Well, I don’t really know where to start.
The Plane journey was pretty long, but I managed to watch The Ghost Writer, and Dear John. Good plane services! There was two meals, loads of recent films to watch and music- and free cola!
We got to New York and a helpful man guided us to the right bus, and dropped us at the Bus Terminal with an hour to kill before our bus- so we wandered to Times Square, had a McDonalds and generally went ‘Wow it’s huge’.
Oh, ‘We’ is me, Charlotte who I met at the airport from my uni, and Grania, an Irish girl we picked up on the way.
Camp is pretty basic, each cabin is just a set of bunks, bare wood covered in graffiti from previous owners, showers and toilets just up the hill. Everything is on a hill. Surrounded by trees.
We were issued a warning today of what to do if we see a skunk, a racoon, a snapping turtle, a BEAR, or get swarmed by bees! 
Didn’t get much sleep as the beds are a bit hard, and there’s only one tiny pillow, but I was so tired it made no difference! Apparently you can hear the Cayotes from the mountains at night but I didn’t notice.
It’s so beautiful here, everything’s trees and water and sunshine. Stunning. And it’s huge too, loads of space and fields and different sections and stuff. The bugs are a bit vicious, and absolutely everywhere. But my spray seems to have kept them off a bit. 
At the minute we’re all in cabins together, but we’ll get separated two per cabin at the end of the week when the girls arrive. There’s lots of singing. Lots.

We’re mohawkers born and mohawkers bred, and when we die we’re mohawkers dead.

Weird songs.

Right now we’ve been given a break between ‘training’ and dinner- I’ve got to be in the dining hall at 5.30 and it’s 5.05 now, but I have to take my laptop back to the cabin- in the staff room at the minute :)

It’s so surreal being here, hasn’t quite sunk in for how long yet.
It was so exciting being in New York, though I have to say that once you get over the sheer size of everything, and the fact you’ve seen it on TV a million times, it’s not that exciting :P We saw Johnny Depp! well, his Madame Tussauds model thing. 

I’m tired, and quite hungry- we’ve been running and stuff since lunch - and slightly sunburnt, but I like it here.
It’s basic, and my phone doesn’t work so I can’t contact home, but it’s ok. We have what we need and nothing more except songs, and it’s kinda cool. I like it.

Can’t wait for dinner, and then probably a Camp Fire after. There was one when we arrived last night but we were all too tired! Got to camp at 9 this time, but 1 home time. A long time after I woke up!

So yes, basic and too hot and very dangerous it may be, I like it so far.
