The Summer That Changed Everything

Camp was the best decision I've ever made, I will never be able to explain the fun, laughter, games, songs and all the other amazing parts of camp life to someone thats never been to camp. 10 weeks of laughter, crying, bug bites, excitement, exploring and so much more and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. It is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, its exhausting, you deal with homesickness, injury, illness and life problems, you lose sleep, sweat but all of that is so worth it for the amazing memories i have created this summer. The first night I arrived I had know idea what I had let myself in for it was freezing, we were in tents and to top it all of I was massively jet lagged, I cried because I was sure that I couldn't do this, I woke up the next day feeling not so jet lagged and knew that I could do this and I've never looked back, the tents even ended up being my favourite place to sleep. The first week9 was training week, the week were we all developed friendships, I became good friends with three girls called Bluebell, Casper and Daisy. We all had camp names as it is a girl scout tradition and I went to a girl scout cam9p, mine was Bambi which at the time I choose because I thought it was cute, little did I know that it would discover it was an extremely fitting name, I'm basically a deer, I'm ditzy and have no road safety, now I'm obsessed with Bambi and deers are my favourite animals. The first week of kids was crazy, I had no idea what I was doing, luckily I had Twirls who helped me learn everything about this job and we quickly became an amazing team. I loved everything about camp, drama, Kayaking, swimming, volleyball, gaga ball, singing, there was so many laugh. The food was incredible, my favourite breakfast was chocolate chip pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, lunch was bbq chicken wraps and dinner was anything with garlic bread. They also in the second the last week did an amazing thing of making a huge chocolate brownie sundae and it was soo delicious. Camp is the happiest place on earth, I created so many memories from a lot of karaoke in the mom mobiles, to dancing in the gas station, meeting my australian twin, cutting my hair off and getting chatted up in dunkin donuts and so many more that I could write for hours. Leaving camp was the most heartbreaking thing in the world and I can't wait for us all the be reunited. Camp changed my life, I found myself, became more confident and laid back, I will always be thankful for this summer and the family I became apart of, I love you Camp Grove Point x
