Today was the first day of session 2. For this session it is not a school session, which means that the campers are not connected, but rather individuals or siblings that wanted to come to the camp. The way this session worked just happened that most of the campers that came up were on the military scholarship. So in this case, many of the campers did know each other.
The cycle of campers arriving is always the same. For this session I got to help plan the rule skit and the opening campfire for the first time. Although, I did have John help me build the actual fire.

For the second day on the island rotations went the same. I got to do the games rotation this time. I taught a few campers some South Korean games.
The only downside is that since last session I have been sick and feeling under-the-weather. Unfortunately, Quin, who was supposed to be my co-guide is also sick. With Christina stepping in to be my co-guide, we planned a trip to make new campsites.
The day ended with canoe practice; unfortunately one of the canoes swamped during the paddleing practice and one guide’s canoe got to practice and teach the campers a T- rescue.
Overall, today was very long for me and as excited as I am for trail tomorrow I am worried about my lack of energetic from being sick.
