Date night
me, to the kids i worked with last week: welcome to medieval camp everyone! can anyone think of any fun medieval activities we might do here at camp this week?
kid: well, they used to do this thing where they would take your body and make it into four pieces and i think it was called quartering.
me: that’s called torture! we will not in fact be participating in torture this week! …anyone else?
Summer Camp, 1996
Camp Names:
So you’re spending the Summer at Camp, and your Camp uses “camp names”… Whether you’re a new CIT or a counselor, using a camp name can be hard to adjust to (even if you’ve been waiting for this moment for years)!
You need to learn to respond to a new name, write it on papers, and introduce yourself as such. The secret to (quickly) learning to identify with and respond to a new camp name?
Refer to yourself in the 3rd person!
Yep, it’s weird! And yes, it’s awkward! But it truly works like a charm. Narrate what you’re doing, answer questions in the 3rd person- use your name in 3rd person references liberally and then some.
“Sunshine is feeling great about high ropes!”
“Casper is going to go to clean up in here and then Casper will head to lunch.”
“Snappy is headed to the lodge!”
Help your new coworkers to get comfortable with their names: use their camp names liberally as well! Even if they are a returning staff member, using their name can help them get back into their camp persona (more on this later).
“Rhythm is good! How is Acorn today?”
“Meadow is going to the lake with Sketch, does Atlas want to join?”
“Has Comet seen Ponyo yet?”
This helps everyone to get into the flow of camp, and can speed up the adjustment process- don’t let camp culture shock get the best of you, embrace the weird new culture around you! But of course, speak up when you feel the new (or return!) counselor scaries set in. Whether it’s your first summer or seventh, the start of summer anxiety can get to you- talk to your fellow counselors and admin staff, and know you will do amazing things this Summer!
I love Girl Scout Camp because young girls are quite random; at Camp they really let loose and it leads to moments like this from a 7 ish year old:
*world’s most concerning gasp* “I’ve done the unthinkable!!”
Reader, she had simply threaded a pony bead onto a piece of elastic cord- the gasp caused my heart to skip a beat…
(Good) Camp Directors are active supporters of staff’s pure chaos and it really does set the bar quite high for future management… like what do you mean a 9 to 5 won’t support me standing on the table singing a song suspiciously close to Rattlin’ Bog at 8 am on a Monday?
I need someone to match my freak the way my Camp Directors do holy shit

I broke my record. I lived in this forest for a month and a half. I didn't pay any money. There was only wind and nature.
And I understood this: the greatest enemy of humanity on this planet is the state, the system, and the rules.
Allah (God) created this planet for you. Not for you to sell to each other.

Day 22: Camp
With mountains climbed
Stars gazed at.
It's been a beautiful week of all my life.
With friends made, and friendships bonded
I don't know how life could change.
People talked, laughed, had a merry go ride.
This has been where relationships redefined
New ones made
Judgements broken and new ones made.
Love to all the people and all the memories.
To the good and bad triping
