A Day of Firsts

Family Camp Part II started in full force today! I'm not gonna lie, it's very strange being here sans sixty staff and a million munchkins; the hollowness was more of a downer than I thought it would be, but it's still A-mazingly fun. And I'm back to being a regular old counselor again, which is nothing short of refreshing!

I drove the boat for my first wakeboarder this morning. It was thrilling being back on the lake again--I feel I haven't been there in ages! Whilst zooming round the lake--which in the yellow boat equals roughly 15mph--I had to interrupt the boarding session to help our new friend Jordan retrieve our sunken ski boat from the lake. That's right: Skylake's second Red Boat sank. We are still investigating what exactly happened, but I can't help but find it an amusingly fitting thing to happen at Skylake. So, I towed a submerged boat to the boat launch and helped drag it out of the water. And the Yellow Boat lived to drive more skiiers. What a morning!

I love that this is my third summer at Skylake and I'm still having so many firsts. I've never been one to return to places, do things more than once, etc, but I'm so glad I decided to spend extensive amounts of time here. Skylake has so much to offer everyone, and I cannot thank it enough for all this place and the people I have met through camp have helped me grow. I cannot wait to wake up tomorrow morning and see what other firsts the day brings!
