A Real Camp Wife Experience

So here is a story about something that completely fits the title of my blog.  Today I was working in the Office at Camp on the summer staff work schedule, and my husband comes into my office and asks me if I want to be a Cabin Leader for the next week of camp.  Apparently they are short female cabin leaders and I have the week off from watching the kids, so I am actually able to do this!  I thought my cabin leading days were over and now they aren't!!!!!  I am super excited!  If I hadn't gotten married and moved to Camp, I probably wouldn't be able to cabin lead at all, so I am extremely excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So Life As A Camp Wife gets me the opportunity to Cabin Lead!!!!!

My husband is directing this camp so I know it will be stressful for him, but I am excited because I can let him know how things went from an insider perspective.  As Camp employees it is easy to look at a camp and say "that went well" without knowing how the week actually went.  But Campers and Cabin Leaders give a different view of the week.  They are the ones who will tell you if the week was effective, if they enjoyed it, if the understood the lessons and things.  It is their stories that give you the true success of a camp.
I am pretty sure I will be wiped at the end of the week, but it will be worth it.  Cabin Leading is always worth it.
