Orientation Week aka "O Week"

Hey guys:) So I am FINALLY here. Yay!! It is so great to be "home" as we all call it:) We are going to be in orientation until June 8th I think so we have a lot of time to prepare and hang out with the rest of the team. We have been hard at work getting ready for campers but we've also been having fun too! There is a new cook at camp so the food has been AMAZING! We're all getting a little nervous though that we're gonna put on some weight! haha Good thing we have to be so active all summer because we will need it.

They have all the team spread out in different cabins for O week. I'm in a cabin with 7 other girls and it's been nice getting to know the new girls! We have all been so tired though that we go to sleep right away and wake up at the last possible minute. Our days start early and we usually have morning devotions at 8 am:) And when the campers are here it's usually 7:30! haha Yayyy camp! But it's all good because you come to appreciate every part of the day and it's nice to see the world at such an early time since normally I'm sleeping wayyyy past that time! But anyway, we are all really excited to be here. Tomorrow morning we're going out into town to go to church which is always fun. We get to meet some really great people and it's also nice to get off camp grounds for a little bit and into civilization!

Well, we have a little bit of free time left and then we're going to bed! We need lots of rest because we still have a lot to get ready! Please keep the whole team in your prayers:) Love you all!!!!

LoveLoveLove,
Shannon

May 2009

Hi all:) I can't believe I'm quickly approaching my third summer on team working for the one and only Warren W Willis summer camp! I'm really excited about all the new adventures I will be having. I can't wait to see all the other counselors and all my campers again! I head out to good old Fruitland Park on May 28th. We will be having team orientation until June 8th I think so the we will be having a lot of fun getting ready for all the kids to come. Orientation week is always such a blast. We have to get a lot of work done but we also get to play a lot too!! I just can't wait to see everyone. They are truly some of my favorite people and like another family to me. I don't get to see a lot of the team members much throughout the year so I always miss them and get so excited to see them:) Well I will keep you posted as I get closer to leaving. I'm excited to tell you all my stories throughout the summer. Please keep in touch and tell me about your summer too!! 

Love, Shannon
