ACA Home Forums Count Down 2010!!

that's so cool.

my uncle built a few green houses out of old windows and such that were laying around. i always found it fun to have to figure out which window opened and how to climb thru to get into these green houses years later when he wasn't there to maintain the garden and green house.

i would love to be a hippie. i think i was born in the wrong decade

agreed. My mom still asks me, "Where did you come from!?" haha it's whatever, I enjoy it, and it works well for camp.

back to camper-build it ideas though - I think that Lashing is a pretty easy trade to pick up on and so maybe doing a bit about that and then having kids build their own teepees and camping outside of their cabins would be a great cabin-growth activity. be sure to include smores, a campfire-cooked meal if you'd like, and this would be a perfect time to talk about the Leave No Trace program

i love teaching leave no trace to campers. i get all giddy inside.

i read somewhere about a group of kids building a simple and cost effective mini course that they got to design and all.

that seems real cool

If it helps her camp name is Selkie!

we had to go by real names when we were there that week. but thanks for trying to help!

Claire is her real name!

Thanks for outing me Smudge! Yes I worked for River Valleys and was meant to be on the Lakamaga staff but got abducted by the Whispering Hills/Northwoods crowd!

Shame I won't be there this summer.

Hehe - I didnt give your whole name away! You can give my name away if you want!

haha thanks guys....i worked for singing hills. i am sure i probably saw you but ur names dont ring a bell at all.

Yea for all that training the different camps didn't mix too much. Unless you were part of the Lifeguard training.

really? our director wouldn't let us stay together! we had to mingle

100 days till I leave for camp!

the 100 day mark is always the best!

there is so much happening between then and now I hope it goes fast!

yeah i know how you feel. i'm ready to just be doing what i love

103 Days! I just counted down to staff training. I can't believe that it is so close already!

Whee for summer 2K10!

114 days if I get the job I want! It seems so close!

92 days til i move out to camp! so excited, I can't wait for this summer to get here

About 62 or so until I move out for camp. Blah....seems so far away still.

Somewhere around 128, or something. I still don't have my postion or my official start date, but I know that I will be at camp in 128 days, whether or not 8 start that day or a few days prior.

wow, it always amazes me when you have less than 100 days til camp and I still have another month after that before I leave. DTP, what are you talking about?!?! You have HALF the days left that I do. hehe Not to mention, a good 30 or more days on anyone else! awesomeness for you!

Haha yeah but still, want 60 days to be more like 2 days.

Yeah, I totally know what you mean. I want it to be 2 days as well, except for the fact that it means leaving my kids over on this side of the state at the daycare/preschool and church I work at. I love those kids and their age, and the fact that I can give them real hugs, and carry them, and put them in my lap and everything! I kiss the babies and toddlers on the top of the head too! I love being able to do that. I can also take one kid, boy or girl, down to the bathroom by myself and help them if needed. I can even go in the boys bathroom if it's only the kids in there since both my coworker and I are girls and these kids get out of control. Plus, we'd do the same thing in the girls bathroom, but this multiplies the number of toilets and sinks so we can get done sooner since 3 year olds will wash their hands forever if you let them!!

woah, sorry, ramble!! hehe I get to work from 8-5 tomorrow so I'm excited!! Love those kids!!

Somewhere around 125. I'm not really keeping up with my countdown since it's not exact anyway. I will keep better track once I get my official start date!!!

91 Days :-) whoa, I should buy my ticket..

The would be a good plan! Before the prices rise to much!

I just wish the next few months would go quickly because I cannot wait til I am at camp this summer. I am getting more excited each day!
