This week was one of the most entertaining weeks for me. I watched my CITs transition  from assisting the counselors at Camp Arye, the special needs camp, to assisting the counselors at Camp Orah, the preschool camp. Since Camp Orah is for preschoolers, this camp ends everyday at 1 pm. After it ended, my CITs were able to choose what camp they would want to go to for the rest of the day until 4 pm. The other two camps were Camp Arye and Camp Haverim, the kindergarten-third grade camp. It was very heartwarming to hear my CITs excitedly say that they wanted to spend every day of this week at Camp Arye. My CITs absolutely enjoyed their time at Camp Arye last week and were excited to go back.

Although my CITs had a good time in Camp Orah, I noticed that some of my CITs were less enthusiastic because the children at Orah were very young. During this week I heavily observed the ways in which my CITs interacted with the younger children. For the first time, I had a lot more negative feedback than positive feedback, that I gave to the CITs. Thankfully they took this feedback easily and applied it during the rest of the week in Camp Orah. I have seen tremendous growth in the CITs since the first day of camp and it truly makes me happy.

Also during this week, my CITs were told by the director of camp to prepare a skit for entire camp. Therefore, I met with them every day for an hour and watched as they collaborated to prepare this skit. I helped them organize their thoughts and ideas, and assisted them with narrowing down to a specific theme. Overall, this week was great and I am sad that the last week of camp for my CITs is next week.
