Chapter 2
Of course it
was not easy for Anna to open the camp and she had many difficulties to
overcome, but she was not alone, she had her forest friends. She started
working as a waitress in a small burger place and rented a room in a motel near
the forest. She then with a little luck she got a better job after a while she
started working in a hotel as cleaner and started earning bigger money. It was
not enough to open a camp, it was barely enough for her to save anything after
paying her bills and buying food. Of course Anna was too dedicated to give up
her dream. She was a very hard working and stubborn. Every week she went to the
forest with treats for the only people (well not exactly people) that never
failed her. The next job she got was very good and thanks to that job the camp
was opened. A very wealthy family was looking for a babysitter for their two
kids and when they saw how nice Anna was to them they decided to hire her. The
young girl took the job and worked 5 days a week taking care of 3 year old
twins Pamela and Markus. After working for 2 years Anna became best friends
with the mother of the kids, Catherina. Catherina was a very independent woman
and knew how to take care of her own business because her husband always went
to places all over the world and sometimes had to work there for over a month
not coming home. When Anna’s birthday came her boss and her best friend that
knew what her dream was gave her the money to buy a big piece of land big
enough for her and her friends to live on and open a camp. Of course Catherina
did not believe in any of the things Anna did but she wanted her friends dream
to come. She didn’t only give her money for the land she also gave her money
for whatever she needed to built and get for the camp.
“I can’t take that, Catherina that’s a lot of money”,
Anna said
“Not for me, anyways it’s been you dream forever Anna”,
Catherina answered.
“Thanks, but are you sure?” Anna said with a smile on
her face because she was happy.
“A hundred percent sure, good luck”, Catherina ended
the conversation and left the room
That
was how Anna got the money but that was only the beginning of opening a camp.
Next
Anna had to get electricity and water (her best human friend hired her a crew
of great workers to do it, her friends were not capable of doing things like pluming),
paint the place (she and her friends did it very well) and build everything she
needed to open a camp. She saved money because she did not need to hire anybody
for building, her friends worked for her and they did it for free. They built a
big hut where meals would be served, she built huts where girls could sleep, an
office, a terrace, a dock at the lake and of course she fenced the whole area
because she didn’t want any uninvited guests to see what goes on in the camp.
She and her helpers also built a lovely entrance gate. She had to also build
fake environments like a snow world and a dessert which had glass walls and
roofs around them.
Next she had to order furniture. Anna was a very eco-friendly and that
is why most of the furniture she bought was made from recyclable materials. She
put 4 beds in each sleeping hut. She put lovely tables in the cafeteria and
supplied the kitchen with the best things she could. The terrace was furnished
with hammocks, benches and a grill. Her office had things any office has. After
the camp was filled with furniture Anna decorated it. At the end it looked
great. She designed brochures with the help of Catherina and her children who
were already 4 when she finished building. Catherina also organized an
advertisement in the paper and on television. That’s how most people found out
about it. Anna also started a website and everything was ready for the next
month when the girls were coming.
