I'm still alive!

I'm at camp Aloha now,  with ~45 other staff members,  ready for our kids to arrive tomorrow.  I was at camp Hive for a week, another camp in our foundation, doing Wilderness First Aid training,  CPR training and learning about the ropes courses and climbing towers i will be leading on. Moved over to Aloha a week ago where i have been crazy busy with PreCamp which is all about successful counselling and getting the place ready. It's been so full on since i arrived with lectures and physical work 8am-10pm and i am exhausted.
This place is so beautiful. Vermont is known as the green mountain state, and that sums it up perfectly. There's nothing but trees and mountains and lakes as far as you can see. Not right now though, now i am in the laundromat where there is free wifi! It's a very exciting concept!!
I live in a tent, but the canvas sides are hiked up so it is completely open to the elements - quickly realised you want your bed in the middle of the tent; when it rains here it really rains! But then it is scorching hot half an hour later. I spent a night camping out under the stars a few days ago. You can see Venus and Jupiter really bright! We had a cookout where we built a fire and cooked a stir fry over looking down over the lake. Then we huddled up in sleeping bags and fell asleep to the sound of the lake. It's incredibly peaceful. There's lots of wildlife too, chipmunks everywhere! And there's a herd of deer that live in the woods surrounding one of our ropes courses, a bald eagle lives nearby too!
Today is our first bit of time off, so everyone from all of the camps is here doing laundry and then off to the good 'ol Walmart.
Unfortunately i don't have time to upload any more pictures so i can't share how beautiful it is here, but as soon as i can, there's some amazing things to show you!
Much love from the US of A!!
