Night Owls 09

Mum is in America and I'm ridiculously jealous, so I thought I would share a little bit of my adventures from this time last year.

It was the 1st of August 2009 and I was having the time of my life at Camp Wapanaki, a Girl-scout camp in Hardwick, VT. It was the beginning of a new session and I was a Unit-Leader for two groups called 'Night Owls'. Think 16 extremely awesome, 11ish year old American girls, living in the wilderness with a 4 1/2 Extra awesome counsellors (me, 3 others, and lifeguard Katie who was with us during the nights), and no shortage of sugary foods. It was definitely one of my favorite/hardest/most rewarding weeks.

So here are some highlights.



Megan (Australia/Co-counsellor), in our awesome Tent.


4 of the Girls and their creation Mohammed. 'Why did you call the walking box mohammed?' "Because its a box..er :)" I was never that clever.



Counsellors during our Camp out. One of the funniest nights EVER!!! It was soo hot and we ate way to much chocolate, but we had alot of fun.



My first experience Tye-dyeing



I'm so proud of my creation :)



Our Night Swim in Lake Wapanaki
Our group was called 'Night Owls' so we had to plan night activities. Crazy hard to have energy during the normal day activities, then have an extra hour or two of activities during sleep time. Crazy, but soo much fun.



All the Girls after our swim, (I think we were being power rangers but I was pretty much asleep) I totally don't miss my purple shorts or my eyebrows, but I hard out miss my tan!



Me and Katie my fellow lifeguard, getting ready to take our girls on a sponanious/surprise Kitchen Raid.




Night Owls 'Hoot Hoooot' naaww I miss my girlies :(
