English camp was normal. It's always fun for me to go to english camp and be part of the activities. I think it's amazing that these Thai schools dedicate a full day to english learning. It's pretty awesome when you think about it. English camp wasn't different from the others: there was singing, laughing, having fun, taking lots of pictures, and last but not least the CHICKEN DANCE! It's always funny to watch the kids try to do the chicken dance, and it's always funny to try to do it. 
The only difference with this camp from the others was that there were lots more native english speakers. Four men were there helping: one from Sweden who has been here for ten years and is currently married to a Thai lady, so he's bilingual... one from America, specifically Pittsburgh, yeah for the east coast!!, and I believe he's got a Thai girlfriend... one from England... and one from Canada who looks really old. This group of men was really funny to watch, they had a lot of energy and it was obvious they loved the kids. It was fun to converse with these men, too. I've come to appreciate people who speak english!
Leah and I manned a station by ourselves. We were in charge of the worksheet station and drawing. The drawings were the best. I'd shout out a word and the students would have to draw it, some of their drawings were HILARIOUS. These kids have such wild imaginations!!
Camp was fun, and it might be last one I attend here. Summer time is approaching fast for these kids. All schools will be finished in a few weeks. That means there will be no schools open and no more english camps... :( Hopefully, schools will open right before we leave and maybe, MAYBE, we will be able to squeeze in one or two before we leave at the end of April.
