Programming

The past couple days consisted of programming, making posters, painting our clipboards, and adopting our new Disney names. To program we had to pick out activities for the kids every day for the month of July and do a write up for each activity. Each week of camp also has a theme, so to make it more fun for the kids we try to theme our activities. For each theme week we also have to make a big poster. I got to help make the Willie Wonka poster which will be the theme in a couple weeks. Aside from the themed weeks, every day camp counselor has adopted a Disney persona. I chose to be Ms. Eeeva (with 3 e’s) from the movie Wall-e. I love hearing the kids say my name with their high-pitched voices. But lets just say its really hard to NOT to introduce myself as Nichelle and that I’ve already accidentally did it once. Whoops. Good thing the camper didn’t care that I had just revealed my name to him. The kids will guess our names all summer but we will only tell them at the very end. In the process of adopting this new persona, we got to personalize out clipboards (see the picture below). I must say I am very pleased with the name I picked for myself considering I was going to pick Ms. Scar from The Lion King. I probably would have scared the kids away.
