differences

First let me give you a little background...

Tween and Teen campers are allowed to chose the activities that they would like to do for afternoon rotations. Once they sign up all of that information is run through the computer, checked, rechecked, and multiple lists made. Rosters go to activity directors who are instructed to take role at each session. If for some reason a camper goes missing he administrative staff begin searching every possible area. If the camper is found they are given a stern talking to, along with the counselor that didn't get them out on time. If they are not found then we go into lost camper mode which means everybody must come to line call and be accounted for. It's serious business.

Now... you have Church of God. They bring in 130 kids and have a camp similar to ours. We just drive boats, lifeguard, take horse rides, etc. I was in a pool chair waiting to rotate in for my turn lifeguarding and listening to the conversation. 10 minutes into the activity Bob (the counselor on duty) wakes up enough to open one eye and say, "hey larry, we're missing three girls. Don't know if they're coming." to which larry replies, "do we know which cabin they are from?" Bob had no idea. They discuss names and then Larry says "Well I know her, she probably wouldn't want to come anyway and that other girl and her are attached at the hip, so they probably just aren't coming. just don't worry about it" Bob went back to sleep and Larry jumped in. Problem solved.

HA! woooow.......
