lengthy application for a counsellor job at the Teton Valley Ranch Camp in Dubois, Wyoming. My stomach had that sinking feeling that I would be leaving my comfortable, close-knit home to work at a ranch camp 2,610 miles away. My friends were close by, and my daily routines were very comfortable. Surely there had to safer jobs nearby, and I was a little nervous already about heading out to college…

The only time we left camp was when we needed to replenish our marshmallow stock for s’mores. While at the store, my friend’s Mom called my parents from the pay phone to coordinate a time to drop me off (we had two days left.) After playing games and laughing with us for days, my friend’s Mom was reserved and quiet on the way back to camp. Upon returning to camp, being carefree and 12 years old, we went outside to build the campfire and soon…

they all ran out. While they were out a young girl with blond braids appeared out the window of a black car and it looked to be Larissa, but then she left. Then some of the people ran away from the train because it could explode and they walked to the camp. Lida ran into Juli when she got their. Then Juli got a gun and walked out and shot and killed Officer Schmidt but sadly Juli was also shot. Then while Lida is going to another workcamp she runs into a girl that has her cross necklace. At the…

If making friends was surviving, I sure as hell wasn’t a survivor. When I first signed up for the camp, it was to get my parents off my back. “Do something with hockey, Sophie, you don’t want to fall behind.” The instant my parents didn’t believe in me was the second I thought I was up for the challenge. I was wrong. By the time summer rolled around, I forgot about the camp completely. When my parents told me to pack my bags because it was time for purgatory, I was terrified. Once upon a time, I…

this society. This spring camp was put together last year and I did not grasp the concept…

withdrawals those kids felt. As a middle school student, I attended Hartford County 4H Camp which banned technology from the camp’s premises. At first, I thought a whole week without my iPod shuffle and my flip cellphone would be torturous. However, after a few hours of attending the camp I did not seem to miss technology at all. By the end of the week, I really did not want to go back home to technology. After camp I vowed to spend less time with technology and more time outside. Since it was…

I was about to have a big week ahead of me. I was thirteen years old when I embarked on a journey to go camping with my church friends at a place called the Wilds. I have been to a Christian camp before, but I had never been without my parents. It felt substantially odd that I was going to a Christian camp without my family for one whole week. I was tragically confused with several emotions such as excitement, fear of the unknown, and worry. As the bus left the church parking lot, I watched…

by other Indians and appropriately pitied by non-Indians.”. The author talks about the lack of education in the reservations and how they can change it. This explains the whole point of the article that his culture does not accept knowledge. He hates that this is the case so he wants them to change the way they think. The author expresses the struggle of bad reading and writing education for Indians and how he wants the Indian youth to be more ambitious. The author was raised in a Indian…

Archaeological Center stated, “More than 8,500 men, women, and children were forced to leave their homes in northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. In the dead of winter, they made the three hundred-plus-mile trek to a desolate internment camp along the Pecos River in eastern New Mexico called the Bosque Redondo Reservation, where the military maintained an outpost, Fort Sumner.” Although this had nothing to do with the Sioux, they still were seen as a target and could have been taken…
