Well, when I first get to work at the beginning of the week I drop my luggage off in the cabin that I will be staying in for the next 5 days. Then I go to a staff meeting where I find out how many kids I will be watching over and teaching science to for the week. Then we [me and other staff] prep the rest of the camp for this week, getting out the proper gear that we will need [we do tons of hiking] and making sure that we have everything ready. Then we wait out in the parking lot for the buses of kids to arrive. When the kids get here, we sing a few camp songs before we split them off with the staff member that will be mentoring them for the week, they are usually in groups of no more than 11 kids to 1 staff member. Then we make the kids pick up their luggage and we take them to their cabin. They drop their stuff off on the bunk they will be sleeping on, then we inform them of the standards. Then they have lunch. Lunch and all the other meals are served family style. We have a hopper [they get up and get the food from the mess hall's kitchen] a hostess [a girl that introduces everyone at the table to the guest] a guest [a staff member that sits at the table, changing tables every meal, kids stay at the same table] and a host [He does the toast and passes around the food]. After lunch, they go on a hike and learn about science stuff, like the L.A.W.S. of nature, which are the four abiotic [non-living] things that all biotic [living] things need to survive. L= Land, A= Air, W= Water, and S= Sunlight. After that hike they come back for dinner, served just like lunch. Then we have the lowering of the flag as the kids sing taps. Then we have a campfire, where the staff tell stories and preform skits. After the campfire is the folk dance. There is where we teach the kids to square dance. After the folk dance it is off to bed for the children. Lights are out at 9:30 pm and they are all tuckered out after their first day of Science Camp. They then wake up at 7am the next morning for a nother day chalk full of learning. |
