The Summer Saga Continues -- Staff Week

This year at Camp Yocona, there were alot of Cerveny's on Staff.
I was the Ecology Director.  Dan went to National Camp School and was a Range Safety Officer and taught Rifle/Muzzleloading merit badge.  Nick was a COPE Director and Climbing Director.  Nate ended up being the Delta Discovery Director (1900's area) and taught MetalWorking (on a forge with an anvil).  Ben was in the Outdoor Skills Area (Backpacking, Camping, etc.)  Abigail was in Handicrafts.
Staff week is about getting camp and the program areas ready for the campers.  There was a major moving project this year, so the guys really worked hard.  They moved some unused pavilions to the Polaris area (1st year campers).  They also had to get the Delta Discovery area started, it will be an ongoing project at Camp Yocona.  I mainly cleaned and mowed grass.
In the Ecology Program area, we had to get the displays setup.  We had turtles, snakes, lizards, and frogs of all kinds.  In Ecology, we taught 13 merit badges.  There were 3 of us.
The weather started warming up and we should have known what was to come.
It was also the beginning of the up at 5:45 and not going to bed till way too late (11 or 12) some nights (not so much staff week).
More to come.....
