Yes...another camp has been completed. The longest one is over and everyone is now attempting to rest and regain their sanity before the final kids camp which is another social services camp, starting on Wednesday! Few things to catch u up on with regards to music camp! Found out that the guy who kept referring to me as beauty and future wife is in fact Destiny's older brother...oh its funny how the world works! Destiny became increasingly protective over me towards the end and shouted at anyone did as much as rolled their eyes as me telling the to be quiet...in fact i had to sit between her and another girl cos she was so determined to start a fight with her....the other girl didnt help either...continuously retaliating to all of Destiny's comments...some kids eh! On ... read more

Well we are like mid-way into music camp now...its quite cool to walk through camp and hear a load of little kids sing or play some form of instrument! The majority of them listen as well...thats quite nice! Programme staff have more time off than usual because there are music classes here instead of clubs and our programme areas have to be shorter so that they can fit everything musical in...its nice but harder on the councellors because they have to get their kids from one place to another. The councellors are also under quite a lot of pressure at the moment as well because of two staff members getting fired...everything that the councellors do now is monitored. They have been told to do some weird things like be in the bathroom and bedrooms with the ... read more

So as u can see one of the animals died...yes it was bye bye for the Iquana called Issac. I really really hope it wasnt my fault and have been told over and over again by other staff members that it wasnt but im not so convinced. Basically it happened during a girl class i was teaching...it started making funny faces then didnt move. The kids all commented that it looked like it was dead but i didnt want to confirm it right in front of them so just said it was sleeping with its eyes open...sounds silly i kno. When i managed to check it for myself when the kids had left it was all floppy and limp so yer it was dead. Felt so guilty that i had killed an animal that i cried ... read more

Well as you may or may not have worked out by the title...my position in camp has now changed. I am no longer horse director but am nature director instead. How is this different i hear you cry??? Basically nature looks after rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, a snake, an iguana, a tortoise, fish, 2 birds, frogs, goats, pigs, Molly (the miniture horse), goats and some roosters. Quite a lot eh! Why the change??? Well they needed a rec director (sport director) and the assistant horse director is really good at sports. I also dont let the kids ride the horses because i dont feel as though it is safe enough and i wouldnt ride the horse myself whereas the former nature guy is crazy so he will. The former nature guy also doesnt teach the kids ... read more

Guess what....God has blessed me again! He has brought a new addition to the horse area....her name is Molly and she is a miniture horse i.e. a shetland pony! Woop! Finally something which i am really familiar with. She seems really sweet but she is quite young and so far the kids go mental around her. They brought her up to my club today and they all ran towards her....so much for safety...some kids really have a deathwish. They actually stopped after i told them to tho....cinncinati kids would not have. Actually jumped off the tall pole. Took quite a bit of talking myself into it and encouragement. When i was standing on the top it was shaking so much cos of the amount my body was shaking. The platform on top of the pole was ... read more
