It was Wednesday morning when everyone started coming to school with big duffel bags, suitcases, backpacks, etc. Half of the grade was tired and cranky while the other half was energetic and crazy. My advisory and I got assigned to the first bus. The bus ride was two hours long with a lot of noise. On the bus  Swifties were singing, people were screaming, intense card games were happening, and lots of talking. Two hours later we finally got there and there was a light drizzle happening. After we got our bags we settled into our cabin and then ate lunch. Once we got to the cafeteria we ate lunch which was a ham and cheese sandwich. In my opinion, the sandwich wasn’t the best but it was okay.

Later we got our bathing suits on and hung out in the cabin until we could go to our activities. In my cabin, we were braiding each other’s hair and talking. Thirty minutes later we went to our activities in our groups and my first activity was Forest Ecology. Forest ecology was fun the first few minutes because we were able to walk around the forest to look for a log. After Forest Ecology we went to the pool with a couple other groups and took a very difficult swim test. The test was very stressful but a lot of people passed. My friends and I went on these really weird rolling things that tip you into the water and tried to learn how to dive. 

After swimming it started raining really hard and my group (which is group 5) was outside going to team building. We had to do 3 different activities. The first one was a hula hoop game where you had to put your body through the hula hoop and try to beat the other team. The second one was a ball game where you had to get the ball back without the person who’s counting see your team with the ball. The last game was really hard and it was a game where you had to get the hula hoop down and pretend there was helium in it without curling your finger under it or tipping it over. My team was very frustrated because we  weren’t communicating with each other properly.  

The next thing we did after dinner was watch a movie called The Lorax  and a lot of stuff happened. They had to stop the movie in the middle of the movie because the hurricane was coming. After everyone got to the cabin and got their pajamas on I realized that there was sand in my bed and it was very uncomfortable. About 2 to 3 hours after I went to sleep I woke up and heard the loud rain banging on the roof and laid there for a bit. After I went back to sleep I woke up to my friend slapping me awake. The whole cabin got up and got dressed about 30 minutes later. After breakfast we all went to our separate activities. I played Jenga with my friends, did forest ecology again and went back to the pool. 

Then, after changing into dry clothes we ate lunch. For lunch was hot dogs and chili which was also not my favorite. Later, we went and played soccer. On the way to soccer we saw three big garden spiders. It was very slippery and a bit fun. After soccer we played some really fun games on the Kanga Jump and then went to the V-Swing. The V-swing was basically this thing that swung you in the air and it was very fun and scary at the same time. Next was dinner and for dinner was chicken and macaroni. In my opinion, that was the best meal I had there. After dinner we had some advisory time and talked about camp and team building. Later we saw an owl then lined up and got paired up to go walk through the woods to make some S’mores. My buddy had a panic attack so I had to calm her down. Once we got to the campfire we learned a song, ate s’mores, and talked about different drama that happened. On the walk back I saw something on four legs run by and I hope I was hallucinating because that was very scary. When I got back to the cabin we got our pajamas on and went to bed. That night I didn’t sleep well at all. When I woke up I realized that there was a wasp in our cabin and everyone started freaking out. After packing up we went to eat breakfast which was waffles and sausage. My first activity was gaga and bubbles. Bubbles was a really cute pig that was very energetic. After we played  we went canoeing which wasn’t that fun because it was very wet and uncomfortable. My last activity was zip lining which was very fun because you got to fly over the lake and see the whole camp. After zip lining we got our stuff, went back on the bus, and went home. On the ride home the bus wasn’t really loud. I had lots of fun talking and having fun with my friends.
