Start of a Camp Summer

-

 I was told that it has been a whole month since my last post and in fact in has only been a couple of weeks.

Two weeks ago, I once again moved in to camp! This time on the Administrative team with the dual title of Leadership and Program Director. This means that I run the Counselor-in-training program as well as create and maintain the non-water related programming. These past two weeks have been a busy set of cleaning, organizing and training our new and returning staff. 

Tomorrow the first set of campers arrive and my CITs. I am not sure I am ready for them but I am excited nonetheless. 

It has been funky being on this new level. I am now dad to staff that use to be my campers and deal with issues that I would not expect to come up (no scandals such as 2019) but interpersonal conflicts over flamingoes and a lack of laundry lines. However some of the opportunities that come with it have been very exciting after being at camp for so long, such as driving the van and going to the post office. 


I can't promise that I will write consistently but I will try at the end of every session to check in. If you want to send anything here are my addresses. 

Anything through USPS: 
Olivia Rosenblum 
PO Box 1018
Brewster MA 02631

Anything through UPS, Fedex

All my best wishes for your July

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
