This week is for kids who have completed 7th-10th grade- teen week! We have a small group, just 50 kids and out of that group, only 4 kids who are new to camp. It's only Monday night, so it's been a full day and Sunday afternoon, but already the week is AWESOME. The vibe is super laid back-these kids are here to chill. And because they are older, there's no homesickness, no problems with listening, no lost shoes, no random melt downs- they are just happily hanging out, excited to be at camp.
We changed the schedule, making breakfast an hour later, bedtime about 2 hours later and adding in a bunch of new activities. We did a mingle game on Sunday night to mix them all up and tonight was a late night (okay it started at 9:30, but usually they are done showering and in cabins by then) ice cream social.
Counselors routinely complain when we change the schedule, but I LOVE changing the schedule, so I've been excited for this week since last fall when I came up with the idea. I'm confident this is going to be the best week yet!
