This week started with a day off! With it being July 5th, the museum was closed which means that no one had to come in for work. It felt very odd waking up without an alarm going off and not having to go in. When we went back on Tuesday, I realized that we didn’t have camp this week. It was another prep week. At the museum they do something called art boxes. These boxes contain all of the material needed to complete about 4-5 different art projects. These projects coincide with what we will be doing for that specific themed week of camp. I was able to start putting the boxes together on Tuesday and we finished them on Wednesday. These are for the kids who want to come to camp but are still conscious of COVID so they can participate from home. The art boxes from our previous weeks had been extremely easy to put together because there had not been much prep needed to make them. This was not the case for these ones. I had to drill holes into almost 600 seashells, one at a time. If I never touched a drill again in my life it would still be too soon!
On Thursday, I was able to meet the old director of the museum, Betty. She was very lovely and we had a great conversation about what I wanted to do with my future. I was able to help her clear some of the rooms for the museum and pack stuff up. Other than this, the week was filled with me prepping everything for the following week of camp.
