Girls Camp-Camp Angelos, Springdale Oregon 2009

I think this is my 9th or 10th year of Girls Camp, and probably my 8th year of being the nurse. Being the nurse at Girls camp is always very busy 24/7. Some years are busier than others. This year was a lot of fun because James was there with me. It was our first year at Camp Angelos which is actually only about 5 miles from our home. We spent 6 days experiencing what life would have been like had we had daughters.

James was rafting 100 miles down the Deschutes River last week with the Scouts and this week he was with 70 teen age girls. He was amazed at the drama and all the emotion.






Camp Angelos-The weather was nice, chilly in the morning, but warming up in the afternoon. We didn't have any rain.
























This was the most posh nurses quarters I have ever had! We had our own building. When you came into the entryway, you could turn to the right and enter the hospital which had three beds, or you could turn to the left and enter the nurses quarters. Both had an entrance into a large bathroom. It was really very nice...and quiet--when you weren't getting woken up with a problem. The nights were always late because the girls would come and need something. There were a couple of nights where we were awakened in the middle of the night for something. During the day we treated a lot of skinned toes, the girls ran barefoot despite my pleas to wear shoes. There were a lot of muscle sprains, headaches and some bee stings. We sent one girl down to have a CT scan of her appendix, which (fortunately) was fine, she came back that night. Of course there was the teen drama stuff too! Thursday night, between 8:30 PM and 11:30 PM I saw 10% of the camp. I was really grateful to James for his excellent triage skills!







There was some quiet time for James. Here he and DeWin decided to have a chat and they both fell asleep talking to each other. Obviously they are very boring.
