ACA Home Forums You Know You are A Counselor When...

hahah i spend my life on the forums

hehe - there are far worse places we can spend our time!

haha very true

You know you are counsellor when you randomly wear your CA Tshirts - just cos you can!

i really want a shirt so i can wear it whenever

Between my CA shirts and my camp shirts I have loads of them! I practically live in camp shirts!

or as soon as you get to school you get online until your teacher comes nd you have to do yearbook!

When you are setting up your new laptop and you set it up with 2 clocks - one with UK time and one with camp time!

haha, that's amazing Smudge!

And once I get transfer my camp pics on to it I will have a camp pic as my background!

haha my cell phone banner is " i love camp" No camp pics, I don't have it during camp!

hehe - cool!

I love the fact that I can lock my phone in the camp safe during the summer and not worry about it! Oh I cant wait to do that!

absoultey! I keep mine in my purse in my cabin, still out of my campers view at all times. My campers are still a little young to care if I have a phone or not, though I definitely don't tell them I have it or let them see it because then they might want to call home on it when they are homesick and then you just have more issues!

when you don't count the days til the last day of school, but to camp instead!

when you go to craft club spend time looking at camp pics rather making cards!

You know you're a counselor when you have two sets of clothes... camp clothes and those others you wear not at camp.

when someone wears socks with their flip-flops and you don't even flinch. If you are away from camp, it reminds you of camp!

ewwww do people do that.
i hate that

haha, in real life- no one does it, but in camp life (depending on your camps rules on footwear- some allow flip-flops, some require socks, some don't care, etc), at least for me, some people do it because sandals are a lot more open and thus not as hot and sweaty.

ill just were my dunlops.

what are dunlops?

runners. but like good material like rubber bottoms and breatheable material.
look them up.
soo comfy.

When you finally get around to sorting out your photos from last summer and you have to spend about 5 hours - sorting into files and naming the pictures and you still arent finished!

You call your campers "your kids"

absolutely! My 8th grade teacher said that she had kids- 180 of them! Actually she said some number in the 400s because she was including past students as well! We are sooo like that! If we go by her definition of kids I have approximately 210 of them!

when you are still not finished organising last years pictures but really wanna get it done before you head to camp this year

when you pinch the idea of a CBIAB for organising things for guides!
