It all starts by packing up my suitcase, and heading off to CMU to get on the bus to go to camp. My sister and I were riding the bus, because my sister got asked to be the bus captain. The bus ride was about 3 hours long. we had a stop in between in Steinbach for supper, we stopped at McDonald's/subway, and also to pick up someone.
We finally made to camp. I got my stuff off the bus and then headed to the mini lodge, in the mini lodge I had my own room, which was good. after I got settled I went into the kitchen to see the meal plan for the week. The rest of the kitchen staff came in to finish up the cinnamon buns, since I was on the bus, I did not get to help with the cinnamon buns. 😢 I cut veggies for tomorrow, since snack was taken care of. There was nothing for me to do after, except supervise snack. I went to join and play R.E.C. After rec was over I went back into the kitchen to make sure everything was out for snack. snack was over, and I had eaten my cinnamon buns, so I cleaned off the counters and drained the dish washer, then went to the mini. I went up to the loft and wrote for a bit, and then I went to bed,

Good morning, this morning I woke up at 6:00 but I went back to bed, because I didn't need to be up until 8:00. Because I stayed late for snack last night, I got to come in the kitchen at 8:30.
When I got into the kitchen all I had to do was serve breakfast, because it was all made. for breakfast we had oatmeal, cereal, fruit, and toast. After I was done with breakfast, I started making grilled cheese sandwiches. this took a long time, but I was happy to be done it. For lunch we had borscht, tomato soup, grilled cheese, and veggies. We had brownie for dessert. After lunch I had a break until I had to get ready for supper. When my break was over, I went back to the kitchen for supper. Tonight we were having cauldron fries, chili and salad. I got everything ready for eating outside.
We made A LOT of cauldron fries, maybe to much. the campers loved it. Supper was finished, so I loaded everything on the gator, and walked back to the kitchen to clean everything up. After everything was done, I went back to the mini since I didn't have to stay for snack. before I went to bed, I wrote in the journal..
Good night.

Good morning. Last night I didn't get much sleep. I thought I would get a good night sleep if I went to bed early, before any staff had there night off. I went to bed at 8:30 and woke up at 10:00 by the noisy staff. I stayed awake for a while, and only went back to sleep when they all left to go to sleep.
In the morning I went to the kitchen to help make breakfast. for breakfast we were making pancakes, breakfast sausage, fruit, yogurt, and cereal. I put the breakfast sausages into pans. For my breakfast I had pancakes, and a fried cinnamon bun. After breakfast was done, I started on cutting onions for lunch, We were having hot dogs for lunch. We were suppose to have lunch outside, but it was raining. After hot dogs we had dirt cake for dessert. lunch was over, and the kids went to go pack for camp out. (this time they went).
I was off for the rest of the day, and I went back to the mini in the loft. I wrote in my journal, read and listened to music. it was supper time, so I went into the kitchen to find leftovers. for supper I ate chili and a bun. I went back to the mini after and had a shower. after my shower I got ready for bed. I knew I was going to have a good night sleep because I had the mini to myself.

After lunch was finished I gathered everything to take back to the kitchen to clean up. Everything was cleaned up and finished, I took a break. after my break was over, I went back to the kitchen to start on supper. Tonight was the theme meal, the theme was red carpet. We had rice, chicken, garlic bread, peas & carrots, and Cesar salad. The theme was a fun idea. some staff wore there grad dresses, some guys were in tuxedo's. they had Adele, Taylor swift, and Ed Sheeran sang a song. they had given out awards, but the last award was hidden. the kids had to search for it. The last award was attached to the sliding window to the kitchen, and was awarded to Adele.
After I ate supper, I cracked eggs for tomorrows breakfast, then got outdoor stuff ready for cauldron donuts. I went down to the cauldron and helped with the donuts. I glazed the donuts with the help of another kitchen staff. Cauldron donuts are always a big hit! We made a lot of donuts, we had seconds, thirds, and even fourths. we had so many donuts, that when the kids and staff were leaving, I handed out donuts to those who wanted. Snack was all cleaned up, I went to the mini and wrote for a little bit, and then went to bed. Good night.
