Work Week

Registration this year is excellent and I am really happy because, financial success aside, it is just so much more fun when the week is filled and there are tons of kids. All of the sessions were looking good except this past week- I'm not sure if it was the 4th of July holiday or the theme or what, but as of a month ago, we only had 13 kids registered, so I decided to cancel it. I called all the parents and I was able to move all the kids without any issue, so it was fine- kind of annoying, but it all worked out.

I made Monday-Wednesday optional "work week" and had the staff busy with a bunch of random projects we wouldn't have had time for otherwise. They scraped and repainted cabins all over camp, chopped wood, helped prepare future programming things, etc. They worked really hard and while canceling the week wasn't ideal, it ended up being a blessing in disguise because camp looks gorgeous and I feel even better about programming than I did before.

Thursday was a day of rest- I literally did nothing and it was FABULOUS. Yesterday was another day of rest but also 4th of July so we had a BBQ and went out on the pontoon to watch fireworks. Camp is in a little up north town, but the fireworks display is outstanding!

Today is my third day off in a row and I am getting a little antsy and ready for kids to return and camp life to go back to normal, but I am ready to enjoy another sunny day filled with relaxing!
