The Beginning

After few hours of riding a bus and watching movies campers finally arrived to Lake Placid. As the bus stopped they were enthusiastically greeted by all of the counselors. Then we unloaded the bus and walked to the camp. Fortunately, the weather was good, so we could play some games to get to know each others names better. After couple of minutes we felt quite familiar with each other.
The next big thing, especially for all of the campers was to get to know who will be their counselor, in which cabin and with whom they are going to be. This year it was to be found through the Cabin Picking Machine, which was operated by Mr. Staysniak and Ari - the Assistant Directors of the Camp Monserrate.
After getting to know who we are going to spend most of our summer time with we took time to set up in the cabins. When it came time for us to eat dinner we flew to the dining room and greeted probably the most important person on the camp: our cook - Val. After a delicious dinner we came up to the main hall to get to know a little bit of the great history of the place, how amazing things happened here  throughout the last 50 years and what awaits us. We also got to know each other better as Mr. Salvatierra introduced all of the counselors. 

Throughout the rest of the evening we got to know better the place, the rules of the camp and played for some time with our cabins.
