Greenwoods Camp

Hi Everyone! I am at my summer camp in Michigan now after having a great time with Lois and Pete on west side of the US. Saw some amazing things and people on our journeys of 4500 miles or so - the scenery is incredible in some of the national parks over here. Its been a big change spending all day teaching kids waterskiing and climbing all day and then sleeping in a bunkroom with 15 other fourteen and fifteen year olds but a great experience all the same!

Missing everyone back in Chch, and missing the cold believe it or not! It gets unbelievably hot and humid here - am thankful for the periods I have on the lake instead of on the climbing wall! The camp has mainly Jewish kids from affluent families so they are quite used to all the toys. They are great kids though and its been an amazing experience getting to know them, and hopefully be a positive influence on them! The counselors, all 200 of them (the camp has a 3:1 ratio) are from the US, UK, Australia, South Africa and of course good old Land of the Long White Cloud! There are pages I could right about the fun and experiences we had over the last two weeks so hopefully I can waffle on about them in the next blog!

Better let the next person on the box jump in but until next time Adios!
