This has been my very first year at 4-H camp ever, and I am here as a teen leader. It was hard having campers ask you where things are when you're not really sure yourself, but you learn quickly. You also learn quickly that the staff like to pull some pranks on the first year teens. My new friend, Bobo the monkey, and I learned to tie a bandana and after I had been blindfolded, I got a facefull of banana , but I got the staff back because they think I'm allergic. --Adam
