Jonathan --> Well well what can you say about the Dr. Pepper. He's usually a very pleasant camper and willing to participate in most of the activities with the exception of some of the fun fitness actiivites. Also he has a tendancy to withdraw from activities when he feels ridiculed by other campers or that he does not quite meet up to the standards of the game. I'm very pleased to see that besides getting along with all of the counselors he has really started forming some friendships with the other campers, especially Seth. I think one of his main problems is understanding more complex activities and then staying on task. Also he often seems to seek attention, especially from the counselors often times repeating an activity (such as singing as certain song) until his actions are recognized. I think Jonathan really needs to learn to be a better sport and really work on his social skills.
Little Josh --> He sure does like his rules and to "play fair" and make sure that everyone knows those rules and plays fair as well. Also he is always full of "what if ... " question just to make sure that all bases are covered when starting an activity. This can be a little irratating to the counselors and fellow campers alike, often causing some relationship problems making it difficult for him to form any really strong friendships. Overall he seems like a very sensitive and fun kid. He just really needs to learn to become more relaxed and understand that counselors and teachers alike are in charge and will take care of enforcing the rules.
Wilson --> Wilson sure is one tough cookie. He is certainly a very physically active kid and more than willing to participate in most activities with the exception of some of the arts & crafts activities. It seems he has difiiculty expressing himself when given free range during arts activites. Otherwise he is usually pretty quiet but has really started branching out and making friends. However this usually involves troublemaking of some sort, he has a tendancy to follow others who are causing mayhem, such as Kevin or Seb. Unlike the others though he usually stops an activity when asked. I've had a couple break-through moments with Wilson and think that he really just need a safe environment and positive reinforcement, also it seems that he does much better when kept busy and challenged.
Cody --> This young fella is still a no show but I really hope he comes up because I'm sure I speak for the others when I say that I would really like to work with him.
WWOOOO DEATH SCORPIONS!!!!

Amy,
Sorry I missed your blog for some reason yesterday! Thanks for all the information...you do have an interesting group. I have no doubt they are all positively influenced by your enthusiasm, your encouragement and your energy. I really enjoy watching you play a game with them and "coach" them. I never thought I'd see the day when Dr. P would actually hit a wiffle ball. Great work!
