So I'll start from where I left off! The beginning of last week was spent with Leanne, Tash and 5 nine year old girls who were on the 'team spirit' programme. It was safely the easiest week ever! as they were so well behaved and were always ready to go to their activities. The best part of the week was going to a high ropes course at a place called Monkey Trunks. It was soo much fun and was really challenging. It was basically an obstacle course suspended in the air!

That week was also quite stormy and wet which was a bit annoying! On the way back from the high ropes course we were caught in a storm, it was so bad that we couldn't see the cars in front, bit scary! We also did a "kitchen raid" late at night which is when the children think we are stealing food from the kitchen but we've actually planned it already which makes them really excited and scared so that they hide in the trees haha. Each unit has to do a staff skit about their programme for the week in front of all staff and campers so me, Leanne and Tash decided to do a cheesy over the top cheer about team spirit! These girls left on Saturday and our following group came that evening.

This week was a bit different as we had two different groups in one week. So one group came for 3 and a half days then another group came for the second half of the week. The first group were really young kids that were aged 6 and up. We gave them a taster of camp by doing lots of different activities with them. They were hard work!!! Two or three were enough to handle but ten all at the same time screaming and running around was crazy. I had to tell them the same thing about 3 times before they registered and did what I told them! But they were still very cute. One night they wouldn't go to sleep because there was a mouse in their cabin but there's really nothing you can do so I told them that mice can't climb and that they should go back to sleep. One of them also woke me up to tell me her tooth was wobbly..!? Still nothing I can do go back to bed!! I was really happy when those girls left even if they were only here for 2 full days!

The next set of girls arrived that evening and were a bit older which was nice! These girls want me to paint their nails and plait their hair all the time, which reminds me I have never done so many french plaits on people in my life! They love it! Along with eyebrow shaping! I have called it Spa Elly and if people want their eyebrows shaped or nails done then they come to me, I'm slowly making my way around the staffs eyebrows and sorting them out! Haha. These girls leave tomorrow and then it is break weekend! I am spending my break weekend at Stephanie's house with a couple of other friends where we'll relax at the pool, go to a drive in movie and a real diner!!

Next week I am not sure what I will be doing but it will either be spent cleaning up camp or with another 4 day programme and then camp is nearly over! The staff party is on 11th which is a big clam bake and party on the beach that we have. This will be a nice chance to dress up and look pretty again yay! 

So there's only 12 days till the end of camp and New York and 18 days till I'm home! Excitedd!!
