What does everyone do on their days off ?

i dont know yet.
but i wanna go and see new york and boston cause there not to far aay from me

depends on who has cars etc - sometimes we hang around camp or go for food - or go to local staffs homes - head into boston - it really just depends!

well, I usually end up going home, but I am hoping to change that this summer! However, no matter where you go, laundry, showers, and sleep are essential!

oh we have laundry service at camp

yer we have laundry at camp

nice!!! we have a really nice laundry room with like 4 washers and 4 dryers and it is free, but we have to do it ourselves! Then again, campers don;t do laundry there since it is only 1 week. This is not ot say camper laundry doesn't get done there! We definitely get the soiled sleeping bag or underwear and pjs!

At my camp, everyone has the same days off, so it is very nice. We usually go out to dinner, go to the movies, see nearby attractions (especially for the out of state and international staffers), and everything in between. But, the biggest thing is that we just relax and hang out at camp. We do tons of sleeping, swimming in the pool, showering, and just relaxing to make sure we are ready for the next week. We also sometimes go to locals houses for dinner or to see a movie.

Do not be too worried about what you will do. As a group (if that is how your TO works), you will find something wonderful to do. Additionally, you will be too tired most of the time to do anything too exhausting. Just relax and continue the friendships.

Exactly Twirl!

I guess I have never really experienced a weekend at camp since the one weekend I stayed (I was only on staff for 5 weeks last summer) was the last regular weekend so all the staff went home or to the end of summer party at a counselors place but my friend and I stayed at camp and had a sleepover in the staff house! haha It was amazing!

I am not going to deny it, but the weekends are probably my favorite part of camp. Every second I am with the kids, I am in heaven and it is perfect. Yet, the weekends are just a blast. Because there are no kids, and you can just hang out doing amazing things with your new best friends.

Pulling pranks is one of the best ways to spend TO! Also emailing or calling home!

Of course, I take the time to call my friends at home and call my parents. I really do not like calling home. Not because, I get homesick or anything- I am not close to my parents, so calling home is sometimes really werid. But regardless, I call my friends and catch up if possible. I try to use the internet more than calling because it is long distance. Also, check email and just do nothing. Doing nothing rocks.

I have my cell phone and nationwide calling, so that is awesome! My parents are paying the bill anyway, might as well use the minutes I have when I can! haha, I really don't use it too much. Email checking is awesome too! and doing nothing! I think I am going to take up some of Thoreau's ideas and find a spot and just sort of sit in nature and observe and think and such. Clear my mind, look at nature! It will be awesome!

I love doing that. I have a favorite spot at camp that I could go and spend an entire day there. As much as I adore my camp friends, I love spending time alone in nature. I go to my favorite spot (that no one I think knows about), bring an ipod or book and just relax. It is so relaxing. I sometimes bring my phone, just in case someone needs me, because I would be way out of shouting distance, lol!

cool cool! I don't know that I have a favorite spot in camp yet, at least one that isn't always so populated. I love looking out off of the deck over the lake when no one is swimming and it is so peaceful! However this is our dining hall deck and people are always wimming or playing in the meadow or whatever, so it isn't so peaceful in the summer!

i havent been to my camp yet so idk what my fave spot is yet - i guess i'll find out

I love just going and sitting at my fav spot!

i can't wait to go hiking and find a spot to just chill out!
im guessing everyone would need time to themselves where they can do wateva they want!

HEYYYYY SHAYYYYYYY.
