During my summers I work at Camp Sloane YMCA in Lakeville, Connecticut. It’s my favourite place in the world.
To see more about where I work and what I do, search ‘Camp Sloane YMCA’ on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, where you will find out exactly what camp life is like.

So camp is over. The last 67 days (yes I counted) have been some of the best, the hardest, the most fun, the most stressful, the most awesome days ever, and I was so sad to get on that bus and watch Sloane disappear into the distance. But before I tell you what I’m doing … More Post-Camp Adventures
These are some of my camp friends. They are awesome. I love them. These are just some of the people who have my summer the best EVER!
This is it. Today is the day. The kids are leaving. The staff are packing. And tomorrow we board a train for NYC and all things (and places) beyond. But first, it’s time for clean up and moving all our stuff down to the Boy’s section, where the entire staff will be sleeping tonight (yay … More Goobye Camp Sloane
With only 1 week until camp ends and we leave this place we’ve come to call home for the last few months, there’s quite a lot of madness in the air. Everyone is excitable and hyper, but also a little bit sad that it’s all coming to an end. A few people have left already, … More Coming To An End…
Yesterday was the annual soccer game against Camp High Rock – Staff vs. Staff – and what a match it was, with High Rock taking the lead only minutes in. But Sloane soon found their stride and, with a lot of (loud) support from the entire camp, we came out victorious, with 6 goals to … More Photo Of The Week: Sloane Vs. Hi Rock
On my day off this week, me and my friend Mark decided to cycle to Falls Village to visit, yes, you guessed it, the massive waterfall there. What we didnt realise when we started out on our journey was quite how far away it really was. 8 and a half miles each way to be … More Photo Of The Week: 17 Miles To The Falls
Here at camp we have two staff members who are very proud to come from Wisconsin, and they’ve been trying to implement their love of their home state into camp life for some time. Today they finally succeeded…with a huge number of staff donning their new ‘Wisco Wednesday’ t-shirts. Hopefully it’s a tradition that will … More It’s Wisco Wednesday!
At the end of every session at camp we have what’s called a closing campfire, where everyone heads down to the stage and each section performs a little skit (with a different theme each time). It’s a great evening event, and has a very celebratory feel to it, everyone happy and relieved to have made … More Photo Of The Week: Closing Campfire
Sorry…yesterday was hectic so I didnt have time to put this up (also…I lose track of what day it is here at camp, so I totally didn’t even realise it was Sunday!) Once per session (every 2 weeks), the counselors and kids play a game called Chaos for one of their evening activities. It’s a … More Photo Of The Week: Chaos
Just another quick update before I rush off to teach the last radio show of this week. Not much has changed…still hectic. Still loving it. Making more videos more quickly than I ever thought possible. Taking a ridiculous amount of photos. Always tired. Still. Loving. It. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. P.S. New … More Still Awesome!
