Counselor Fun (or, drinking at Unos)
Alterations
Everyone seemed to use the fact that they were away from home to alter their appearance. Hair was the most obvious, but there was also piercings and tattoos...
"This one time, at Summer Camp, Daisy went to get her tongue pierced, and she fainted, and I laughed, really hard." Mike, Power Rangers
Unos Nights
Yes, Unos became a large part of our lives while we were at Kiddie Keep Well Camp. Games such as Pass The Ice and Chief were played very enthusiastically, and the arguements as to who would get that precious Thursday night (preferably with the next day) off in order to get to UNOs Karaoke night were vicious.
"All of the Uno's moments were the best... But the best had to be when me, Hayley, Daisy and Graeme reunited as Camp ABBA! And the sneaky shots from *** and ******." Mike, Power Rangers
"I have two - being the ONLY person to get invited behind the bar to make my own drinks (woo hoo!) and making it onto the hall of fame - it took two dedicated Summers of making a fool of myself and chatting to the bartenders to get there!!" Hayley, Ninja Turtles
"The first time I went to Unos... All I can remember is that I danced with a hot guy and I hooked up with him and then Hayley told me to go back to camp, and I was literally dragged out of Unos by about 4 people - no lie!!!" Faith, Care Bears
"It was the weekend of the 3rd Gateway. One time I decided to try something different and I introduced the lovely drink of absolut and cranberry juice to everybody. We were all wasted by the time we left and Mike pushed us back to camp in a shopping cart (with Astra and Dana). Anyway, the next weekend I went to order a drink and the bartender went for my usual 'Bacardi and Coke?' and I said 'No, something different Absolute and Cranberry....' and he says "What are you talking about??? You ordered about 10 of those last time you were here!" Lauren, Honorary Turtle
Other Counselor Fun
There was more to our fun than Unos... like the staff soccer game (Europe vs Rest of the World, Europe winning 3-2), the end of season Toga party, and other stupid stuff that just seemed to follow around the staff of 2002.
"Dan cheating my team our of the Scavenger Hunt and me leading the Turtles to victory, candy cupboard skittles, tornado warning in the dining hall, final walk on the last day of camp, the food NON veggie may I add." Daisy, Power Rangers
"The poo cabin, Session 3. Counselors were Mike (head), Kyle and Terry. When we found out about the poo we got all 12 kids, put them in the toilet, gave them a pair of gloves and bleach and didn't let them out until it was all gone - 45 minutes later." Mike, Power Rangers
"Picture this - we are having dinner (um, yummy) and Elenora decides to pour water down Bev's t-shirt. Bev was unable to do anything to get Elenora back and Elenora was so pleased with herself! However, later that night (around midnight I seem to remember) I was trying to sleep on the bunk below Elenora who was fast asleep and I saw Bev and Trixie come into the cabin - I thought nothing of it until Bev climbed up on the top bunk and poured the contents of her bag all over the sleeping Elenora. The bag contained millions (and I mean millions) of skittles. They went everywhere. Elenora then proceeded to drag Bev into the shower for a little night-time wash! I wouldn't be surprised if Sioux is STILL covered in squashed skittles." Mary, Power Rangers
"At the toga party, which was sooo much fun but also a really emotional night, Jose was really sweet to me and made me cry. This then caused my mascara to run all over my face making me resemble a panda. I ran to the bathroom to wash my face but on my way slipped on a patch of floor that Dmitri was mopping up and fell with a thud onto my arse!! Not very graceful I can tell you!!" Sara, Tigers
"Becky, Faith and I went to the mall one night and we got bored and they decided that they would do a moony at the next car that drove past. I on the other hand didn't have the guts so I just watched. Hey guys, if you're reading this, do you remember? Fantastic - thanks guys!!" Gorana, Ninja Turtles
"Ok, picture this, Daisy lets ME of all people to help spray paint the decorations for the Toga Party and not to mentiona my watch, my fingers, my flip flops and god knows what else... I was completely covered in gold spray paint..." Faith, Care Bears
"It was a shift where we had finished up in the kitchen and decided to get a bite to eat when Chris, Anthony and James decided it would be funny to lock me in the walk-in fridge. They lifted me and dragged me into the kitchen, into the fridge and locked me in!" Gorana, Ninja Turtles
