Responsibilities

It has been a WHIRLWIND of people and activity and I'm exhausted. Training hasn't even officially begun.

Today there were so many things going on and as I took it all in, I realized that I was responsible for all of it.

The chain gang was back, busy with clearing brush, creating and hauling wood chips and making camp look less like a jungle. I am grateful and excited every time I see them. I am so happy we got involved with them because we have made SO much progress.

A and S were working on a variety of projects- painting, organizing and beautifying camp.

The boys were busy cleaning and hauling things around camp. A and S were watching over them and keeping them busy with a list I'd created.

My dad was busy with several projects that need to be done before camp, as well as cutting the grass and keeping all of the staff supplied with painting supplies and other tools.

While all of that was going on, I was with the other boys training them to be lifeguards. I am very happy with the fact that I can train my own staff and not have to worry about budgeting or scheduling trainings with the Red Cross, but to be tied up all day for the four days before training begins when so much activity is going on around me is sort of stressful.

More than anything though, it's really exciting to see so much progress happening every day. I am excited and proud to be part of it and gladly accept the responsibility that comes along with it.
