As I am approaching my final weeks of camp I am starting to think about all of the amazing kids I have met and friends I have made. While initially, I thought summer camp would just be an easy summer job, I have quickly found that it is challenging, exhausting and rewarding all at the same time. Camp itself is just a job, but the people who attend it are what make it a fun experience. While the other counselors and I may complain about the kids at times, overall they are extremely adorable and at times unknowingly hilarious. Here is a list of the top 10 funniest, cutest and strangest things counselors have heard from our campers.
1. Someone has been sniffing cocaine and now they're hyper, who was it?
2. Ms. Rachel, do you have a baby?
3. We're going to go to UCLA and be roommates.
4. The word butt is very inappropriate.
5. Can we break the rules a little bit?
6. Sometimes I wish my pants were candy so I could eat them.
7. My little brother is a monster, literally.
8. How sassy is too sassy?
9. We are actually so adorable.
10. Can I please take you home with me?
So far camp has been an overall great experience. Children, while exhausting, are a lot of fun to be around. Often times they are funny without even realizing it. They say the first things that come to their minds without even pondering it. Sometimes I do not understand half of what comes out of their mouths and yet I always find it entertaining. Come August I probably will not miss having to wake up at 7:00 every morning and drag myself to work. However, I will definitely miss the adorable kids and the random, comical things that come out of their mouths.
