Staff TRaining underway

Staff training started over the weekend...so far so good. Long hours has them focused and attentive...and appreciative of that 2 hours of free time at night!

Some of the highlights:

We have a mascot, a black panther as "performed" by Ross, our New Zealand counselor. His international night program dealt with the question "Where is Old Zealand".

Liam our Scottish counselor showed a picture of himself in a kilt. He also showed a picture of an exotic animal in Scotland - a pigeon.

CPR and First Aid was yesterday....special thanks to Lee who taught all day long. I had the lifeguards...so I put them through the rigors of swimming with anchors and such. Raymond set the all time record with the anchor swim - 36 seconds, followed by Maria at 38 seconds, who is recovering from a broken foot in February.

We also have done Rock Climbing, Ages and Stages of Development, and a host of other important activities. The new staff members are adjusting well - thanks to leadership of our returners.

Enjoy the day...
