Me and ShoonyStaff Training started on Tuesday at 2pm. Its's been pretty great so far. All the counsellors are now here, and in total there are 21 of us. Over the past few days we have been going over policies and procedures, health information and trying out some of the activities. Yesterday we went sailing in the aqua fins which was really fun! Fern and I rigged one up and took it out on the water. After we finish sailing we have to tie the boats to little moorings and swim back to shore. Its not to far though, and the water is really nice! I keep forgetting that we are in a fresh water lake, I am so used to be in the ocean back home where everything gets salty and sticky.
Today I tried windsurfing for the first time. It's a lot harder than it looks! We each got a little try and hopefully by the end of camp I'll be a bit better at it. Last night we all brought our sleeping gear up to the lodge and watched 'How to eat fried worms', however most of us fell asleep in the first 10 minutes as we were so tired! This morning we had to get up at 6 instead of 7 for a suprise. Turns out we went for a sunrise sail in the scot boats which hold 6-8 people. The wind here is no where near as strong as windy wellington, but hopefully it will pick up a bit more later so that we can get some good sailing in.
For lunch today we had 'shipwrecked lunch' which means all the cutlery and furniture are scattered everywhere. Eg. at my table the table was on its side, Skippy had to eat her food with a ladle, and some of us had knives, and bowls for cutlery. We had hot dogs which was really good! The other day I tried a corn dog which wasn't really my thing.
Tonight we are having a cook out where we cook our food outside over the fire. Should be lots of fun!
Anyway have to go now. Break is over.
Byee!
