It's almost here. Ever since you got the call that you would be working for *insert camp here* name this summer you have been counting down the days until summer 2016. You're home from college and the next few weeks are about to be torture as you wait to move into you home for the summer. You love hanging out with all of your friends, but you're a little too excited to trade them in for eleven year olds. Camp is on its way. And even though these next few weeks are going to be full of anguishing wait, you're so close.
You've gone through your packing list four to five times, even though you haven't actually packed anything yet.Ou've gone thought all the T shirts you'll need in your mind and the ratio of bro tanks to long sleeves you'll need depending on the weather. You've got a pair of shoes for every occasion: shower shoes, muddy shoes, rain boots, crocs, and multiple pairs of sandals (read: chacos).
You've planned enough activities to last multiple summers. In fact, you've wrestled with the idea of how late you can make your campers stay up so that you can squeeze in all of the activities you want. Every trip through the grocery store has isles and isles of candy and chips calling your name. You wonder if you can break your record for number of Swedish Fish bags that you can sneak into your cabin without anyone knowing. You've prepped. You've prepared. You've thought out every scenario and idea you possibly could. You're ready.
And now, you're so close. Campfires and s'mores and lake time are less than a month away. Lake time and camp food will be here before you know it. And late nights with campers and falling asleep under the stars are just within reach.
Just a few more sleeps til camp fellow counselors. We can do it.
