Thursday 8/1/13
Today we had are make up training with are counterparts. We worked on a six month plan for are jobs. It was nice to kind of make an outline of ideas and such. We also worked on expectations from both the counterparts and volunteers. It was a long training day but well worth the time. When that was over I went home and relaxed. Nothing all that exiting happened that evening, the normal cooking and such before bed.

Day # 189 Good to be home
Wednesday 7/31/13
It was such a nice feeling to sleep in my own bed!!! But it was about to be a long day. I had to take my puppy Penut to the vets to get the rest of his shots and worm pills. That took most of the day. When I got back I relaxed and then went shopping for food the house had almost no food in it. I fell a sleep really early!!!!

Day # 8 at camp
Today was a sad day for a lot of the girls. We ate breakfast and then headed up to the ceremony. The ceremony was short and sweet. All of the girls got certificates and their families came to see them. When that was over we all got the girls ready to go home. We rented two busses. So many of the girls where emotional about the camp being over and they wanted it to go another week. I went with one of the busses to drop the girls off and when they where all home safe and sound I got drooped off at home. I was so tiered but I decided to go to my work out class and cook myself a nice dinner before I went to bed.

Day # 187 Project Planning Day
Monday 7/29/13
Day # 7 of camp
Ohhh my gosh it was so hard to get up this morning but it was worth it we had a zumba class with drums instead of yoga. After that it was off to breakfast and then Project planning. Camp GLOW has only got going last year, but some of the girls went back to their schools and created GLOW clubs. So today is based around how the girls can brain storm. All of the girls got broken into groups and had to come up a name for their group, what it would be about, what kind of stuff they needed. Then we had to pretend to be representatives from different companies. We went around asking them questions. It helped them with public speaking and organizing. When that was all over it was time for cleaning, packing, showers and then dinner before the talent show. The girls where so amazing singing, dancing, playing the guitar and drums. They were awesome. They didn't go to bed until like 2am I had to move my bed so I could get some sleep.

Day # 6 of Camp
It was so nice that we got to sleep in today because we had another heavy day ahead of us. We started off with talking about abuse and what types their are. That was interesting because their are so many different kinds and it opened the eyes for the girls. We then demonstrated the 16 steps to putting on a condom correctly, different types of birth controls and condoms (Men and womans). When we where done with thats we had a condom relays using cucumbers. For some of the girls that was the first time putting one on and for other it just made sure they where using them correctly. They had a grate time. After that it was time for fun in the sun. We made a slip and slide on the grass, tie died shirts, and listened to music before the bon fire. It was a grate way to end the night. The girls did not want to go to bed after that though. So it was a supper late night.
Day # 6 of Camp
Day # 185 Healthy Relationships Day
Saturday 7/26/13
Day # 5 of camp
Today was one of the most important sessions that we had at camp. We had a two hour workshop on what healthy relationships should be and we talked to the girls about what they feel un healthy relationships are. Some of them gave personal examples. It was definitely a hard session to listen to and be a part of. When we were done with that one we moved on to STI and HIV/AIDS. The girls had so many good questions. Because that was such a hard subject we tried to end the day on a happy fun note. We did what you call dream boarding. Thats when you take pictures and create a collage and decorate it. They loved that. it was a long day packed with lot of information for the girls.

Day 4 of camp
This morning was yoga before we had are resume writing class. It was a really helpful session. We talked about what should go on a resume and what should not. How to get references and how you should change your resume for each individual job. When we where done the girls had to fill out a templet so we could go over it together. After that we did a little bit on public speaking, eye contact and body language. I think this was a grate ways for the girls to understand who to talk to people. When that was over we had lunch and then started getting ready for the fashion show. All of the girls put makeup on and each one had to be a good example of what to were to an interview or a bad example. It was really fun. All of the counselors went down the catwalk as well. It was a fun day, but another late night.
