One of my all-time favorite places to be is Camp Caraway. Every year I go to this camp, and most times it’s the highlight of the year. The campground is located in Sophia NC. We go every memorial weekend. The three days there are so amazing, but I do really wish that we could stay longer. Right, when we arrived my sister and I start celebrating and cheering. We get so excited most of the times my parents start yelling at us. The first day is Saturday. We spent 2 hours of the day driving to the campgrounds. When we get there we unload our luggage and get our room. Then my sister and I burst into the room and start jumping on the beads. After that, I go to the bathroom and change my clothes and freshen up. Then my sister and I go downstairs and say hi to all our friends that we haven't seen for a year. Then we go to the main floor and we meet up with our youth leaders and catch up with them too. After a while it's usually snack time, so we go to the cafe and enjoy that. Then we have our worship time and then we divide into our youth groups. After a while we have lunch and every time we go to camp lunch is amazing. Then we're back at youth groups for a bit. The best part of the day comes next. At the campground, there's a huge lake and …show more content…
We can go down to the lake and there are paddle boards, canoes, a giant water trampoline, a rock climbing wall and best of all there is a huge slide. When we have all enjoyed our time and it's time to go, we head to our rooms and take showers. After that, we have another round of worship and youth groups, then lunch, then youth groups, then snacks and back to our classes. As if that wasn't enough we still have hours more to go. By the time we finish our program, it's 10 o’clock p.m. Usually, from there we stay up till 3 or 4 playing around watching tv or playing soccer outside in the
Throughout WWII, people of different countries were interned and imprisoned in camps all over the world. Japanese-Americans on the West Coast were taken out of their homes and placed in internment camps like Manzanar to detain them from communicating with Japan. Families were torn apart in these camps, leaving them scattered across the United States. The Japanese-Americans were deprived of the claim of habeas corpus, and soon they attempted to return to the life that they lived before the war. Even after Camp Manzanar was closed and World War II ended, Japanese-American families on the West Coast still experienced prejudice and unfairness in their new lives.
Many units where on picket duty around the encampment or part of the quartermaster and commissary department to gather supplies in the surrounding

When it comes to fitness, clients believe they will see instant results. A certain percent of individuals are impatient and expect to see changes within a week of exercises. Whereas the other percent will understand it takes more than a few sets of sit ups and planks to achieve their ultimate goal. Over the course of the summer, I was able to see the different workout personalities at D1 Jackson’s “Boot Camp” sessions.
During the time of World War II, many people in Europe who were not of Hitler’s Aryan race had been held captive in concentration camps that were placed in various spots in his conquered land. Two types of camps were touched upon in the memoir. They were either death camps or working camps. Weinberg wrote this memoir in order to preserve the historical facts of the holocaust and share with others for the generations to come of what he had gone through from the ages twelve to eighteen. Taken captive in 1939, Weinberg had gone through five concentration camps such as Terezin and Birkenau where most of his time was spent and had survived. Although he almost did not survive the Death March from Blechhammer in 1945. In this touching memoir, Boy
Everybody knows that summer vacation is the perfect time for a student to forget everything they have learned throughout the school year. Most students just hang out with their friends, or watch TV all summer, and while I love doing these things, but I also know a good opportunity when I see it. The Speed School’s Bridge Camp is obviously an excellent way for me to enrich my summer, get prepared for the Speed School’s track, and just to have fun doing something new.
Day 1: started off bright and early, waking up at 2:30. We left the Calvary parking lot at 3:00 in the morning. We traveled for 16 hours straight with 4 breaks, including lunch then we finally reached our destination. Our first day started off pretty crummy. We arrived late, so everyone was already waiting in the church for supper. We parked the van and all the leaders/homies surrounded our vehicle with plastic bags asking for our phones. We then had to go to eat while meeting with our small groups getting to know each other, but considering we were late everyone already did that but us. It was very uncomfortable but we told ourselves tomorrow will be better.
Driving this way to Camp Gilead will expose you to busy cities and beautiful scenery along the way.
Before I went to Camp Oljato, my friends told me how tiring it is and how they do not really like it. The drive up to Camp Oljato was a quite boring ride. We sat in the car for five hours and only stopped once for lunch. This had me in a pretty bad start for the camping trip. When we finally got there, we had to have a long, boring tour of the camp. One of the things that I liked the least was that I was one of the last people to pick their tent so I got one of the worst tents. The tent had holes in the roof and the walls. Luckily, It did not rain that week. During the week my Scoutmaster would wake us up at 5 am everyday to go fishing. The first day, a couple people caught some fish, but as we were just about to leave, I fish bit my bait. As I was reeling it up, it did not seem that the fish was coming in.

I can never forget the week that I went camping with my friend, Sajan, at Camp Potlatch. It was a windy and stormy day. My parents drove me to a building, where, we got picked up by a bus, which drove to the Plaza of Nations where we got picked up by a boat. The boat then headed to Camp Potlatch in the Howe Sounds. There, I had the most awesome experience camping.

This summer, I went to FUGE camp. FUGE is a Baptist summer camp that is run out of colleges all over the country. Our group was not very big, but that was nice because we all got to know each other better. Our camp was in Jackson, Tennessee, at Union University. We had the theme “Unashamed”. All week we did Bible studies, played games, and got really sweaty. We went to the version called Centrifuge, so we had track times. Track times are two hours that we picked two activities that we liked to do. My tracks for this year were drama and choir. They were really fun, and best of all they were inside, away from the heat. Some other tracks were sports, like volleyball and basketball, and others were evangelism tracks. I would have
STEM camp will allow 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grade students to collaboratively explore, investigate and discover STEM subjects in a stimulating learning environment, away from the constraints of the school timetable or a prescribed curriculum. This allows students and their camp leaders to work together and explore many different ideas and activities. Activities may involve practical experiments, projects, investigation, building challenges, using technology and critical thinking and communication skills work.
All season I’m asked, “How’s camp going?” and “What have you been up to?” My responses? “Awesome!!” and “Plenty!!”
