50 Friends I Cant Wait to Meet
I CANNOT WAIT to meet my Camp Scully friends. Camp Scully is the camp that I have been going to since I was just seven years old. The friends I made well our relationships were unbreakable and we were able to hangout and chat outside of camp, it was nice knowing we could still be friends even when the summers ended. And the counselors I had always looked up to in awe, I was always so grateful to have these amazing, hilarious, and talented people present in my life even for just a couple of weeks a year. And it was one of my childhood dreams to be able to work as a counselor for this great camp. But this year I was worried that because of my age I would not be eligible to work as a counselor -or any other job- at camp, the minimum age that one needs to be to even be looked at as a possible candidate for camp is 17 years of age. But like I said I have been going to this camp since I was seven so the camp director Colin knows me well and has watched me grow up literally. Knowing that I was too young to work at the camp I signed up for my second year of the LIT, leaders in training, program and volunteer for the extra four out of seven that I would not already be at the camp for. But Colin, when I was volunteering at the Spring Camp, pulled me aside and decided to talk to me about my options for this summer. He basically told me that because of my age I could not work there at all and he would love for me come as an LIT and maybe take over for someone who leaves or quits. I was stoked and impassioned with excitement! So I went home from volunteering and did not have any thoughts of even becoming a counselor, but long story short, Colin called me one day and said it would be foolish to not have me as a welcomed member of his staff this year. I was even more excitement- if possible- than before. I got off the phone with him and immediately started filling out my application. Colin made my childhood dream come true, and I am so excited to meet all the fellow staff members who most of them are past camp friends. It will be a whole new experience working with them 24/7 for 9 weeks and I couldn't be happier. As I have been saying since I got offered the job, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST SUMMER EVER! 2012 WHOO!
