It's already the start of an amazing summer- the best I could ask for. Mountain Camp is everything I thought it would be yet so much more. The kids are wild, young and fill my days with happiness and craziness. They are a constant reminder that life is short so live it up.
I spend my days out on the lake lifeguarding, kayaking, sailing or cliff jumping. I come up to main camp where I lead sports, arts and crafts- aka I run around, play and paint. My evenings consist of campfires, skits, songs and sunsets that take my breath away. Every time I sit at the lake and then sun begins to fall behind the pine trees as the sailboats sway in the foreground- I have to honestly stop and wonder how I ever got so lucky to be here?
My co-workers have become my best friends in a matter of days- they come from all over the world and offer everything from a new insight on life to new vocabulary and slang. Even my boss has become a close friend and although I'm technically on the clock for 14 hours- I don't see one of them as work.
Ice House Lake is gorgeous in itself- I took a night kayak ride out with a friend and we cruised across the lake while the stars served as the only light. It was just one of those moments where I knew everything was just as it should be. Everything is magic and I honestly could not ask for more.
Coming from semester at sea to a month at home and now a summer in tahoe... at first I thought nothing would top my travels around the world but really- they just keep getting better.
