The Lost Boys are back in Never-Never Land. Our new high ropes course has been christened Hurwitz-Ivers Never-Never Land and is also known and the Odyssey III (official name) and the Unicorn Playground/Ranch (my Gesher chug). It consists of eight separate events on two levels, not counting the two entrance cargo nets or the zip line which serves as an alternate means of egress. We, the climbing staff have been dubbed the Lost Boys, though we have two ladies on staff as well. As NNL is our new stomping grounds, we have had several tzevet aidot (staff of certain age groups) go on it, with varying levels of success but consistently high levels of fun. The downsides of NNL are threefold: We spent two whole days of staff week learning and exploring it, it takes one group of 8 about 1.5 hours to finish a level (each timeslot is only 45 minutes long) and it takes a lot of time to clean up. Otherwise it is immensely popular with us and with everyone else in camp. There was a drought in the state of Georgia when I began to write this entry (6/11) now when I am posting it, there has not been a day without rain at camp and we have had at least three fabulously loud and violent thunderstorms including the one detailed in the next entry.
