Were you obligated to sing songs around a camp fire? That has to be the suckiest part of your job...I feel for you...and don't let them talk you into the week long trip without a raise.
I would have welcomed a fire... because that means roasted marshmellows!
I'm not sure a raise would even offset the pain of a week long trip. Keeping track of teens on a remote woodsy camp is difficult enough. Add city streets, accessability to alcohol, and you've got trouble. This year they didn't even fight me when I said I had "zero intention" of going. I thought for sure they'd guilt me into going, but they just put me in charge of those kids who choose not to go. Even though the trip is to San Francisco (which would have been fun), I think I'd go crazy babysitting for a week. I hate being responsible for more than 8 hours at a stretch!
