A Day in the Life of a Helper

Facebook

 

Of course, every day is unique, but here is an example of a typical day.

Around 7am - Get up, showered, dressed. Have a nice hot cuppa and a chat with other helpers in the early morning sun...or mist....or possibly rain! Speak to the helpers who were on night duty for any news/incidents in the night. Check the chores roster for the tasks you, your camper and the rest of your group have been assigned for the day. This might be washing up, cleaning the shower block, tidying the site, kitchen helpers, etc.

Around 7.30am - Get your camper up, washed/showered and dressed. This may include helping with a visit to the toilet and other things you may do for yourself. Breakfast will be prepared for all campers and helpers and will be eaten together in the dining room.

During the day - This is the time for activities such as preparing for shows, going for a swim, a visit to town, or even a day trip. Time must also be found to do the chores. Remember, your camper will want to help as much as possible and should be encouraged to do so.

Evening - This is the time for a show, or karaoke, or a party, a campfire barbeque, or simply a casual game of cards or a chat as the sun goes down and the stars come out.

After helping your camper to bed, you may have enough energy left for a chat with your fellow helpers about the day's activities before climbing into your sleeping bag and getting some sleep before starting a whole new day in the morning.

Of course, you may have volunteered to do night duty, so your sleeping bag may have to wait until morning!
