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

When you are jealous that you haven't meet Bob Ditter and other people have....

haha, so true!

When you are thinking that when you get to camp you will have to watch their copy of the Bob Ditter video!

when you dream of camp!

when you use your brownies to try out new games for camp!

this was on the second page!!! Had to save it!!


When you are loyal to a certain store

or, when you are loyal to a certain store just because it is the "everything for cheap" store closest to your camp!

When you have played marco polo in your camps local walmart!

when you are actually considering going over to camp the weekend before finals when you have a final Monday morning at 9 am!! And it will cost you more to get there than you will get paid probably!! Or when you do it as a volunteer!!

Haha. It sound's like you'd have to be insane to do that. But it's camp, so I can understand.

yeah, pretty much insane! Who knows though! I might not have a final til Wednesday, but it is still a really big stretch to try to get me over there in time on Friday. Especially since I still have no idea if anyone will give me a ride and when they can leave!

Haha, yeah. Good luck with that!

thanks!!

You're welcome. =P

When you ask for birthday presents that can be used at camp - like a nice new bag!

haha, so true and happy belated birthday, even though I wished you a happy birthday on your birthday!!!

when your cousin is counting down to her weeding and graduation, and everyone else is counting down to the end of school, and you are counting down until camp. When a friend asks how many days are left in school or you want to know, you subtract the days from you CAMP countdown!!!

When a missionary you know only knows how many days it is until he goes home cos he sees you count down every time he comes to your house and he goes home 15 days after you leave for camp.

When you invest a small chalk message board specially for you count down!

When you spend 2 1/2 hours wandering around Walmart and can think of camp uses for everything you see!!

I spent like $134 in there the other day!! lol

haha - thats what happens when you become a CD ermie

when you sign up for a pen pal on talkcamp and the give you your best friend!

Yes, when you sign up for pen pal on talkcamp and they give you your best friend which will make it even easier to have a pen pal when you were already planning on staying connected over the summer.

When you save every staff manual and different materials from every camp you work at and it keeps getting bigger.

When you get to know the staff or returning staff ask you to take them out of camp for the evening

When the camp you are at keeps repeating the same song at every meal all summer long.

When you know what you are having for dinner every two weeks because the meal is the same every two weeks.

When you rush to the mail to see if you got any.

Again when you are always talking about camp with friends.

When ask if you heard about something important on the tv news and you look at your friends and say no, they ask "where have you been in the woods all summer" and you reply "yes"

When you own almost every t-shirt that the camp has

When you agree that everyone in facebook is mostly camp friends

Talking to friends about you best friend who lives in another country and they are wondering how you meet someone from another country

When you im and call your best friend in scotland on a regular bases

When you don't care what you look like in the morning or during the day because you are just going to get even dirtier as the day goes on.

Were rain is a natural shower and part of the camp on a normal basis

When you get home and answer the phone with your camp name and tell people that they can call you that instead of your given name

when you use your camp name as a nick name so that your professor can post the class' grades online without anyone else knowing your grade!

Omg! I used to do that too! My friends saw I was making a countdown for something, and they thought it was for school, so they kept asking me how many days were left until school was out, but it eventually got annoying having to calculate it all the time, so then I made a school countdown, too.

When you have been quoted in campkgurls essays!

Yay! I have too, even though I'm not a counselor...

That was a really good one, Smudge!

When people you have never met in person are trying to get you work at their camps!

When you actually agree to that.
