Looking forward to our last camp of the Summer season. The Elementary Kids will be coming in on Monday Morning. This group is the little fellers (As Bishop Melvin Melvin R Shuler liked to call them) and when you are a cabin leader they will follow you all day long. Some of them have never been away from home and they will attach themselves to you. The more experienced kids will drift and try your patience. This was the group that I enjoyed the most when I was cabin leader. A couple of years ago we had a kid that had spent most of the day on Tuesday crying, the cabin leader was frustrated and was ready to sent the kid home... I asked the leader have you asked what they want?.... the blank silent stare let me know that no, they had not even asked the kid what his problem was. I went over to the kid and said son, what is the matter? - he replied I want to talk to my mommie... to which I pulled out my phone and let him call home... 5 minutes later he was fine, ate his meal and was ready to play! I looked at the young man who was Cabin Leader and stated son, hang in there, you will learn!
