The Camper I am

Long time no blog!!

I have to say, it was bittersweet not blogging for 5 days. I had a lot of fun at pre-camp, met a lot of new people, and didn’t have a single minute to blog- so it would have been stressful trying to!! But I did miss it a lot!

Pre-Camp was fun; I met all of the new counselors, already made a few new friends, my camp name is Leo  for all of you who wanted to know, and we’ve been doing a lot of rules talk, paperwork and plenty of teambuilding games throughout the week. 

I have been staying active, even though the weather hasn’t been the greatest. I’ve been  playing lots of games, doing LOTS of walking, some swimming, I ran once in the morning (we did “Road Runner”, it’s a one mile loop the girls do first thing in the morning to earn a pin) andof course toting my HUGE trunk from one end of camp to the other!! 

I didn’t take any pics of my food; a few people know I have a food website but I didn’t go into many details yet. So no pictures as of now! I do have a mini recap of the foods I ate while I was at camp so you all can see my attempts at trying to be healthy while in the middle of the wilderness of West Kingston, RI! 

Note: I brought NONE of my own food, I found out I CAN bring some healthy snacks to have while I’m there (!!) so I will surely be doing that soon! 

Snack:   Before leaving I grabbed a nectarine and on the way to camp my dad treated me to a Coffee Light Frappucino from Starbucks! My fave!
