There are the pictures of the camp flood that I took on my cell phone.




Tree in the Lower Meadow


Lower Meadow
The dry parts are up higher


Porch to the dining hall about to be flooded even though it's much higher up than the meadow


Log that sits under a tree that had been picked up and carried away by the water











That's the swinging bridge going between Jr. and Sr. High. There is usually a 10 foot drop between the bridge and the water







Standing at Jr. High, looking at the creek that runs under the bridge. Everything across from the pink lines used to be land and is now part of the creek


Lower Meadow from the staff lounge above the kitchen



But apparently we're opening the camp for the rest of the summer! We were supposed to have the first half of next week off anyway, so the staff is all going back Wednesday. Woot!

Well, it flooded last year, but it wasn't during the camp season. I'm a pretty laid back person... even in emergencies like this where we lost power and had to evacuate and the town and schools had evacuated the day before. Haha. But no one got hurt. It was kind of fun wading through all that water.



I guess it could have been worse. Plus I'm just happy right now that we're able to re-open.

I don't know how ready it will be... apparently there's a lot of damage. But the director decided to re-open for Beginners next week (they are only there from Wed-Sat). So... I guess I'll find out when I get there. Not every part of the camp was flooded, just... the important parts... haha.

I'm pretty much as far from Erie as you can get in PA. I live just outside of Philly in the south east. :P
