Summer Camp Narrative

Improved Essays
I spent the summer of 2016 at a summer camp. It had been the longest time I had spent away from home. I met a guy there. He felt like home. He was very judgemental and persuasive. He didn't let me think on my own and he gave me an opinion of everything I did. He was just like my parents. I ended up dating him within a few days. He rushed into a relationship way too quickly, but he was exactly what my parents wanted. After all, isnt that what matters most, to please my parents? He lived in another state. After camp ended we dated for a short time before the distance gave me room to realize how unhealthy the relationship was. I broke up with him and he was furious. I felt guilty for hurting him. I don't like hurting people, it's not my nature …show more content…
He didn't go for the exit, but instead, he drove towards the back of the parking lot. I was so confused what was happening. I assumed he knew a short cut to get to my grandparents house. He drove to the very back of the lot and parked the car. This made me very uneasy and I asked him what he was …show more content…
I was in shock and before I knew it I was in the back of his car, naked. He forced himself on me. I was a 130 pound 5'7 16-year-old girl who was being raped by a 6 foot 190-pound 18-year-old extremely strong guy. After a few moments, I realized that I could get out of it. I don't know why exactly it took me so long, but I do know I was so scared for my life that I went along with it. While he was raping me I took the palm of my hand and with all of my strength I hit his nose and he got off of me and was holding his nose. I fought towards the door with my clothes and ran into hiding. I quickly put my clothes on and started walking around trying to find my way back to my grandparent's house in a city I had never been in before. I didn't want to call anybody for help because my parents don't have the same view about sexual assault and rape like I wish they did. If I had called 911 they would've called my family and it would be a big ordeal. I couldn't handle to go through more trouble than I already had gone through that night. I was walking along the road after asking a stranger for the directions towards my grandparent's

    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.…

    A girl by the name of Leslie Marmon Silko was born in Albuquerque in 1948. She was born in a time where violence was a huge factor in her life.

    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.…

    I just got done with my shift to protect Camp Half-Blood feeling very tired and stressed. With the camp’s protection being down and most of the campers going back to their families for the summer, this meant that there were very few of us to guard our safe haven. Not to mention I was still recovering from my broken ankle. I decided to take a walk down to the beach near the camp. Lately, I’ve found the sound of crashing waves, wind brushing through my hair, and the slight smell of salt hitting my face very soothing ever since I had met my best friend, Percy Jackson.…
