| Frontier Staff Cabin... All Internationals... |
 |
| Dance Party Glow Sticks |
So the first on camp i spent in Sherando and it was Pretty cold. But the next morning me and Bear had look around and found the showers bumping into various staff and then headed to our first morning meeting. I was in Girl Power with Mac, Pickles, Zazu, Pinky and Luna and they were all great, and explained everything to me which was also great. I was on the green so i kept the girls entertained while the rest were arriving which was also cool. We were to live in frontier, which is a platform tent living unit, and out tent was completely international. So we all hung our respective flags to show the girls where were were and for decorative purposes.

| Mac had a bright idea! |
During the week the girls had a dance party in which Mac got glow sticks and made 'girl power' out of it which was a nice touch and we had a disco ball that didn't work so she put glow sticks inside. It worked to an extent! We then danced around, played games and sang songs together including a song about a decomposing moose... i was kinda shocked when i first heard it but it was all the same fun anyway. The girls had me doing hair wraps for them too before it was bed time.

| One of the feel good things of Camp! |
Mail came in everyday after lunch during F.O.B (feet on bed) which was an hour of rest for the girls where they could write home, read, and draw, talk and in my case do hair wraps for them and the Art Gallery Girls, who also lived in Frontier.We got letters from the girls as we'd written woodland fairy mail for those who hadn't got mail and they wrote back. We also got a staff card thanking us which was sweet.

| Luna's Handy Work! |
 |
| Dirt that tastes quite nice... |
So I'm sat writing this out on the picnic tables as im staying up for bed checks when Luna comes back with a wreck that shes taken from the kitchen. Now it was unwanted and from monday night. It's got crushed oreo, gummy worms, pudding and chocloate chips in and it tastes sooo good! She then changed the wreck order and messed around with it. It was fun. That was essentially my first staff bonding.

Today we went to Eagle Rock which was pretty epic. The 30 minute walk (or so) along the river and the trees was really nice, reminded me of my DofE days. The view was amazing to say the least, nothing but Forrest and valleys and hills for miles and miles; as far as the eye could see. We took a group photo and ate our trail mix. Our melted trail mix which was now a pool of chocolate, marshmallow, raisins (not bad) and salty crisps. An interesting taste to say the least. We took pictures and after a little while we made our way back down, looking at the 'elbow' tree and the girls worked on their campfire skit. At campfire i got a shout out wand which was pretty cool, just that reassurance that i was doing my job properly and the girls sang the song they'd made. The kids go home tomorrow. I can't believe this first week is over already, but i cant wait for next week already. More campers, more tales to tell.
