Camp on Catalina

After getting home from NY, I was in lockdown mode for two weeks as I tried to cram in some last minute studying for the GRE. The GRE is basically the grad school version of the SAT, meaning that it covers the same basic math and verbal skills, the only problem is that it was a lot easier to test on things you learned in high school when you were a high school senior as opposed to about six years out (six years that included turning 21 mind you) when you have finally managed to forget just about all of it. So that was pretty painful, but I soldiered through and as a reward I got to spend a week on Catalina! I actually spent the week volunteering at a summer camp for kids with heart disease. They were very strict with us about posting photos of the kids and information about the camp online so I won't go into much detail but suffice it to say that it was a very fun week filled with climbing walls, snorkeling, archery, campfires and just about every other camp activity you can imagine. It made me miss Illahee but I was happy to put my nursing skills to use in such a fun way. You know I couldn't resist taking a couple pictures, so here is one that I think is pretty safe:This little guy is in our Island Survival activity and he is demonstrating to the group how to use "The Target". The Target is for disposing of #2 on highly traveled trails where leaving it behind would be detrimental to the environment :)
