Camp...

So I still really need to see that movie...

Anyway, onto the actually topic of this post, which is that of the summer camp I'm working at this year! Yes, after the crap I went through with the YMCA, I got a job at a summer camp near me and it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. How do I know this if I haven't gone to any of the meetings because I didn't work there? Easy. Today was "orientation".

Now I thought that meant orientation for the staff. Boy was I wrong. It was actually orientation for the campers (and their parents) who suffer from separation anxiety, even when their kid is like twelve years old or something. It's actually pretty funny, from the psychology point of view. You definately got to see which had the problem (camper or parent) just by the way each was acting.

I also realize how badly parents really do embarrass their kids. It's completely awful! Seriously, parents were telling us things that they probably never really should. It was badly hilarious. But all we can do is smile and nod and say things like "I'm sure they'll be fine." and "We'll work through it!"

And of course the favorite - "This is going to be a great year, right? Yeah! High five!"
