Staff orientation is well under way now. We are on day 6 of an intense 10 day program designed to instruct counselors on how to be successful this summer. Today is our famous "Day in the Life" which is designed to give couselors hands on training, and to give them the flavor of what a day at Eagle Lake looks like before they actually get kids next week. We started a 6:00 this morning with a mock Dippy Club (kids do this during the week too and get the coveted Eagle Lake Dippy Dogtag. Some of them have tags from the past six years and love to show them off at camp). This year 45 degrees didn't feel too terrible! We went through some of the large team games we'll play this summer and moved on to "Actor Training". With this year's theme being Epic 2007, we thought putting on an adventure race with an acting theme would be a perfect choice for the kids to do first thing Monday morning. Here are some of the pictures of counselors learning Actor Training:
