A Status Report from Far Hill Head Counselor, Becca "Uno Champ" Ballinger

Hey there, folks. This is Becca, head counselor, reporting from the Far Hills location! I cannot believe we are already half way through the summer. I guess they weren't lying when they said time flies when you're having fun.

Bloggin' up a storm in the office!

I am currently clad in my favorite pajama pants (elegantly patterned with tea cups). No, I didn't forget to get dressed this morning. It's pajama day! The campers and counselors are all partaking in a makeshift slumber party today. But pajama day couldn't hold a candle to our Halloween in July last week. I was surrounded by the scariest of masks and coolest of costumes.

Yesterday was quite possibly THE GREATEST WET DAY EVER. But maybe I'm a little bias. I'm pretty sure we broke the record in the water balloon toss with two campers making it up to ten--count 'em--TEN tosses! But once we broke out the water shooters I had to take shelter behind a bush. These campers came up with the ingenious idea to use three shooters at a time making our poor counselors three times as drenched.

I've been waiting all week for a few campers to finish the original stories they've been working on. Tomorrow they are finally going to let me read the final draft! So far I've heard them talking about fairies and space and adventure, oh my! Perhaps I'll be reading the first works of the
future J.K. Rowlings?! Who knows!

Well, I'm off to the playground where the campers and I are going to sprawl out under the warm summer sun and get our reading on. Stay cool, Jersey!
