A Day in the Life at the Camp
` Everyone has a favorite place to go. Sometimes it 's a secret place, but it does not have to be. Most people like fancy things but it doesn 't take much to make me happy. My favorite place to go is a little fishing camp in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi. This little yellow camp on the bayou may not be special to anyone else, but it 's special to me. There have been so many good times and memories made here. This isn 't everyone 's cup of tea because everything to be done is outside. I love it but I also love being outside. We usually fish all day, grill, and fish late into the night.But this particular memory is about fishing. I go to the camp every weekend during the summer, and it’s pretty much my life. I remember one weekend in particular. It was one of the first times I had been down at the camp. When I first got there I took my bags upstairs and excitedly unpacked my clothes. I took my fishing gear out of the truck and went to the dock. The dock is old and consists of wooden boards, there is a bench on the dock or you can bring your

After the first few casts I wasn 't catching anything.I fished for a while longer and still didn 't catch anything. I changed my lure multiple times and still didn 't catch anything.”Man there ain’t any fish in here.”, I said. This was the worst feeling in the world.I only heard my line hitting the water, there were no other sounds. I was disappointed but I rigged my fishing pole differently one last time but,with a little hope left,I threw out one last line.. The sun was sinking and I grew more and more impatient.“If I don’t catch anything on this cast i’m packing up and leaving.” I waited for a few minutes and started to reel in my line. I felt something bump my line and I yelled “YES!!!” as I was reeling and I jerked the pole to set the hook. My excitement was steadily building as I reeled the

    In which case, I don't continually catch trout. I vary my fly-tying from commercial patterns, by using a different color feather or thread. Keeping a list of all the items that I need to take fishing, is crucial to me. That way, there is no question of leaving anything out when I prepare.…

    If you are in search of walleyes, you stand a better chance of success if you fish along the shore in sandy areas, but this is not always the case. They do also enjoy being in the current and along the shore, especially during the spring. During the summer and the fall, they choose deeper waters. Small trout and other species of fish can also be caught along the shore, but they are not prize winning fish. Going out on lakes and rivers in a boat, has been a popular way to fish for many years.…

    Most teenagers would probably tell you that the beginning of their adulthood was marked by having to do laundry for the first time, or being able to drive alone, or perhaps no longer sitting at the children's table at family events. But for me, it happened this past summer, when I made the very difficult decision that I would not return to Coleman Country Day Camp. To those who were not fortunate enough to have grown up at summer camp, this might not seem like such a big decision to make. But Coleman was my outlet, my second home for ten consecutive summers and spending those two months anywhere else seemed inconceivable to me.…

    It was a windy October afternoon when my friend Andrew and I decided to hike a Creasent Trail. Even though the day was a little chilly, Andrew and I still managed to walk the trails. We hiked for about one hour and we were both trailing very far behind each other because we were both so tired. The trails were full of very colorful leaves and we knew that fall was coming. Both of us wore a lot of clothes to keep warm.…

    Every summer I work at Featherbed Lane Day Camp. There I have the opportunity to be a caregiver to the campers from ages 7 months to 13. One time I was paired with the kindergarten girl’s group. It was an amazing time with them because I love young kids, especially the girls since I’m one. One problem I had was giving an equal amount of love and attention to each girl.…

    The trip to a camping site in the middle of a Pennsylvania forest- a trip I would never forget- lead me to the discovery of myself and my transition into adulthood. This trip was through the summer camp I have attended for now eleven years; Liberty Lake Day Camp located in Columbus, New Jersey, is my second home. I grew up in this camp, and when I finally reached the age to become a L.I.T, a leader in training, I was eager to undergo the program with my friends I always attended camp with. This trip was a reward to all the hard work we do as L.I.Ts. Little did I know the annual L.I.T trip to the camping site would be life changing.…

    Thanks the Texas Exes alumni, I was able to go to Camp Texas for free this year. At first I thought that it was like any normal 3- day camping trip, which made me extremely excited since I enjoy camping very much. Once I got there, I realized that it was a different type of camp. I was nervous and scared because I’m not very good at socializing. The reason I’m writing this is because I learned so much about being open minded, accepting, and kind to other people and new experiences.…
