Feast or Famine

Last Friday the camp was cancelled due to a number of reasons, but the main one being lack of attendance--famine.  However, my friend had the brilliant idea of changing the times of the camp--start earlier and no afternoon games-- and passing out some flyers over the weekend with my community counterpart.  Now roll around to earlier today and as we both showed up at 8:00 we were greeted by.....NOBODY!  As another one of my friends, guest counselor for the day, showed up at 8:10 we started to get a little nervous as NONE of the girls nor my community counterpart had showen up yet.  So I left my friends and went on a woMANhunt of La Boquilla at around 8:15.  I found my counterpart with six campers and we walked back to the school and waited.  We waited an entire hour and by 9:00 there were at least 40 campers that had arrived--Feast!!!!

We were not expecting a turnout like this as last week we averaged around 12-15, a much more manageable number.  We soon split the girls into groups according to age and assigned each group a sticker.  The girls in the youngest group got pizza stickers, the middle group got animal stickers, and the oldest group got smily face stickers.  Then we went outside and PLAY(ED) BALL!
