Well camp has come and gone. It was a fantastic week! Having not been there in two years I was a bit worried about going back. I was afraid I wouldn't really know anyone anymore and I would spend the week in the awkward "Acquaintance" phase. You know where you kind of know people, but not well enough to just like randomly join them at dinner. But by the end of the first day I'd lost all fear of that. It was like coming home. I don't think I really realized how much I missed camp until I got back there. I feel so blessed to have been able to be a part of SuperWeek. The campers were awesome and I can't even begin to express what a blessing the other staff was to me this week.
I could write so much, but I'm just going to go with a few highlights.
Funniest Moment that wasn't supposed to be funny: P. Murph's portrayl of Jonah (see his blog for the full story)
-A close second was the Talent Show (if you saw it you know why)
Funniest Moment that was actually supposed to be funny: Ben's radio show.
New event that should be a tradition: Staff cookouts after lights out.
Moment where I almost peed my pants: When Buck and Ben B. jumped out at Lauren and I late one night. Our screams actually woke up Cabin 1.
Moment where I almost cried: When Curt gave Danny the whistle. I think much of the staff was near tears during that one.
Best camper moment: Watching all the junior campers at the petting zoo.
Other random highlights: Apple Smashing w/ SWAT, pulling off a little revenge and not getting caught, Operation Incognito
I was sad for the week to end and I hope that I can again be involved in some of the planning in the coming year.
Oh in totally unrelated news, I was accepted into graduate school at USC so when I get back from Amsterdam I'll be starting on my Master's in Social Work.

I'll say that the apple smashing wasn't nearly as exciting as the hunt for apples to DO said smashing.
That's very true. If only we'd sent Kara out in the Canoe...
Michelle,
I'm so glad you felt at home. THAT is a feeling I know very well, almost to where I don't feel as much at home in other places. You added a lot to the week, and I personally hope you plan to continue and expand your contributions over the next several years of SuperWeek!
Michael
Yeah, I thought about letting out a good cry, I pulled myself together a couple of minutes before I went up there. Curt's the man!
