Classic: Day One

Classic is now under way. It has been a crazy few weeks but here we are in our last week of camp. Classic is a week for Senior High guests only (14+) they come and experience what could be their final week as a guest here. This week is very different from your normal week. The games, electives, bands, dramas and snacks are incredible. Everyone plays the games together so you can imagine the type of planning that needs to be done for 407 guests running around.

Yesterday was opening day. Things didn’t really go as planned. 20 mins before the guests arrived we had to move indoors as there was a storm coming in. Then …… it hit and it really hit. We had to direct the cars do drop the kids off at the cabins rather than the parking area as it was too bad for people to walk around in. In the midst of this we still had our crazy dancers in their 50’s gear dancing and greeting cars. Please note that when I say 50’s I mean year of 50’s not 50 year old people style.

After the intor we havd everyone pumped to play the game and the rain hit again. It was not going to be possible to play a game in this and being in charge of Classic I have to make the sucky decision to scrap it. Luckily I have had friends visiting me from Alberta. Their band is called Gaetz Ave and they were meant to be in Ottawa on Sunday night for a show. One of the band guys was in a little accident and their van is pretty mashed up. Fortunately they were sitting watching the opening show and with 45 mins notice they were good to play a concert for the guests. I think most people enjoyed them. I did and that is all that matters…. I think….

Today the rain is off. I think that I am going to go and grab a nap. Late nights + early morning = tired PK
