AFS camp leader June 12th 2009
The second camp I was a leader for was a whole lot bigger than the first one. This camp had around 80 parcipitants and we had to keep track of them all! Once, we had to wake up in the middle of the night and chase some guys out of the swimming pool. (They'd decided to take a midnight swim, but the pool was closed!) It was harder to be a leader this time because I was an actual leader and not just a helper, sort of. It's pretty hard to have authority over 80 kids just a couple of years younger than myself! It went relatively well, however, since some did respect me and saw me as someone in an "authority position"! Getting some of the kids talking and discussing was just impossible, during one of the discussions I led I had a really quiet group and I pretty much had to direct every question at one person in particular.
