The Best and Worst of Spring Camp Agadir 2011

THE BEST

-Gorgeous weather and going to the beach everyday
-Being able to enjoy the weather by not being quite so covered yet still culturally sensitive
-Amazing food all week (except for the coffee)

-My English class (especially learning "head and shoulders" and directions!)
-Helping the youth explore their talents
-Meeting some great youth with huge potential
-Watching as some of the shy girls broke out of their shell

-Holding an "egg drop" competition and seeing how creative the campers became
-Impromptu dance parties!!
-Explaining English jokes to Moroccans (Why is 6 afraid of 7?? Because 7 ate 9! haha!)
-Talent Show on the final night

-Hanging out with three other awesome PCV ladies
-Photo shoots!
-Private bathroom with western toilet







THE WORST
-Killing cockroaches at 1am :(
-Moroccan staff encouraging bad behavior
-Having one boy only speak French to me during an English placement test :(
-the coffee
-being woken up by someone pounding on the door every morning

Overall I would say camp was a huge success. The campers were happy during camp and they were all sad when it was time to leave all their new friends. Moroccan staff were not the most useful but at least they were there and did most of what was expected of them. I would give camp a 7.5 out of 10!
