Camp Tecumseh: A Short Story

Do you remember the first time you went to camp? During the fall of 2014, I had the most aghast time at Camp Tecumseh. At camp, everybody stayed in a cabin. The cabins were filled with the same genders. It was a moist Monday morning with a heavy fog. Approximately at 8: 30 am the morning, my mom dropped me off at the front of Hamilton Southeastern Junior High. I soon got out of the car and pulled my two black, trash bags out of the trunk of the car. The trash bags had covered my bags.
