week two: Funny quote here.

Things I really liked about week two of year two of counseling:

- Going to opening campfire dressed as different states and seeing which states each of the girls picked, and then how they personified that in their outfits.  

 - Campers getting a blue band at their swim check even when they are extremely nervous and think that they can't do it.  The smile on their face is just priceless and a reward that you can't get anywhere else.

- Watching the Kalepo skit and singing Jabulani at chapel in the Green Cathedral all on the same day and having my campers catch some of my excited energy

- My partner being a guitar all-star at Kettlehut chapel and being so proud of her

-  Freaking out with Maddie and finally figuring out a way to organize the payments and buildings and resources and progress of Uganda and South Africa when we played Will of Nations for the first time in Lake Village

- Watching my campers reach out to other campers who are sitting alone and intentionally getting to know them and be friends with them

- When nobody could recognize who the crazy person was under the afro and I knew all along that she's one of the coolest partners I could ever ask for

- Friday Trading Post where it's just like the good old days mixed with the excitement of Friday night theme dinners mixed with the fact that these teenage girls think that they have to spend every last penny of their Trading Post account

- Closing campfire and the CILT graduation song and watching the CILT counselors direct them so they would stay on beat and be loud enough and leave camp on a positive note

- Seeing old campers like EP and Liv be allstar CILTs and still taking time to run and give me giant hugs anytime our paths crossed

- Olivia and Lauren becoming friends through Mouseamillion and just loving them both so much
