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...
