do you mean Perth Scotland or Perth Australia?

Perth Australia.

Cool! By the end of the summer you will have an Aussie accent

I love trying to pick up accents... And I think it's hilarious when the internationals pick up American accents! They're usually way overdone, but it's so funny.

I dont accents - dispite long periods living in places with really strong accents all I have is a kind of generic british accent! I tend to pick up vocabulary - for example I switch between trash, garbage and rubbish, and torch and flashlight!

One summer I lived with a group of British/Aussie counselors and staff. Since I was the only American in the group, I picked up some words and phrases like, torch and rubbish. Sometimes I still say some of those things either at camp or even in my classroom.
