First week volunteering at Camp Moose Lake in the kitchen 2016 part two

Hello,
This is part two of my first week at Camp Moose Lake.

 Wednesday August. 10th
Today I woke up feeling not that great. I spent most of my day in bed reading and taking a long nap.
 In the evening I was feeling better, so I went back into the kitchen to help serve supper. For supper we had perogies, farmer sausage and peas. After we cleaned up supper, I went to fireside, after fireside I went to bed.

 Thursday August 11th
Today is the last full day of camp for the juniors.
 This morning for breakfast we had French toast with syrup, bacon and fruit. We finished up serving and eating breakfast, and then we cleaned it up. After breakfast was done, we started chopping toppings for lunch. We had a break after that.  The maintenance people made a fire by the mini lodge, Sarah and I went to join them to roast marshmallows.
 Our break was over, so we headed back into the kitchen to assemble pizzas. We had pepperoni, cheese, deluxe, perogies, and vegetarian pizza. and carrots and celery.
   If you have ever worked at Moose lake as a staff or in the kitchen, then you will know that pizza is always a favourite, and is finished with minimal or no leftover! Lunch all cleaned up and  the dishes were put away, so it was time for my break. During my break I relaxed and wrote in my journal. My break was over, so I headed back to the kitchen to make supper.
 Tonight was theme meal. the theme was Olympics, since the Olympics were going on. it seemed like a good theme to have. We came up with the idea that we would come up with names for the food. We thought of Synchronized spaghetti with 400 "meat"-er race (sauce), "ski"-sar salad, and gold medal garlic bread. Everybody thought the names were great. For dessert we had jello shaped into rings, as the Olympic rings.
Night snack was ice cream with chocolate cookies, with chocolate and caramel sauce. the kitchen was all cleaned up, and I went to fireside and then to the mini to sit upstairs and hang out. it was getting late so I went to bed.

  Friday August 12th
Friday is the last day of junior week.
 For breakfast we had waffles with syrup, fruit, yogurt and cereal. breakfast was done, and cleaned up. we started on lunch after breakfast. Lunch was all ready to go, I just had to take it outside to the picnic tables by the mini lodge. For lunch we had chicken burgers, veggies, chips, and vegetarian chili. Lunch was served and ate. we loaded up the gator to take everything back to the kitchen, and cleaned up lunch.
 After we cleaned up lunch, we did the end of the week kitchen clean. We finished cleaning just in time for the end of the week program. the program was over, and all the campers were gone. we had a staff meeting, In the staff meeting we talked about when we felt most connected or in the moment. I said that I felt in the moment at fireside. Nothing particular about fireside, but sitting on the log, singing and listening to peoples stories, it just felt beautiful.
 Some of the other staff were staying the weekend. for supper we took out some leftovers. I had spaghetti, peas and chicken. for dessert I had a cookie with a chai tea latte. After supper we wanted to watch a movie or two, At first we wanted to watch cheaper by the dozen one and two. we were looking through the movies that they had, and we found the new parent trap. The movie started late, and I was really tired, so I didn't make it very long. I went to bed.

  Saturday August 13th
This morning I slept in until 11:00, and it felt great! When I woke up, I didn't get out of bed right away. I read for a while. by the time I got out of bed and dressed, it was lunch time. some of the staff made cheese bagels and tomato soup, so that's what I had for lunch. After I finished lunch I went back to the mini to read city of glass and have a shower.
 I took this day to do pretty much nothing and just relax. it was getting close to supper time, and I was getting a bit hungry. I went in the kitchen to find something to eat for supper. some of the staff were in the kitchen talking about going to Roseau for supper. Five of us went to Earls drive-inn. I had chicken fingers and fries. When we were finished eating we headed back.
 by the time we got back, it was late so I went to bed.

I hope you enjoyed reading the second half of my first week of my week. My week is too long so I have to split it up in parts, so look for part two and  the rest of weeks.

I hope you keep reading and enjoying my blog.

First week volunteering at Camp Moose Lake in the kitchen 2016 part one

Hello,
How are you doing today?
 This time last summer I was at Camp Moose Lake volunteering in the kitchen. I decided to do the same thing this summer, but instead of two weeks I am doing three weeks.

      Sunday August 7th 2016
Today is the day I head to camp for three weeks.  The first week is junior week, this is also the week that I am in the kitchen with my sister and my cousin. 
 When we got to camp the first thing we did was drop our stuff off in the mini lodge. when all are beds were made we went to the main lodge for the staff meeting. After the staff meeting, I went into the kitchen to start on supper. For supper we were having mashed potato's, gravy, roast beef, peas, and salad. The mashed potato's were done so I just cut cucumbers for the salad.  Supper was done and cleaned up, I had a break. The campers were arriving, so I went outside of the lodge and sat on the bench with my sister and my cousin Sarah while the campers were arriving at camp. When all the campers were here, we went to the R.E.C field to play some games. We played Have you met Bob wiebe, Everyone's it, and Rock, Paper, Scissors extreme. Have you met Bob wiebe is a game that you can get to know campers, and staff names.
    Snack at Camp Moose lake on the first night is always cinnamon buns. But the sad thing is that they were already made before we got to moose, so we didn't get to help make them.  The snack are normally suppose to serve the snack, and there is one person from the kitchen to stay and supervise and make sure they know where everything is, and to sweep. I said that I would stay back for snacks, because I knew how things worked, because I have worked in the kitchen last summer.
I had nothing else to do so I started putting the cinnamon buns on plates. the staff came for snack and they did the rest, and after snack was done they did the dishes. I swept and went back to the mini lodge to play some games.  The three of us played speed, we played about two rounds of speed and then another staff joined in and played one more round. She brought Dutch blitz and the expansion pack, so we played a few rounds with more people. After that I went to bed.
 
     Monday August 8th 2016
Good morning.
I don't really like to admit this but we were a little late to the kitchen this morning because we didn't hear the alarm. Not the best start to the week.  For breakfast we were having pancakes with syrup, breakfast sausages, and fruit. everything was taken care off, so I just served the pancakes.
 After everybody was done eating and it was all cleaned up, we got some stuff ready for lunch and then took a break.  During my break I relaxed in my bed.
    My break was over and I went back to the kitchen to get things ready for tacos. Normally we have taco salad on the last day for lunch, this week we had hard shell tacos. I crushed up my taco shell because It was easier to eat taco salad that way. For dessert we had sheet brownie. I have had this before, but it has recently become my new favourite dessert.

  Tuesday August 9th 2016
     Good morning.  This morning for breakfast we had scrambled eggs, cereal and toast. After breakfast was finished I went to devo's. Devo's were finished so I went back to the kitchen and buttered the bread, and pulled apart cheese for grilled cheese. While we were assembling the grilled cheese, we opened up the window a bit to the listen to the singing during bible.
  The campers were going on campout tonight, so we were getting some stuff ready.
  All the campers and staff had left for campout. It was just the kitchen staff, and the nurse that stayed back. The three of us went for a swim. It was a short swim, because the water was cool. for supper we took out all the leftovers. I made a taco salad with the leftover taco shells.
we decided to watch some movies. We set up the projector and laptop, and then picked a movie. we decided on despicable me 2, and then after that was over, we decided to also watch step up two.
After the movies were over I went to bed because it was late.

I hope you enjoyed reading the first half of my week. My week is too long so I have to split it up in parts, so look for part two and  the rest of weeks.
