Camping grounds write up

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

When I was first a camp counselor, it was a long long time ago. People would play tricks on me. One time, I stepped right into IT.

From then on, I needed to get back at the people who did this to me. The gal that did this to me found her 1976 Ford station wagon sitting on its rims alone. lol. Now how I pulled that off is another story in and of itself.

I’ve been a summer camp counselor for over 25 years at various camps. One of the activities I covertly participate in is pranks played upon the other camp counselors.

Another prank I’ve performed many times is cutting shoe laces almost completely in half. When attempting to tie, the laces break in half. They had to tie them in knots to lace up. One last prank was to mix up all of the girls clothes between cabins. One t-shirt would be in another’s luggage, etc. A size 6 shoe would be matched with a similar size 7 1/2 shoe in another cabin. This drove the girls nuts. Some may think that I’m crazy (and i probably am crazy lol); however, we all have a great time each summer.

I know that I would spend the year in school thinking about how I could prank other people over the summer. It was a great past time and would keep me exited about going back to camp each summer.

Scouts save the day

Our entire family was invited to a scout camping weekend. I nearly panicked since I had never been camping before, but my son and daughter really wanted to go. Luckily, the scouts’ invitation came with several ideas and a list of how to pack for the trip to learn more about camping. I checked out all the sites, plus a few more, and then went shopping. Between a couple camping gear websites and the big box discount store, I located everything that we would need. It was still all new to me, but when we arrived at the campground the more experienced parents were on hand to make sure that all the families had a good time. We did. Thanks to the scouts. More simliar stuff.
