Day 38 – Camp Director Check In

Started as a rainy day this morning and ended up being a beautiful afternoon.  It poured rain just to the north of our camp, but not here, in the afternoon.

Took our son out of camp tonight for soccer – it is play-offs and the team only had 1 sub to begin with.  It allowed me some time to chat with him on the drive to soccer.  Here is a story that he told me:
What I love most about camp so far is my Choose Your Own Adventure – I signed up for the fort building CYOA and I love it.  I like when everyone was introducing themselves and saying – “Hey!  How are you?  I’m so and so.  Do you want to be my friend?”  Older kids said they would be my friend – it was awesome!  I learned some good things too.  Someone taught me that it is easier to walk sideways up a muddy hill.  Good advice.  Someone else told me that you shouldn’t go into the mud without rubber boots.  Good advice.  I wonder what other advice I will get this week?

It was great as a parent to hear this story (my wife heard it the night before on a different ride to soccer).  As a camp director – I hope these are the stories that our camper parents get to hear.

Priceless.
