The Camp

The place I decided to write about was church camp. This specific church camp has held many important memories to me over the past 8 years. Some of my fondest moments were held in this church camp. It takes place in the Black Hills,which is in Rapid City, South Dakota. Some of my favorite memories include the day I met my best friend; also the day my oldest brother surprised us all after not seeing him for 4 years. He was away in Afghanistan. I still remember this day very clear as if it was…

the sight of gleaming city lights with the glowing silver shine of the moon resting in the sky could also be a definition of a beautiful place. Hume Lake Christian Camp is my definition of a beautiful place. It is located in the Sequoia National Forest in Hume, Fresno County, California. As we, as campers, arrived closer to the camp, our pupils dilated and jaws dropped in awe, reminding me of a child on Christmas morning as he set his eyes on the glamorous pine tree and the sparkling gifts…

Outdoor Education Camp – English Narrative The realization had hit me, like a ton of bricks; I would be sleeping in a tent for next three nights with my group consisting of Andrew and Sean. I checked my contraband phone, it was 8 of October 2017. “I’d be back on the 11th”, I had thought myself. The rusty, dusty bus had hauled to a stop, I knew that we were on the Tapanapa camp ground and that this was our stop. Strapping on the heavy, uncomfortable rucksack it sank in that I would be carrying…

Describe the ideal summer camp counselor. In what ways do you meet this ideal, and how can you improve? * The ideal summer camp counselor is enthusiastic, inclusive, caring, and fun.

Ever since I was a kid, I have always wanted to go camping with my family because of the television shows or movies I watch, but we really never gotten a chance to give it a time. So since then, I never expected I’d experience camping until Camp Us was discussed to us in school, during our GE class. Honestly, when I heard of it, childish it may sound, I got really excited and I looked forward to going whether it was required or not. I already thought of how it is going to be; the activities we…

After a long year, I finally was back at La Semana, a week long adoption camp for kids from Latin American countries. After the joyous reunion hugs and hellos, I headed off to my classroom that I would be helping in. Glancing out the window I instantly knew that it was one of those picture perfect days. The sun already shining, and a cool breeze just strong enough to lightly brush through my hair. Back in the classroom however, the temperature was not so pleasant. In the doorway, a little girl…
