Subject: From the Perspective of: Carmen Larios

Arts and Crafts Counselor, Mexico City

Today was the first day of second session, and at the beginning, I thought it was not going to be that much fun, because it seemed as if camp turned into a small group. Then as the day went by, I realized how nice it is to have small groups in arts and crafts. In the beginning the girls hardly talked which felt weird, because I was used to all the noise and chattering. After second period I taught volleyball which was the first time I did it. It was fun even though it got really hot. After our game all we wanted was to jump in the lake. All the girls did a great job in their volleyball lesson, and of course, Laura and Carmen, the amazing counselors, did a great job, too. When this class was over, I went swimming in the lake. It was great! I think I had as good a time as the kids, going on the slide and in the tube.
After free dip we had lunch. This was my first day on the vegetarian menu which I thought was pretty good.!
Three more periods of arts and crafts and it was dinner time. Then evening activities which was learning old songs. The kids seemed to enjoy singing.
When evening activities end, it's time to go to bed. That means it's time to chase the girls to take showers, etc. This time it wasn't hard.
As soon as the third bell rang, we all ran to closure. We had a guest, "Famous Debbie", the best letter writer in the world. She broke records writing 79 letters to Bruce in one month.
When all the girls were in bed, we had a staff meeting to discuss days off and other matters before we went to bed.
Before going to sleep I realized it had been a great day looking at familiar faces and all the new ones, almost all of them wearing a big smile.
