Today was an exciting day at camp! The rest of the summer staff arrived in style, beginning with the new staff members who had a busy afternoon filled with camp tours and history lessons. I always look forward to the name games that the new staff members play to introduce themselves—it’s hard to remember everyone’s names at first, but luckily a brave few succeeded. Later, they were joined by the returning staff, which made quite an enthusiastic crowd. After some introductions, the activity heads hosted a cookout for all of the staff. The theme was Hometown Throwdown, so I snuck some things from the stock shop and showed off my Merrie-Woode gear. After dinner, we had a peppy campfire, complete with a band of guitars, ukuleles, and a tambourine! To finish the night, the whole staff came together to enjoy some fresh s’mores. I suppose I could make s’mores anytime I like, but sharing them with the summer staff just makes them taste that much better.
With sugary sweetness,
Tajar
