Nurse's Corner

It’s a cool night and we are out sitting by the bonfire, I have a marshmallow on a stick in one hand (the marshmallow will be burnt to perfection), a great new friend sitting next to me and I am singing a repeat after me song.  I can hear the song in my head now…….

“My momma
She gave me a dollar
She gave me a dollar
She told me to buy a collar
She told me to buy a collar
But I didn’t buy no collar
But I didn’t buy no collar
Instead I bought some bubblegum
BAZOOKA, ZOOKA bubblegum
BAZOOKA, ZOOKA bubblegum
BAZOOKA, ZOOKA gum!”


This will be me and my fellow campers in a few short days. Camp Spirit is right around the corner. I will not lie I am not only excited but also a little nervous. I know many of my fellow campers are also a little nervous, I want you to know it’s OK to be nervous. We will all be nervous together and soon after camp begins the fun and laughter will replace those nerves.  There is sooooooo much to do at camp like arts & crafts, archery, boating & fishing, horses, sports & recreation at the gym, swimming, theater, mini-golf, and a climbing wall for the older campers. You will get to eat in a huge mess hall that is always filled with laughter and friends and the food is actually pretty good. Many of you have probably already started packing. I have started but really need to pick up the pace so I don’t forget anything. Remember to have a packing list, check things off and go over the list at least twice. I can already check toothpaste, shorts, a hairbrush, and tennis shoes off my list. Boy, I have a long way to go. Don’t forget to pack your Factor and supplies. We want everyone to be safe at camp. I look forward to seeing all my fellow campers next week. Make sure to say Hi or just give me a great smile and wave J
