Potomac Woods....symbol of my favorite memories.... [Jun. 4th, 2008|06:13 pm]Staff from GSCNC camps
[**Feelin'** |nostalgicnostalgic]Soo, I've been thinking a lot about camp lately, and thought I'd drag out some old quotes and remember whens...CPW 2006 Tas: We need to fix that camper's swimsuit. It's all jacked up. I can see nipple!Quesa: (in the morning, reading Outgoing Day assignments) I can't read this. My eyes are shut.Surfista: Announcement: My eyelids are sweating.Surfista: You know how water and flour make glue? So do sweat and baby powder.Doodle: You know you've been at camp too long when the only man in your bed is a raccoon named Pablo.Skippy: Water. The juice of life. (Tas and Ducky laugh) Leave me alone, it's tired.Surfista: There's a fuckload of koalas in my bed!!CPW 2005Topic: Didou speaking FrenchWhistle: Did you just say something about a duck?Scout: And chocolate?Scout and Whistle: And beef?Didou: umm, no, but nice try.Warcry: So, are you ready for bed?Camper: Um, I'm not going to bed.Camper: Someone said she looked up 'black widow' in the dictionary and they do exist.Roxy: Well, they do exist, but not in your cabin. And besides, you can't look that kind of information up in a dictionary.Whistle: A dictionary is where you look up words...like 'false'. As in information that is not correct.Topic: After 'Spoonful of Sugar' was sung to dismiss campers with medicineCamper: A spoonful of sugar doesn't help the medicine go down, it just makes the sugar taste nasty.Topic: Watching "The Incredibles" in Mountford, referring to ElastigirlSpoik: Look at it this way...she never got stretch marks during pregnancy.Spoik: Don't worry, it'll all work out, she doubles as a bomb shelter.Topic: Marmite spilled water on Belle's sandwichBelle: My sandwich is soggy!Marmite: It's a hydrating sandwich.CPW 2004Hamburger (to Popeye): Well, you can just kiss my sesame-seed bun.Pooh (camp director): So it has been said, and so it will be done.Sea: From the Gospel of Pooh.Hamburger(to Pwiggles): You can just pwiggle yourself on out of here.Lumberjack got cranky and threw the Rice Krispies boxes at Nemo(we were hoppers), and Nemo just picked them up and chucked them right back at him. It caught him totally by surprise. And Pooh just stood there laughing.Camper: Christiana(another camper) accidently hit me in the head, and now I can't remember things.Buttons (in fake Aussie accent) Crikey! Now Sam is poking a stick into the hole to piss off the big snake!Nemo: Girls, why are you out of your cabin?Campers: We're going to the biffy.Me: Oh, Nemo, let them go.Nemo: I was going to!Me: Well, you sounded really mean, like you weren't.Burger: Yeah, I agree with Tas. You were like Godzilla.Nemo: RAARGH!All the TP counselors after that:Girls, get in a buddy line! Rarrgh!!Sweep the dining hall! Rarrgh!!Be quiet! Rarrgh!!!Remember when Tas and Salix dressed as Hook and Pan for Pirate Day and fought a 'duel' in the middle of the dining hall during dinner?Tas: Hi Sam, how are you?Sam: Tired. I didn't get to bed until 3am.Tas: Why?Sam: I was singing.Tas: Oh? What unit couldn't sleep?Sam: Pooh.Burger: Ladies, packing does not involve screaming! I've never had a day where I was afraid of my own luggage!Butterfly: I'm going to the biffy to take a crap.Burger: Take one for me too.Nemo: Why? Aren't 23 little turds enough?Spacey: Do we run?Hill High: No!Spacey: Dive?Hill High: No!Spacey: Horseplay?Hill High: No!Spacey: How far can you be from your buddy at all times?Hill High: No!Boots: When are we swimming today?Tas: Right after breakfast.Boots: Shoot, I didn't tell them to put their swimsuits on. Are you sure?Tas: Yeah! It says right here, Maple Hollow!Boots: You're in Forest Glen now.Tas: Oh yeah....

[**Feelin'** |melancholymelancholy]So while working the wee hours of the morning over here in Korea, I came to a sad realization.This summer will be the first one in 8 years where I will not be able to make it out to CPW at least once.This summer will be the first one in 8 years where I will never sing 'Ashgrove' at an opening campfire. Anyone want to sing it in memory of me while I am overseas?it would mean a lot.

Nov 9 - 11th [Nov. 1st, 2007|10:00 am]Staff from GSCNC camps
I'm a Service Unit manager for Herndon, VA now, and we have a small 4th grade junior troop looking for some help the weekend of Nov 9 - 11th. They're going to CMF and staying in the staff house, and are lacking one more certified chaperone. If you've worked at camp, this counts for that.... but it would also be nice to have someone who can help keep the girls engaged, up beat, and teach them a few things. If you're interested, let me know. I'll put you in touch with the leader. Thanks, guys!

Hi everyone! [Jun. 13th, 2007|01:29 am]Staff from GSCNC camps
I'm on a missing camp kick right now, since I saw a lot of old camp friends (I'm a CMF girl) at "Still Singing After All These Years" this past weekend, and found this community - I can't tell you how awesome I think this is and only wish I had found it while I was still working there! I guess I'd better get down to business, introducing myself:camp name: Altoid (Rerun as a JC, but I am better known after my name change as the former), and variations include: Altie, LT, The Toid, etc.camper: pre- 2000 - day camp at Winona and Bay Breeze every summer, eventually working as an AIT, then AID2000 - 2 weeks at CMF: Off Broadway at Windy Hill (the current equivalent being Summer Stock, I think)2001 - 1 week at CMF: Art Medley at Spotswood2002 - 2 weeks at CMF: Challengers at Sinewa (they changed the name from Rocks & Ropes to this for only a year, which I always thought was weird)2003 - JC at CMF, known as Rerun (yes, I'm still so embarrassed about the name change)staff: at CMF, of course...2004 - unit counselor2005 - program counselorfavorite girl scout songs:while I was at camp, I was known by campers and counselors alike as being annoyingly all-too-familiar with a vast number of girl scout songs. this past semester, I wrote a 13 page paper on girl scout songs. I think it would be a bit cruel to make me choose, but I'll highlight a few anyway:dewey (it's just so cute!)my highland goatrosesardinesmagiclingerif you'll be MINE minechestermoose songviolachicago fire songand I could go on... really, I have a new favorite the next time I get one stuck in my head. but I wouldn't have it any other way.things i love about camp:number one, all of the people I've gotten to meet over the years. every friendship has been a treasure I'll keep with me for the rest of my life, and I hope I will always find some way to keep in touch with them and get back to CMF, I love it so much.having learned how to start a fire with a single match: MY GREATEST TRIUMPH!being able to act like a fool, singing at the top of my lungs, and have it be perfectly normal and also encouragedthe fourth of july at CMF (it was why I came back as a camper)the spirit squadharrisonburg, bridgewater, and staunton and all of the delights they have to offerbeing able to have a sing-off with CPW counselors in the parking lot of Backstreet Videocampfireshikes, especially to eagle rock and kettle rockreddish knob, despite the precarious drive and couples making outall-camps and all of the crazy themes we come up withTHE CAMPERS, no matter how crazy they arecookout luncheskitchen raidsChristmas in Julycavingrock climbingStone Lodgeit being HOME to meEVERYTHING, especially since I'm probably missing something big and it IS 2 in the morning... Why am I not going to camp this year??? Boo to the real world!

Back to Camp 2007 [May. 18th, 2007|06:18 pm]Staff from GSCNC camps
[Feelin'** |excitedexcited]Hey Camp Potomac WoodsI am coming back to camp on June 10. I very excited to be at camp again and everything is back to normal! I will start packing and doing countdown days. Starting on Memorial Day, I will start to play "Poppit" computer game, doing the Jenks Family, and making necklaces for everyone at camp. Who is coming back to camp this summer? And you, Buttons = You are too coming back to camp this summer and I really meant it. I will be very upset if you don't come back to camp this summer. Don't make me upset, you're not Kitt Katt! There is a mystery: How does Kitt Katt moved to Now York even if I was spying on Kitt Katt?Love, Sunshine!**
