I realized that I rarely talk about the great things the staff do on our nights and days off, so I will now.
Every session, the each staff member gets about 2-3 nights out and during the whole summer, we get about 4 days off total.
On our nights out in the beginning, most of us got together and went to Zichron Yaacov for food, drinks, and other shenanigans. The nights out have always been a really great reprieve and a way for the staff to get to know each other better in a non-stressful environment. I've always really enjoyed and looked forward to nights out because it gives me something to look forward to and it is also a really nice break.
Lately, we've all be really exhausted from constant work and lack if sleep, that we've had no energy to get everyone together to go out. So, the other night, a few if us decided to be lazy and order pizza, watch a movie, and just hang out away from the kids. We wound up watching Ted 2, which I've been wanting to see for awhile. The movie, the company, and the night in general was just great.
I have one more night and day off on Tuesday night and Wednesday where I'm going to Tel Aviv to shop and eat with a friend from camp. I hope it gives me some extra energy to get through these last days at camp.
I have really enjoyed reading about your camp experiences, both the good and the challenges; It's like you said, exhausting working with children, but you will take so much from this and will never forget it. Love you. :)
