Several of you have asked how our first summer at the new camp was... so i'm going to give you all a little update!
Harbor Hills is a beautiful camp about 15 minutes from our house. It is a day camp unlike the last one which was a sleep away camp. They have campers aged 3-15 with a special Kiddie Village for the littlest ones and a teen tour program for the oldest one! The camp caters to North Jersey with beautiful landscaping, great activities, meals and transportation and a wonderful staff (that's us!). Chris has a very similar job to the one he had at the last camp by interviewing and hiring all staff and working on advertising. In addition to that however he is also in charge of the teen travel program (this is a huge job- he organizes activities, transportation and food for 90 kids every day!). Needless to say he had lots of very long nights leading up to camp but the camp season ran wonderfully and he left at 6am and was home most nights by 9pm! A huge change from the last camp were he rolled into the cabin at 2 a.m. Plus now no one radios us at all hours of the nights with different issues, we have a real bed, hot shower, don't have to eat camp food breakfast, lunch and dinner and we have weekends!!!! Needless to say, Chris enjoyed the summer and loves the new job!
As for me, this summer i was a division leader. I was in charge of 44 third grade girls and seven counselors. I had a great group of kids and my counselors were wonderful too. I really enjoyed being outside and not stuck in a program room all summer! i got a tan, actually made some friends (yes some people like me!) and went swimming! Can't wait to do it again next summer!!!
the website for the camp is listed to the right. there aren't a lot of pictures of the camp but you can still check it out!
