Crossroads B
What an amazing camp. It's unbelievable that I have two more week-long camps left of this summer. Crossroads B is a camps specifically geared for students going into either 9th or 10th grades.
The camp began with a hilarious and memorable afternoon in Vineyard Haven. Around 11:30 on the first day of camp, I picked up some early arrivals from the airport - a girl from Richmond, and a girl from Baltimore. Both of these girls I became pretty tight with as the camp went on. We decided to head into Vineyard Haven, as students weren't technically allowed to be "on site" until later in the afternoon. We went to get sandwiches at Mocha Motts, and as we sat down, a large man and his friend asked us to watch his dog for us. This would have been fine, except this dog was clearly a watch-dog, and very scary. It got riled up as it saw other dogs, which intimidated the three of us. However, thanks to our kindness to this stranger, he gave us a combined $30 gift certificate to the store he owned down the street!! I guess it pays to help a stranger out :)
My cabin was a hoot. These girls had me and my co-cabin leader, Corbin, in stitches every evening. The patience and love we showed this girls became more and more fun as we got to know this crop of girls who were mostly all originally from DC. There were a bunch of students from DC, so that was wonderful. I now feel like vision for my future work is growing :)
