Last weekend I was on a Childrens camp as a instructor or what it is called (don't know). It was a real great experience and alot of fun. Though my legs are abit stiff because of the constant running and moving to place to place. : ) The camp was from friday to sunday, about 24 children paritisipated, which imo was quite a good number.
It was very hard to get the boys to sleep, usually around 1:00 am they started sleeping.. >_>
Even one troublesome child can cause some chaos.. : D
Basically what really made my time at the camp was being with the children and listen to what they had to say. And I was really suprised when this little cute girl came and asked me to spin her around and lift her up into the air, which was a great experience. Also that she wanted to me to hold her in my arms/embrace (hold a child in one's arms).
Abit less fun happening on the camp was when these two boys couldn't behave, actually they couldn't behave too often overout the time when the camp was. And so this time when they started to behave rudely agains eachother, as in fighting and teasing eachother, I had to seperate them, take the other, actually take him under his arms and drag him to a separate room, where the the leader of the camp was, just to cool the kid down for awhile. And what amazed me was, that he didn't really struggle that much, even though he knew now he had done something very wrong. And he sat very silently at his chair, which was kinda agains his nature to be quiet. =) Didn't use extreme force, took him very softly to the other room, he didn't struggle.
Have you ever been a guide/instructor on a childrens camp? Or have you ever worked with children? If so, share some of your experiences on this front.. I'd love to hear! : )
