7/13
2 camps in a row…Elementary camp = done. Boy were those kids a handful, but fun. (No worries, I'm not hinting at changing my major or something crazy, but those kids were a little bit crazy and overwhelming, more so for other AC’s on the trip). It was a 70 student private school camp. The kids were running around like crazy. Trying to talk to 11 year olds who have no clue what you are talking about can be a little bit frustrating, but they were adorable.  Super cute! Dance party consisted of kids running in circles, doing limbo, macarana, YMCA, etc. Introducing the concept and a bonfire and s’more to Japanese children is fun too. The kids love it! We also taught them different camp songs like Baby Shark, Hokey Pokey, Bananas, Singing in the Rain, etc. I’m not sure how much they really understand from it, but they like doing the gestures along with us. We are now in Lake Yamanka and are doing a 210 student camp with team 5 and 6. That means combining Dance Party, Carnival, Bonfire, and everything else. Sounds like a blast to me!
I’ve opened up the Cliff bars, I’ve decided I’m not a fan of tofu, and many of the things we are served, I’d expect to be hot, but they’re cold. I’d really like a Diet Coke ha, absolutely cannot be found here. We walked to the gas station last night and stocked up on snacks. Some of the camps serve buffet style, but others serve at your table. It’s all an experience. I’ll write more soon! Onto the middle school camp, then a facility stay.

  1. TOFU. YUMMMM. I'm not that big of a fan of it either. I don't blame you. Have fun with the kiddies!
