The rest of the morning was spent preparing for camp. Planing opening ceremony skits, finishing craft and game prep, as well as discuss how we will do the other skits (talent show, salvation, and closing ceremony). Most all of the camp is sketched out nicely. The afternoon the team had rest time.
The evening was a time to build relationships. We played a quick game to find out where we would sit for dinner. Each person was given a card with an animal name on it and the people had to make that animal sound to find the others in the group and sit with them. The interesting thing is that apparently animals also
speak 2 different languages. Of course I rigged the game so that there was an interpreter at each table as well as volunteers, counselors, team members and interns. After dinner we played a couple of games. Whamp, a name learning game, which ironically I was dubbed the name Tanya and Tanya was given my name. I don't know how this helped anyone remember names, however It was hilarious because neither of us remembered that we didn't get to keep our own names (unlike the majority of the group who did have their own name). And after playing "Train Wreck" we had ice cream, coffee and tea.
Followed by S'mores. Which apparently most of the counselors
had never had before (You can't buy marshmallows here). It was fun to teach them some of our tasty traditions, and they loved it. I think one of our smallest counselors had about ten, and we had
another man who was roasting the marshmallows like shish kebab rotisserie style about 5-6 on a stick over the fire. Sharing many smiles, laughs, and stickiness. I think that tonight was a hit and a great time to get to know each other a little more.
