Camp Woodland Blog

Dear OD Blog,
WOW this is EXCITING! My first time ever being OD! It was pretty nerve racking! I woke up about 6:40 wondering what I was supposed to be doing because no one in my cabin would tell me. Finally at 7:30 I rang the wake up bell and got back on track. At assembly Amanda whispered all the cabin names in my ear for roll call and waited for instructions on what to do next. I did all the usual tasks, and then they ran out of things for me to do so I got to sit in the office and read a book. At rec. swim I did ski help, it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be, I even got Jill to try! She just hurt herself yet again. For my hour off, I sat with my canoeing class and painted my nails black! My first day of being OD was a BLAST! Thanks for helping everyone! Love always,
Pocahontas

Dear OD Blog,
Today we got to sleep in because of a little Woodland Dew but no worries, the clouds cleared up and it ended up being a beautiful day. So after waking up at 8 ad breakfast, Chelsea was awarded camper of the day, YOU GO GIRL! After doing the usual stamping letters, watering flowers, sweeping, vacuuming, and filling camp store requests. Oh yeah, Logan why do you need a toothbrush and toothpaste? Please tell me you have brushed your teeth sometime in the past three weeks! Then I had the interesting job of rinsing out old milk cartons. Smelling like crusty old spoiled milk wasn’t what I had planned. In the afternoon I did ski help, it was so windy and choppy but that didn’t stop those crazy brave Woodland girls from skiing and knee boarding. Then came out my enjoyable hour off. Peace out for now,

P.S. Bug juice mustaches. Yummy. It’s like having a popsicle on your face.

Dear OD Blog,
I rose at the usual and rang the bell. Unfortunately, I forgot to wake up the hoppers in Sunrise and our tables weren’t set! What a catastrophe! Then during cleanup Trina found some mysterious hairs in our shower. EW! I did my normal OD duties in the morning even got to drive the golf cart with the super vision of Mrs. J of course. Ski help wasn’t pleasant because of the cold. Of course all the crazy girls in 5th hour went skiing but congrats to all the girls who got around the lake. All in all my day was successful. Minus the straight hour of Across the Universe soundrack my cabin made me listen to before bed. Oh well.
Until next time,
Officer Maggots

Being OD is so much fun, although there isn’t much to do. In the morning I sorted mail and filed orders for toothpaste and flashlights and whatnot, how can you girls lose so much in the first two weeks? I also got to learn how to use the laminator it was like a hair straightener but for paper, COOL! After I was ski help, it was my hour off, and let me tell you now that it was a super nice hour. I read my book and got around 50 pages in, YAY ME! When campfire started I missed ringing the bell and collecting letters, sorry Lauren. Signing off for now,

P.S. I’ve definitely messed up the most out of all the ODs ever!

So I woke up just like every other OD before me, and I went to wake up Jordan, the hostess. I went to her cabin to look for her and didn’t see her. So I looked all over the counselor’s area and she still wasn’t there. I ended up asking JoAnne What to do and she said that Jordan was already up. Then I rand the bell and woke up the rest of my cabin to hop! After assembly I did the normal OD duties, fun! I opened canteen for about two minutes, then I had to go up and ring the bell constantly for missing persons drill. Just as I was wondering how much longer is thing going to take, Tori ran up and told me to stop. Thank goodness! I finished canteen and went up to the cabin to shower, but Bobby distracted me by riding by on Rashad, so I went to the barn instead. Signing off,

P.S. Alex, stop stealing my hat!
