The end of the rain

Just wanted to let you know that approximately 10 minutes after I wrote the previous post and when it started to rain it's again sunny weather without the rain now. Fast change ;)

The storm is coming...

I'm sitting on the porch of the office house here in the camp. And as the weather is turning to the storm I decided to tell u something about the weather here in Pennsylvania. It's ridiculous that the weather here is so similar to the Nebraskan one. At least its unstable features are pretty similar. Couple minutes ago there was sun shining and now I had to run away to inside part of the porch because it's heavy raining.

Sometimes you can't predict here how the weather will look like in upcoming hours or even minutes. Apparently often storms, the weather and temperatures are nice here. Mostly sunny and warm weather about 25 degrees. However, some nights are very cold so one sheet is not enough.

As I can see the storm going toward its end I wanna show you pictures with rainbow above the camp I took yesterday. Hopefully it will look like that here soon, so we can make barbecue tonight as we planned...

Less work more partying...

After long time of my laziness and hard work ;) I'm posting again. During this time you didn't hear from me I tried to used to on camp life. Which isn't very easy sometimes... All this rules which we have to follow. We can't smoke, drink in the camp. OK, I can understand those rules, because it's still kids camp (even the kids still didn't arrive, they are suppose to be here in less than two weeks), but I can't hardly understand that we can't chew the gum and we can't wear the flip-flops (something like sandals).

No matter rules and work, here are exactly this mix of people I like. Internationals (include Czechs, Slovaks, Polish, Israeli, Dutch, British, Canadians, South Africans...) and Americans. With my American, Colombian and Israeli friends I already went to Philadelphia. I'll tell u more later. Take care!

Life of a camp staff

It's my fifth day here in the camp and I must say that it's not so bad as I thought at the beginning. The work is hard but here are nice people who make the stay here much better and funnier. I can say that I have already new friends here. And the mix of the friends I like - internationals with Americans ;) People from South Africa, Colombia, Israel or from Kansas, New Jersey...

The real camp still didn't start. We are in the phase of the pre-camp, which means that we are preparing the camp site for the arrival of kids who are gonna come in approximately 3 weeks. I like this time, because we are here in about 30 people (the number is still rising when the new guys are coming), which is ideal number to get to know others and know everybody here. It's not gonna be possible when here are 250 counselors and support staff and over 500 children.

So, basically our work like cutting the grass, painting the buildings, cleaning the bunks and all building isn't fun, the other people and our "community" make it much easier. We are tired after each work but then there is a night to chill out with friends. We can go to the bars in the near town Honesdale (20 minutes drive by car - without car or friends with car it just sucks as everywhere in the States ;)), play variety of outdoor and indoor games.

It's pretty camp, looking forward to the pictures from here...
