The filled out sign-up form lay flat on the table in front me. I asked Jorge about when to give the form to Mr. Puma, the head coach of the camp. Telling me to go as soon as possible, I went upstairs during lunch, joined by him, to deliver the form.

My shaking leg bounces up and down from not only the excitement, but the nervous feelings in my stomach. I made sure to come extra early to guarantee I did not become one of the last kids filtering in at the final seconds. My fellow…

Grayson rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and walked out of his hole. He went to the center of the camp, but saw nobody. At first he thought that they were still sleeping, but as he went to hole after hole, he knew that they weren’t there anymore.
