Summer Blurr......

Ok...I have 15 minutes until dinner, and 15 minutes to tell you about the summer blurr that occurs every summer here at Somerset Beach Campground.   That's what we call it here.   It begins about the time our summer staff arrive (first week of June)...and life is crazy and in full speed, going like crazy...long days, lots to do and we are just plain busy.  Youth camps in session, RV camping with campers coming and going, work projects happening for me personally, keeping my summer staff busy and trying to keep up with many demands from all directions, ...and mostly, trying to keep up with the break-downs(you name it...it has probably broke down this summer).   Not a whole lot of time to just sit and relax...those moments are fairly few and definately have to be scheduled and intentional.  I am currently in one of those moments...and thus an opportunity to "veg" and reflect a bit.  A day off from the regular routine, although part of the summer blurr and although towards the end of the blurr...nonetheless, part of it.  I realized I had not entered a blog in a while, as "the blurr" had taken it's toll on blogging and most other parts of semi-normal life for the past couple months or more. 
We actually only have 1 full week of summer camps left in the summer camp schedule, and for most people, it is believed that life at camp basically ends...and of course...that is when I laugh, and let them know that SBC camp life definately continues and the schedule remains busy, actually very busy for at least a couple more months...and then it remains in action...but less busy.  The difference that will occur in the next couple weeks or so...is our summer staff will begin to end their time with us and go back to whatever they will be doing next in their life (school, work, ???), but our schedule of incoming groups will continue here at SBC nonetheless...and now we get to do it without the help of the 25 or 30 summer staffers that assisted us in the process in the heat of the summer schedule (heat is a very appropriate description of this past summer by the way....as I am really looking forward to cooler days).
Well, that is my 15 minutes of blogging...do you understand what the blurr is?  It is just a shorter "blurr" than our life as a whole...which I am finding to also be a blurr...so, get out there and make the most of YOUR blurr...OK?
Here is the summer camp video for 2011 that Sara put together to be used for promo and our camp dinner
