      @@its.ellegrace working as a Camp Counselor. This Summer is 10 onsite and 11 total (Covid shut camp down 1 year and it was virtual). Fun fact - I never even went to Camp until I started Counseling. My church's interim pastor was a Counselor and she was recruiting to go and Director of Children's Ministries (SS Program) convinced me to go my first Summer. Now the only ones from my church that still Council are me and my friend Danny (our AP).

    I watch a lot of packing videos when I’m getting ready for going somewhere or when I want to but I especially watch them when I think I’m done packing because I forget stuff very very easily so lists and videos and other people with better memory then me are very very important so for anyone planning on going on a trip here’s a great tip- have someone check what’s in your bag from top to bottom or if your going together check each other’s luggage it’s so so helpful

It might take a while but once you get to know them a bit more I’m sure you fit right in. Don’t be nervous you got this!
