Pre Camp.

after flying and sitting around in airports for what felt like 2 million hours, I finally arrived in Milwaukee USA...
i met up at the hotel with some other international staff and we headed to lunch, to a brewers baseball game and out for a few beverages...

i got to experience tailgaiting for the first time ever.... seriously why do we not have tailgaiting in australia??? being legally allowed to party and predrink in the car park is awesome!

the next day we hung out in the airport for a few hours waiting for the bus to camp to pick us up...

we played kings with water instead of alcohol...

yes, we are actually that cool!

then we hopped on a bus for a 4 hour trip to camp...

cue singing and dancing and lizzie mcguire movie watching...

oh and playing the ellen degeneres heads up game...

sooo funny, go download that app now!

finally we arrived at camp and it was so exciting to finally be in the place that i had seen sooo many photos of...

since then we've just been getting to know each other and how the camp operates...

team bonding activities, learning new songs and chants, making up dances, taking boat tours, and eating, eating, eating!

there is one computer that staff can use here and no wifi...

its kinda nice to not to have to worry about a phone or checking facebook regularly or anything...

but it also means i can't keep up to date with the blog world obviously, so sorry for the lack of comments etc.

we found out who our co-counselors are on sunday...

these are the people i am living with in cabin J for the next two months and will take care of our 11 campers with...

 
there were sheets of paper with all our baby photos on them and we had to find ours to see which group we were in...

i have 3 co's who are all american and have all been to the camp as campers and two have worked as counselors before too...

they are super nice girls, so im happy!!




we have a great cabin, with loads of space and showers so we dont have to walk to the shower house, such a bonus!!

On monday we went out to a high ropes course as a sort of bonding experience...

after a little struggling and cursing my lack of upper body strength i finally got to the top and was able to take a zip line ride to get back down, it was soooooo much fun :)

daily dose of... SUMMER

this is another scheduled daily dose post...
you know why?
I'M AT CAMP!!
(and i bet i'm loving it!!!)

i'm predicting that i've probably spent the last week meeting new friends, bonding, learning, playing in the lake, soaking in the sun's rays and generally enjoying everything that camp life has to offer.

so for those of you stuck back in australia's winter, a little dose of summer dreaming...
for those of you also experiencing america's summer this year, a reminder to enjoy it while it's here and make the most of summer 2013!

Summer Camp 2013

this is a scheduled post...
and you better get used to that idea around here for awhile!
you see, right now i should be well and truly in the US, meeting my new camp pals and possibly even already at camp hanging out by the lake and preparing for the campers of '13.

predeparture CCUSA meeting.

i don't usually bother to schedule posts...
but i am at camp for 2 months and then travelling...
i have no idea what internet access will be like, or if i'll even feel like blogging when i do have it...
and i don't want my millions of readers to miss out on my witty posts for three whole months!!

i will definitely try to keep you all up to date on my exciting adventures...
i already know that i will have thousands of stories to tell...
and hopefully i can get at least a few of them up here for you before my return to australia.

anyways, i'm off...
time to enjoy my trip of a lifetime!

daily dose of... TRAVEL

this is a scheduled post...
you wanna know why? (ofcourse you do, thus the rhetorical question!)
I'M ON A PLANE MOTHER TRUCKERS!
the time has come for me to hit up america...
so right now i'm probably somewhere above the ocean, or sitting and waiting waiting waiting waiting in an airport!

i thought on this friday we could all use a dose of travel inspiration...
i hope i never lose the desire to travel and see the world...
i love the opportunity for crazy new experiences and awesome new friends!!







more inspiration?
