I just got back to WSC from camp this weekend and it was great. We had our November WACkY program which is for kids 6-16 to come for the weekend and have a little session of camp. The camp is Barton, which is a diabetes camp but on this weekend the kids could bring a friend or sibling who doesn't have diabetes. I was a counselor for the boys group who aged from 7-15. When I got my cabin assignment I thought it was going to be awful because I haven't been with the boys group at all since it is in the summer and on the weekends they put the guy counselors with the boys. But this weekend since there was only one guy counselor, Tom, it was him, Ashley and me in the cabin with all the boys. They turned out to be a pretty fun group but were a lot more difficult than the girls usually are.
We had a talent show, played skeletons in the closet, sardines, diabetes bobsled, and ga-ga (which is the best game in the entire world.)
The food was also amazing because it was done by a different person than the summer food is, and since we had only 46 campers this weekend and about 20 or so staff, they were able to buy better food. My favorite was breakfast this morning because we had sausage bread which is the greatest food at CBC.
The only thing I didn't like about this weekend was that I had to do 12s and 3s in the same night. That means that at midnight, and 3am you have to go downstairs and check the kids blood sugars. The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour because if it is out of range you have to treat it and wait for it to go in range before you can go to bed. On top of that, I was in the only cabin with bunk beds so I was climbing up them trying to prick fingers while also trying to hold onto the bed, it was harder than it sounds.
