 |
| Summer is here for REAL! |
 |
| Because the SENIOR STAFF... |
 |
| Is here... |
 |
| For REAL! |
 |
| And we're so thrilled... |
 |
| That they've joined us... |
 |
| And we can all work together to jump-start Summer 2018! |
 |
| Jump-start it with keys, and with radios... |
 |
| And with a fair-share of laughing too much. |
 |
| Senior Staff Training is like you'd expect! |
 |
| There's a big board! |
 |
| There's staring at the big board! |
 |
| Thinking about the big board. |
 |
| Writing on the big board! |
 |
| And staring at the big board all over again. |
 |
| But that's not all we do! |
 |
| We also play Camp-y games! |
 |
| "Wait. |
 |
| With no campers... |
 |
| And no counselors... |
 |
| The (basically) fully-grown adult Senior Staff... |
 |
| Spend the week playing a bunch of Camp-y games?" |
 |
| That's exactly what we do. |
 |
| "Well, then... |
 |
| I bet they're some of those Camp-y games... |
 |
| That hold a whole bunch of leadership lessons... |
 |
| And teach all sorts of really useful skills... |
 |
| To help run an insanely successful summer camp... |
 |
| All while having a blast in the woods... |
 |
| And building a trusting and functioning team... |
 |
| While you PLAY those Campy Games!" |
 |
| Well. Yes. You have it right. |
 |
| Those are precisely... |
 |
| The kind of Camp-y games they are. |
 |
| And take it from the Senior Staff of L.G. Cook 4-H Camp... |
 |
| You haven't really learned leadership... |
 |
| Until you've learned the lessons... |
 |
| Involved in hitting an orange... |
 |
| With hammer... |
 |
| Over... |
 |
| Over again... |
 |
| And then... |
 |
| Gathered around with your team... |
 |
| To sit in a field... |
 |
| And talk about it all night long. |
