This week was more training, one of the activities we had to do included a situational scavenger hunt, which meant we had to follow clues to different parts of camp and at each place was a staff member acting out a situation that we may come across at camp for example campers using their phones, homesickness and running away, it was pretty fun and actually surprising helpful, our day off this week was the only chance the whole camp get the whole day off together,...
