I wish I could paint this photo as clearly as I see it. This year was an excellent environment. Definitely the best-knit atmosphere for many years. The staff all coming together so late in the winter season was the first dog that this summer was going to be epic. Bahaha, and epic I was! I feel that I was able to keep my focus, energy, and motivation to change throughout the season. This last week has been a hard week to focus though because of the pressure of all of the first-year staffers to create the camp environment after camp ends. People were hooking up left and right, and with my current status, keeping focus on children was almost impossible. Things have become better after  wooing out what is going on in small group discussions, but it still hurts me. I may not ever. cross that line. In other news, I have been able to create the intensity with every week Ive attended with the exception of this trying week. The love is here, but focus with the campers in proportion to a single staff member is off. It might be nice to study if anything could be different as apart from other weeks. This will be for another time. I am exhausted. I was worried I was going to step on people's boundaries this summer, and I can say I have, but Jeremiah and Elijah have been SO grateful. It is important to never allow that to deter my focus on remaining humble. I MUST not step out of protocol or human feelings and relations to move forward. The leadership staff have performed well. Jen Yee understands that her job does not put her in the spotlight. Than understanding, I believe, has really allowed respect to be universal. She also does a great job at doing to worst jobs with the best jobs. Truly, she has done well. Again, how I want to paint this picture. Camp has run efficiently, with focus, and with passion.
