my friend is going to be a mothers helper in raninu, are mother helpers considered nerdy????????? thnx!!!!!!!

omgalwayz, Depends how confident she is. I remember this adorable girl that was a mothers helper in camp faygah. She dressed with it, had a lot of friends and loved her job. She didnt walk around shlumping while pushing a carriage. Its a great way to be able to get to camp whe money is tight.
Pple do not such cool things but if they are confident with themselves it doesnt come across nerdy.

Ah i have a questionnn. one of my really awesome close friends is gonna be working as a mothers helper this summer. but she doesnt know anybody going there, shes extremely outgoing and is sweet and has a huge sense of humor, and an all together amazing friend. no matter what i tell her, shes still a little nervous that she wont meet anybody there. you have experience, what do you think??

reminds me of my first year, i came from the middle of no where and did not know anyone!i was really worried, but raninu is a VERY out going camp and all the girls (well except the kids whoose parents work there, and they think they own the whole world)are very nice! after 2 years i know practically half the camp! and as they say, all klal yisroel is connected! i met many people related/friends of people from my city!

Ok. So is raninu a place where you are like judged depending on what brands of clothing you wear, or how many friends you make?
Posted 11 months ago # -
no, not nessissarily i didnt wear any brands like juicy and hello kitty, and i was fine! if you just look friendly and nice youll make plenty of friends!
Posted 11 months ago # -
Totally not! it does not matter what you wear. Everyone is very friendly! by the way i was a chatzotzrah jc also...when it was year 11 in camp!
shnitzlalltheway- which half is your friend going this summer? I'm going 2nd half!Posted 11 months ago # -
shnitzalltheway- not at all!- when ppl call it jappy they *don't* mean that 1)everyone is 2)the kids are mean! everyone get's along and no one judges anyone based on what they wear- even ages don't matter! my campers had friend in age groups 2 years older! and i was friends with kids a few yrs younger too!-
its a chilled matzev- do you have a blue sweatshirt that says "it's a chilled matzav!" ? i was a major that yr! -Posted 11 months ago # -

its a chilled matzev- i think she is going both, but im not sure. what are you going as??
okay thanks guys! ill send her to this site and hopefully she'll be a little more excited!Posted 11 months ago # -
Ya definitely and I know literally half of RANINU, I would have ppl I had never seen in my life come up to me and say " you like nice, what's your name?" and theses kids were anywhere from 9-18 trust me, age is just a number!
Posted 11 months ago # -
so shopping613, you arent going this year?
also, ok is it a bad idea if she goes both halves and doesnt know anybody to begin with?Posted 11 months ago # -
what are mods?
Posted 11 months ago # -
no i cnt go back unfortunately, id say why but thats private info! it is not a bad idea, but she may get homesick! mods are the people that make sure nothing inappropriate is posted onto this site, they look through every post before it gets put online and if they think a post is too long to read through, or unfit you will not see it online!
Posted 11 months ago # -
no not at all!! i went my first year (a long time ago)no knowing a soul, and i made my best friends there, and there still one of my closest friends today! also if you stay whole summer youll for sure befriend a couple of kids who are also staying whole summer, so she would know ppl 2nd half
Posted 11 months ago # -
its a chilled matzav- what bunk where u a jc for in year 11??
Posted 11 months ago # -
haha well thats a good idea to have mods.
alrightyyy then! i will let her know that raninu definitely is not a scary place after all :D
oh and also whats the best staff job someone could get?Posted 11 months ago # -
hmmm...well it depends, a counsler and jc is most enjoyable cuz you still get to do activities but it still costs money.....but if your looking in high up in the ranks then a head counsler is better, of course you have to be much more crazy, and willing to dress up and embaress yourself every day :)

Posted 11 months ago # -
Well ropes you need to be strong to hold up the kids all day on a harness, boats you need lifegaurdkng or wtvr and water/boats expireince!
Posted 11 months ago # -
