Rainy Days
This week was very tough at summer camp. The kids' favorite parts of the day are swimming and playground time, which we couldn't do because of the rain. Most of this week was spent indoors and the kids were very antsy. I tried to take them to the gym to play as much as possible and we did many arts and crafts activities. By Friday, the whole class was exhausted and bored, despite my efforts to keep them entertained. 10 of the 17 kids at summer camp on Friday had major meltdowns. I dried more tears on this day than I have the entire summer. Hopefully this next week goes much smoother!

I remember summer camp days. I worked for a YMCA as a summer fun camp counselor for 3 years. Everything you have described brings back many wonderful memories. We fortunately had an indoor pool so weather was never a problem, however, by July, the children were all swam out and swim time was not as fun as it was in the beginning of the summer. My favorite part of summer camp was the friendships I gained and the fun times we had. I worked with my husband before we dated 2 of those summers. Ah, good memories.
