Hey y'all in the blue.
I miss camp soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much...I'm going make a tip/packing list thingiefor those new lil' campers....ADD ON.It might be a little girl oriented...but that's what I am.
Stuff I wish I'd brought.
~Febreeze.(Something WILL cause your cabin to smell bad...especially if your a girl)
~Water,bottled or jugs...or plan to go to the healthlodge every morning(don't pass out from dehyradration like me:)
~An alarm or something...sometimes the counsolers wake you up but you ignore.
~more rubberbands for my hair.
~A foolproff hairsyle that ensures that you don't look like a homeless person by rec time.
~knee highs as opposed to tights for girls,they are so sweaty.
Stuff I am soooo glad I brought.
~Watch.
~rain STUFF
~light PJs
~A light blanket for those hot nights
~my 20 questions ball.
~CDs
~Pins for my shirt.
~jewelery.
~flashlight
TIPS.
~BRING WATER EVERYWHERE!!!! I passed out during a concert from dehyrdation...then had to walk home ALONE in the rain during a full blown thunderstorm from the healthlodge.
~Clean up....no one likes a pig at blue lake.
~make friends with everyone.
~don't stereotype people by thier art or appearence.
~don't put your feet on the back of someone's chair during a concert.
~try to get along with counsolers....they have it hard too.
~REMEMBER YOUR PIN!
Other stuff.
Coming with a buddy-On your form it says you can send in your app. with a friends and get in thier cabin.Having someone you know in your cabin can be fun,but it can also be a drag.If they are really close to you outside of camp they may be clingy and not leave ya alone(not my case...but i've heard junk) So if you plan on meeting tons of people tyou might not want a cabin buddy.
ELECTIVES-If you don't want any extra free time(besides normal rec time),go for an elective. If you want a good work out,TAKE DANCE....If you want stuff to show for yourself..take art...my friends had a blast.Theatre was like an easier,abridged theatre program so I f ya feel like it,go for it.I have no idea about any of the music ones...except for music appreciation...my friend took it and HATED it.
Food-By the second day of camp,i was almost totally vegetarian,the meat..kinda sucks so alot of things like the cheese ravoli and soy burgers,really rocked...so even if you like meat be a veggie,get you friends to get you meat if you seriosusy NEED IT.
The Dance-don't get worked up,if you get a date,you get a date,DON'T LET IT RUIN YOU DAYS OF CAMP UP UNTIL THAT POINT.Girls...there are 3 girls to every guy at blue lake,so not everyone gets a date.IT'S ARTS CAMP...NOT DATE CAMP!
First day-Some schedules say come at like 2...your audition is a 2:30....come at 12...seriously if you want a top bunk or a special place or whatever...get there early..I came at 12 and I was last in my cabin to get there...my friends said 9...so COME EARLY!
concerts-concerts can be long....and hot..and boring.Try not to sit to close to counsolers during one..therefore maybe you could whisper... AND DON'T GIVE STANDING OvATIONS!!!!EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!unless you like being there all night.
Badge meaning thingies-At camp,everyone gets a badge...it's white for mostly everyone now,counselors have a colored name tag that's different.If you're a vegetarian..it has green sticker it you've passed the swim test you have blue sticker on the back.If you've been to the international outpost you have a little world sticker on it. Name tag colors are White for first years,Yellow for second.....um and red for 5th...Kaylan's guide has it all so I fyou wanna know 'em all looks at hers.
stuffs for your feets-You'll wanna bring some type of walking shoes.Don't bring toeless or heels and expect to get around campin em,,,I like converse or adidas because they have good wear..you'll also want a pair of flips flops or slippers for being around your unit...BRING TONS OF SOCKS it get yuck...like YUCK.. just bring about 20+ pairs....you'll thank me later...i promise.
Bottoms-For daily wear you have to wear jeans or a navy blue that's darker than the uniform shirt...I don't think there is a height requiremnt but no one wants to see short shorts... NO ONE!and you have to tuck in you shirt anyway so guys,don't try to leave the cabin in baggy butt-bearing pants...you won't get very far...
Other guides:look on the the memories for more(and better) tips
happy blue laking!
