I was at River Ranch last summer but this summer I'm going to a Camp Fire camp in Idaho. That's so cool that you've been there!! Oh have you seen Lake Langlois...!

still 40 days

I worked at robbinswold one summer and did my small craft training at river ranch... I loved the covered wagon unit

oh ok, that makes sense. I've never been to Robbinswold or St. Albans. The covered wagons are pretty awesome. Not sure if you saw Wagon's End or Wagon's West but I suppose it doesn't matter since the wagons are still pretty awesome!

Everyone cross your fingers - my appointment to find out how my foot is healing is in about 5 hours, and what the doc says will definitely affect when I can leave for camp and how long it will take to get there.

Hope you apt went OK ooomp loompa

Fingers crossed for you, hope the dr. appt. goes well.

On a camp note, 24 days to go!!!

31 days.

I hope it went well, Oompa Loompa!


39!!!!! less than 40!!! woot woot!!!

also, 36 until I'm done with school which will be fun because the last week the kids will be CRAZY!!! and we get to do all sorts of fun things like clean off desks with shaving cream and bring me back to the days that I used to do that as a student!

And 16 until my cousin comes!!

And 10 until I go to camp for the camp clean up!

I hope it went well Oompa Loompa!

73 days until my back up camp-- it seems so far away-- why does my camp have to be near the end of July?

where is your camp at marty???that seems late

its a camp for adults with physcial diabilities-- Association of Horizon-- they only do 1 week of camp. they rent a camp and sometimes dont always get a prime choice of weeks

ahh okay...

thats cool that you do that... my husband and I have both had jobs working in that field.. very rewarding..

The camp is in Hudson, IL at Timber Pointe in Hudson IL near Bloomington

I have 3 weeks until I go to camp!Im going back home to visit family and am going to volunteer at the camp I worked at the past two summers the week I am there. I am so excited!!!!!

Congrats!

I am glad they wanted me back for the whole week.

I am happy for you

That's really awesome Mickey!! I've never done a volunteer camp or even a one week camp (except for a couple summers as a camper) so that would be a whole new ballgame, but I do have experience working with people, primarily kids, with disabilities and I love it. I'm an elementary and special education major so in the fall I will be doing my special ed student teaching. At camp I worked in the unit that the campers with special needs were part of and I was a counselor for them for a week. I love those kids. I'm excited because even though I didn't accept the position that was primarily with kids with special needs I may have an opportunity to help with that at the camp I accepted and maybe even lead some of the training or something.

Got decent news from the doctor. Healing well, but not as fast as expected - probably because one of my medications. I'm out of the boot and in a post-surgical shoe splint now. I still have to go back to the boot if I start having pain - I expect that I will have to go back to the boot partway through the day for at least the next week or so.

I go back for a recheck on the 30th, and hopefully will be cleared then. If not, they'll help me find a doc that I can follow up with near camp if I have problems. Probably going to need to see if I can find a place for PT near camp as well.

Glad to hear you're doing healing well Oompa. Hope it continues to go well and you'll be cleared on the 30th. Fingers crossed for you.
