Those moments that camp counselors all know about!

APPARENTLY MY MOMS BOYFRIEND HAD JURY DUTY WITH JOHN MULANEY AND WAS SITTING NEXT TO HIM

[amvs]

imagine going to the jury and seeing him like i wouldn’t be able to keep it together emotionally i’d just be disqualified the plaintiff would be like “he stole my assets” and i’d be like I Have Fired The Criminal Catcher

John Mulaney Gives You The Death Sentence (ASMR)

[thatgirlonstage]

Imagine being on trial and you look over at the jury and John Mulaney is just sitting there. How do you handle that, psychologically. How do you not conclude your life has turned into a piece of absurdist theatre

Last Day of Camp feelings

That feeling when your team wins Color War

Sorry I’ve been on such a huge hiatus type deal and basically disappeared

I took time off from camp to prepare for curriculum switches over the summer (I was being moved around grades and courses a little bit until something tenure track showed up in my district), and then spent last summer preparing to move.

But (fingers crossed!), I might be coming back to a camp job this summer, so I’ll probably have new focus for this tumblr again!!!

Okay, if Gryffindor is the house of doing stupid, maybe dangerous things because it’s fun, Slytherin is the house of doing the same things because fuck you, Sarah, don’t tell me what not to do

[slytheringirls]

And Ravenclaws do stupid, dangerous things sometimes because SCIENCE!!

Hufflepuffs do stupid, dangerous things because our friends are doing it and SOMEONE responsible better be involved

You know, this description actually makes sorting a hell of a lot easier.

Finally I can figure it out. I’m a Hufflepuff.

[alevandanarm]

But like. What if I’m all of them?

[the-tall-librarian]

I was always the rule-abiding kid who dressed whenever friends deviated from the rules. Hufflepuff.

[campcounselormoments]

Ohhh I'm the Hufflepuff in this 🙂🙃🙂🙃

New Film Chronicles Virginia Woolf's Romance With Vita Sackville-West

Where are all my Bloomsbury Group(ies)? A film chronicling the romance between Virginia Woolf—novelist, essayist, and foundational feminist thinker—and fellow author Vita Sackville-West is in the works.

why did molly weasley have kids named bill, charlie, percy, fred, george and ronald and then call her last one ginevra

[somethingsuitablywittyandmorbid]

They’re all derivatives of the Knights of the round table. Ginevra comes from Guinevere.

This is my first year being a camp counselor and I'm getting a pack list together. I'm wondering if you could tell me your pack list / things to add to a basic pack list? I think it would be really helpful, thanks!

-Reusable water bottles (try to pack an extra in case something happens to one if possible)

-Far more socks than you think you will ever need in your lifetime

-First aid supplies and any personal products you may need for hygiene

-Plain smelling soaps/shampoos (bugs will love the fun scented stuff)

-Extra sunscreen and bug spray

-An extra pair of sneakers/hiking boots

-Shower shoes (flip flops, water shoes, crocs, etc.)

-At least one or two extra pairs of clothing

-A poncho

-Silly crafts and games (I used to bring stuff like Word Around and sidewalk chalk)

-If you like pranks and feel comfortable with nicer pranks, any supplies for that

-Stuff for “Wacky Wednesday” type days

Question! I am going to work as a cabin leader this Friday. One week training then the kids arrive on the 5 or 6. I'm excited but vey nervous. I have been to this camp before, I'm worried I won't make friends and will have trouble getting the hang of it. I have not done a CIT program or vilunterring with this camp only attended years ago. Any tips for first time cabin leaders and what to expect, thank you !

My main thing would be to be yourself around co-workers as far as being new.   As far as getting the hang of it goes, it helps to ask questions or run ideas by a mentor of some sort if you aren’t sure of things. But part of learning is making mistakes, so if something doesn’t go according to plan, don’t panic!

If you’re true to yourself and show genuine interest in your campers and their well being, it will show. That is the best way to establish rapport at camp, regardless of how new to it you are!
