Camp Runamuck

June 13th - Monday
This week you and Andre are in charge of the kid's Summer Camp.
Give us the name of the camp, the age group you're working with, and a bit of background.

         

         

         

         

         

         Camp Runamuck. What an apt name for a summer camp for pre-teens. These little darlings possess master manipulation skills. Oh, their cherubic faces are not to be trusted. They bedazzle with their gleaming white smiles and their unblinking attention. Flattery is syrupy sweet.

         During roll calls they appear immaculate, spot less. No grubby hands. Not a hair out of place. No perspiration clings to their smooth brows.

         "Andre, I've never seen an arrow shot in such a masterful, take charge manner. You never miss the target. Can you show me again how a pro does it?"

         "Oh, no, I couldn't possibly hold a bow and arrow. You wouldn't want me to injure myself would you?"

         "Show me that rope course again. Wow, you make it look so easy Andre. Is there another method for climbing and clinging to the ropes? Is a helmet absolutely necessary? No one plans to fall do they? If gloves aren't provided you cannot expect me to scuff my hands. Of course you can swing from the trees. It's in your DNA."

         "Are you certain that's the best way to start a campfire? I've been warned never to play with fire. Correct me if I'm wrong, but fiddling with flammable wood and an open flame is dangerous, is it not? Should any of us be breathing in that smoke? What about safety first?"

         "Why should I be it? That's not fair to single me out. What assurances do I have that everyone will be it? You may run and chase if you wish, Andre. I mean you're an animal. You don't need a reason to flit about."

         Andre, bless him, is no match for these kids. Is it any wonder he soon throws up the proverbial white flag? He doesn't need the aggravation. He receives the message loud and clear. They do not require, or want supervision. He raises a drink to that.
