Smiling Faces

In case you haven't heard enough about our wonderful staff at Learning on the Log, here is one more post about them! I love looking at all of our photos and seeing image after image of not only the kids having fun, but the staff smiling from ear to ear. Why is this such an accomplishment? Here are a few examples of situations they deal with each day: arguments, mis-understandings, melt-downs, whining kids, HOT temperatures, 11 weeks in a row of work, the stress of keeping 20 kids together.....Working together with other staff whom you have never met before, having to give up every sense of "me" because they have to focus all their attention on the kids....And overcoming their own personal feelings of being uncomfortable in different situations because they have to help the kids through those same uncomfortable situations.....just to name a few. But, even though we are nearing the end of the summer and everyone is EXHAUSTED, physically, emotionally, psychologically, the staff are STILL SMILING. We are so proud of them, and so grateful to them for all of their hard work. We could not do it without them. We always say that our programs are only as good as our staff, and this group has launched us to another level of productivity and enjoyment, as we have heard countless tales from parents and campers alike, with nothing but positive feedback about our staff. 

Do you have any stories to share about our wonderful staff?
