Two more days. TWO MORE DAYS. I repeat, TWO MORE DAYS!! Oh where oh where has time gone? Seems like yesterday I gathered the idea to start a blog and now.. Well, here we are two days left in the countdown! But the blogging doesn't stop after Friday. (Well for two weeks I will be disconnected, but after that who knows when I'll be back on). Anyways, Reason number two I am excited for camp to start-Crazy games.
By crazy games I mean carpet ball, 9 square, gaga ball, and much more! I don't know what it is but LUL always has the craziest, silliest, funnest little games that you would have never thought about playing. Literally, last summer I tried the entire summer to master 9 square and did I?? Nope. But hey it sure was a fun process along the way. But, as I recall, I think I did get the most improved player. YAY! All that hard work pays off.
But why do I love these games so much? One word: conversation. When I get to play these games I get to talk to campers that are on my team and other teams. This is exciting because I feel like I am able to put myself out there and talk to campers that normally wouldn't say a word. I think it's important to let the campers know hey, I'm not perfect and I don't have all the answers but I am here for you. Wanna play gaga ball? OKAY! Wanna play 9 square? MY FAVORITE! Carpet ball? EVEN BETTER! See? It's just a fun experience being able to play games because it takes the intense week the campers may be having and turns it into a fun little adventure.
Speaking of adventures I'll tell you my adventure with gaga ball and why I am paranoid every time I am around the court. So this one time, last summer during orientation weekend, the year round staff thought it was a great idea to introduce us to the game and actually have us play a round. Harmless right? WRONG. I got hit in the face with the gaga ball, hopped out of the playing area and low and behold the ball hit me again! The ball kept following me everywhere I went it seemed. Pretty crazy, and a little painful but at the end of the day I was A-Okay and still returned as a staffer.
Til Tomorrow when we will have one day more! ahahahahha
