people i met at summer camp that would not be out of place in a lumberjanes-esque world
the australian exchange counselor who said “i’m washing my hands of all this weirdness. i’m going to chipotle.”
ma girl savannah who stole a 2lb gallon bag of chocolate chips
the female counselor who sighed very deeply and said, “if you must steal cougar’s socks, please don’t get me involved”
ppl named spooney and glitch and harrumph and jpeg
the CIT whose name was sebastian but who everyone unquestioningly called seabass
the group of girls who helped me bury a dead mouse in the woods
the girl who said “we should say some words for it at least, poor thing” and then whipped off the hood of her sweatshirt in respect
counselors who start crying in the mess hall because tonight’s dessert is pudding
counselors wearing absolutely ridiculous outfits because they’ve been here all summer and nothing is clean and their last laundry day they got into a bet of who could sneak up and glitterbomb the junior camp director first
the handful of australian counselors would always get into increasingly ridiculous rivalries
^(usually involving stealing forks from the others’ tables in the mess hall, ‘you told me i got out too many beverage cups & that i could never use that many so i guess i’m having orange juice, apple juice, water, tea, and coffee with my breakfast’, feinting each other out, sometimes over cliffs, purposefully playing taylor swift whenever the other walks into the art barn to make her angry, retaliating with bribing the sherwood units to sing frozen songs under her window, etc)
the female rugby-player counselor who sings while cheerfully annihilating logs with her favorite axe
this one girl who told us, while carving a block of soap, that every night when she is at home she sits down and watches fantastic mr. fox and carves soap
she had her full name and the entire alphabet two times over
very small child with painted-on sideburns
that one male counselor who never used a flashlight and was the fastest and most silent thing walking barefoot on two legs in the middle of the night who would just kind of appear out of the darkness when you were least expecting him
the elusive ginny who the med bay is named after who no one remembers but also no one questions that the med bay is called ginny’s
the guy counselor who lived on the ropes courses in the middle of the woods who was literally shaped like a bullet and had a voice like dr. nefario’s from despicable me but his name was buttercup
“i forgot cars exist but then again i’m 75% sure that i saw a ghost last night”
counselors who were glitterbombed on the first week of camp and have given up trying to wash it all off so they just shimmer gently where ever they go
i also want to point out that everyone is literally always like “wow!!! so many of the lumberjanes characters have dyed hair is there like a secret hair dye mission in camp!?” but literally the longer you stay at summer camp the bluer your hair gets
or some counselors grow green streaks and others go kind of purple
it just happens you get used to it
on a similar note about 85% of the counselors have at least one tattoo or piercing
counselors who climb up cliffs as shortcuts
the counselors who have literally been at camp for the past eight years and are as much a fixture as the moss that grows on the trees or the fact that ranch literally breaks some vital part of their camp every year
