(6/28-7/2)
The second week of camp was again a success. This week was definitely a little different but still good and very exhausting. The weather was very hot all week, this left me an icky sticky mess - which I am quickly getting used to!! We of course had tons of songs, games, and a lot of the swimming pool! I was still with the 5-6 year olds this week, luckily our numbers were down to only 24 so that really makes a huge difference! However, we get new kids each week so you have some who are really are getting the hang of how things work, but then you have to still spend a few days teaching the new kids how things work!

This week for our field trip we went to see a movie at the theater on base and we saw Toy Story 3!! It was a GREAT movie! I loved it. Another realization I came to this week was the extreme difference between being a summer camp counselor and being a teacher! I am not usually used to being a kids friend, I am used to being their teacher, so I definitely need to try and relax a bit and enjoy "summer camp" because it is suppose to be fun and not "strictly business" (this is how I refer to myself very often - "strictly business"). So it is a little bit of an adjustment I need to make. So I survived another week of camp, including exhaustion, long work days, and lots of hot sun. However I am absolutely loving Italy and just the fact that I am here!!! Ciao
Little people skit - another person is feeding the person sitting - hilarious. I wish I could post more pictures, but for the privacy of the kids at camp I can't. Just know it is amazing.
