To get you an idea of how many employees (all college students from all over the U.S.) Pine Cove has, there are about 1100 people in all who work at these camps. Yeah.
Anyways, it took basically two days to explain all the rules and what the camp is all about. The thing I loved most about these two days is that the guy (Opie-his real name is Kevin, his camp name is Opie) would have a story for every rule they had and explain why they have that rule. I think if I didn't have an explanation of all the different rules I would have come out of this orientation feeling a bit unexcited, because some of these employee rules sound a bit ridiculous and stupid until you hear the reasons behind them and understand where they are coming from. It was also great to see people from the other camps and people that I knew that were working from UA at different the different camps.
After the two big gathering days we all went to our separate camps to learn our different specific jobs. I work at the Ranch camp which is the 6th and 7th grade camp. I will be a health assistant which helps out the 24 hour nurse at the Ranch. Each camp has a nurse and then there is a doctors office at the Woods camp in which appointments can be made for campers and workers that need one. Yeah, this camp is so big it needs it's own doctors office and onsite nurses. So, I will be setting up appointments for kids and employees when needed, calling the nurse when situations arise, helping kids with broken bones, sick kids, kids that are home sick, and dispersing medication during meal times and bed times. I have no idea how I got this job but am excited that I am able to have it and be used in what ever way God will use me and also show himself to me during this time.
