Power Outages

Lifeguard training and the end of pre-camp, followed by CPR/1st aid training, and last Friday- the beginning of staff training have kept me BUSY. I think I forgot (more likely, CHOSE to forget) how intense staff training is.

The staff this summer is great. I feel really confident in them. They are the most religious group I've had in 7 years. Each night when training has ended after 12 hours of nonstop activity, they all gather in the chapel to say the rosary together. So far, it is just the lead staff and I who don't go to evening prayer. I'm glad they still have energy to get together and if that makes them happy, I am glad. but after 12 hours of talking, explaining, and leading them, all I want to do is sit quietly by myself.

The power has gone out multiple times- a few times because it has rained and a few times because it was windy and once for no reason at all. It is so annoying and frustrating and even though everyone rolls with it, I want to SCREAM.

But if that is the worst issue, I can't complain. Camp looks beautiful, the staff are excited and seem to be pretty skilled and life is good.
