The Camp

some of my best memories at Camp Edwards. The camp itself is a paradise for kids of almost any age. Across the seemingly endless campground, there are tons of exciting activities that campers can participate in, such as sailing and archery. Camp Edwards sits right beside a huge lake, making the entire camp feel separate from the rest of the world, a utopia of sorts. Across the vast water to the right sat a lonely island that some campers had an opportunity to swim to. The entire swim was probably close to a mile long! One of the many noteworthy memories I have from camp is when a group of friends and I signed up for a sailboat race- none of us knew how to sail. Obviously, the one requirement was that at least one of us had to know how to sail, but we easily lied and were allowed to enter the race. The race was between two boats at a time and all my friends had to be split up to create teams of three. The first team to sail had to face an experienced team. Immediately they found themselves struggling to even get the boat moving. Ryan, one of my friends, was in charge of the daggerboard, which was needed to keep the boat balanced going upwind. Being 15 years old and having no sailing experience, Ryan nor anyone among us knew how to actually put the daggerboard in. When he did eventually get it in, the group floundered around trying to get the sail in the right position to sail…

Arrival at the Camp As soon as Hitler raised into power, he had the mentality that only the white race was superior and had to exist. This led to the existence of the concentration camps. At the point when the casualties touched base to the eradication camps in stuffed trains, they were pushed out onto the landing ramp.here, German SS-men and ruthless Ukrainian watchmen constrained them to hand over their effects and their garments. The majority of the casualties had been informed that they…

Camp Widjiwagan (Rough Draft) Albus Dumbledore once said, “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” Often, when summer comes around, many kids begin to dream about summer camp. Some of those kids actually get to live those dreams like I did, at Camp Widjiwagan, this summer. It was one week of a Harry Potter themed, outdoors day camp. Camp Widjiwagan was one of the best camps I’ve been to complete with fun and new learning experiences from the new and different people, to all the…

moment I was at home, getting ready to leave my house for my final day as a camp counselor and for the final day in Willow Grove Day camp’s sixty-two year history. I threw on my staff shirt and mesh shorts, grabbed a quick chocolate chip granola bar for the road, lathered up my SPF 30 lotion, compiled my backpack and waited for my ride. The drive to camp was an emotional one for me. I had spent fifteen of my eighteen summers at this camp, the same camp, that has thrived for over six decades.…

I was interested in two topics. One topic being camp life and the other being prison camps. I was interested in the topic of prison camps because I had completed a project in Language Arts about concentration camps. I wanted to see how similar or how different they were to each other. I was more interested in camp life than prison camps because I can compare how they lived and how I live. I was intrigued to see what their daily routine was. The “Camp Life” was not the dream life theses…

Boot camp programs are short-term residential programs recognized for their familiarity with facilities often seen in the military . Participants are typically assigned to squads and housed in dorms that are closely related to those of military barracks. They are put…

One of them that has struck many as a very positive program is boot camps for any offender including juvenile offenders. Boot camps are one variation of shock incarceration. Shock incarceration is a short period of incarceration followed by a sentence reduction(Clear, 2006, p.229). Boot camps however, are physically rigorous, disciplined, and demanding regimens emphasizing conditioning, education and job…

Auschwitz is a system of concentration/death camps that were opened in 1940, and maintained by the Nazi soldiers (History). It is located in southern Poland. The camp was originally used to hold political prisoners, but later on it was converted into an extermination camp for the Jewish people, and other enemies of the Nazi’s. Also, when the camp was operational, torturous medical experiments were being done to the prisoners of the camp. This camp is the most known concentration camp, and it is…

Around 1.3 million people were transported to Auschwitz, while around 1.1 of them died there. (“Auschwitz 2”) Auschwitz was sadly one of the most efficient concentration camps, mainly because of the large amount of Jews killed there, it was located in southern Poland, and started off as a detention center for prisoners. It soon evolved into something much worse, a death camp where men, women, and children were all murdered, usually by gas chambers, burning in the crematoria, or simply by…
