I was back with Hunter this year but this time we were in the main lodge. We shared a room with Alex, a new camper. Hunter grew a good bit since last year – but he still loved frogs. As soon as he arrived he wanted to go find frogs in the creek.

Another change was Hunter actually got in the lake. Previous years he would hang around the edge for a few minutes then leave. This year he actually got in the lake up to his shoulders. He even jumped off the dock a few times.

Hunters favorite camper is Naseem. Naseem can get right in Hunter’s face and tell him he’s being bad or to stop doing something and Hunter let’s her – usually he just smiles. Maybe it’s Naseem’s good nature and friendly personality.

For worship this year each of the campers were in a skit. In one skit Joanie had a tooth-ache and had a bad dream about a bad dentist with a big drill and shot. Naseem was the dentist and she wore an ugly mask. Kate S. was the mother and did a great job acting out her her prompts. All the skits were very entertaining. The last skit of the week was put on by some of the counselors. Milton’s performance as an old lady was one to remember.

It was also fun to see Peter again. Peter has been coming to camp since 1989. I still remember the little guy that used to run around pretending he was a ninja turtle or robo-cop. He’s now taller than I am. He did inform me that he has way to many problems with his business --- Private Detective and Match Maker.
