CYC is tomorrow and again im not going cuz well im too freaking old :( I really wanna go back, even though at times the counseling team seems to be just puppets of the adults, but summers just arent the same without CYC. Sure there is buddha camp and YLC but there was always sumthing about CYC that made it special. Maybe it was cuz CYC was juss longer and you had more time to be with your friends or maybe it been so much part of my summers that its hard to let go. Anyhow i miss going, i miss having campers for a week and getting to know each one of them. I wanna go back and i had this mater plan I've given this some real thought and well it seemed like a good idea at first but now i dont knoe. The idea was to introduce a class at CYC that focused on the asian-american identity. CYC has primarily focuses on asian culture which is all good dont get me wrong but i thought it would have been a benefit to introduce contemproary asian-american issues to the campers in addition to culture. I have gone as far as to think of a way to appraoch such a workshop which would most likely involve both large and small group discussions. But it has been brought to my attention that any class that doesn't involve consistent physical activity or contains a need for too much thought tends to bore people into falling asleep. The truth to the matter is If such an idea were to become a reality, apathy will be its greatest obstacle.
