Camp Hazen was a great experience and definitely an experience to remember. Two of my favorite times were being in Cabin 8 with all my friends. It was crazy fun. Another one of my favorite times there was the alpine tower and swing. It allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. Here’s the story. Being in cabin 8 was the best situation possible. We were away from all the crazy boys in a nice cabin having the best conversations with some of my favorite people in the school. We had an exuberant bond that felt really nice and we all looked out for each other. Each night was a pleasant surprise. We talked about really deep topics and it felt really good to let anything that I have had in my mind for a while. We would always have a new topic
During the summer before my Freshman year I went to hell and back, and by hell I mean Philmont scout ranch. Just a little background, Philmont scout ranch is 140,117 thousand acres of big rugged, dry, mountainous terrain. I knew what I was getting into, Ever since I joined boy scouts Philmont was regarded as the ultimate scouting experience, so of course i was pressured into that. Eventually summer rolled around and before I knew it I was on a train to New Mexico.
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.
On March 11, 1862, Lincoln made the decision to remove McClellan as General-in-Chief, demoting him to command only the Army of the Potomac. Chief of Staff, Peyton March, sent a telegram to McClellan in refence to his orders and instructed him to speak first to Governor Dennison. Suspicious of this message McClellan refused the invitation to Washington or to speak to Dennison. Later, the General wrote to his wife that the rascals of Washington were after him again and that if he could come out of this, he would never get himself in this position again. Because of this refusal, he learned of his demotion via the National Intelligencer, a Washington newspaper. Although many leaders in the government continued to resent the commander, he was still
Camp Middle Moose was one of my best days ever! It's one week of awesomeness! I get to try new things next year, and then try other things in the next. One week you get to spend at Camp Middle Moose, it's so exciting! It might be a drag from doing a lot of things that you are not used to, but you can get over it in a day, just have fun.
In 1949, a large group of Chinese immigrants was pushed out of Sonora and looking for a new town to settle. These Chinese immigrants had war stricken families back in their homeland, so going back wasn’t an option. A small camp was established and as the Gold Rush grew and grew so did this camp. Until, the camp had a population of around 5,000. This camp was called Washingtonville and Camp Washington. In modern days, it is referred to as Chinese Camp.
Then we took a walk through Sievers, which is the woods on one side of camp. In the woods we looked for the lost cabin and were told the story about what the Indians did to the kids in the lost cabin. After that we went to supper, had cabin time, and got to know eachother better. Then we had campfire and my first ever serious Devos, which was amazing. The second day I wanted to wake up early to go do early morning clubs, but I was so tired that I fell back asleep. I was woken up again for breakfast later and went on to the rest of the day. The first full day of camp I swam during the entire freetime.
Camp Ozark and its partner youth group, Ozone helped me in high school to develop my relationship with The Lord and my purpose to serve Him. The leaders and counselors that I knew encouraged me and guided me as I got to know Jesus. They are one of my biggest influences in wanting to do ministry in college and after. My relationship with my dad was something that hindered my self-perception and my relationship with Jesus. We had a tough relationship, as he fought a lot with my mom and also dealt with depression. I had a hard time understanding God as a perfect father, but over time I have come to learn what it means to have a perfect Heavenly Father, one that loves me unconditionally and rejoices in me. I have always had high expectations for
World War ll was a very devastating time for the world. Over 60 million people died in this war, and about 6 million of them were jews killed in concentration camps. This war that lasted 6 years, is still remembered today as one of the worst in history. Concentration camps where places where people were kept, killed, and tortured. Throughout this essay I will explain how the jews, gypsies, homosexuals, political people, criminals, and innocent people were labeled, enslaved, and how they were treated in concentration camps.
Concentration Camps were an imfamous event in WWII. But, not in a good way. Concentration Camps were not only the place where millions of innocent people were brutally murdered. They were so much more. During WWII, there were over 1,200 camps that were run by Nazi Germany. They were placed all over Europe and held many people of different beliefs, races, abilty, age, and religion. Hitler, the “ruler” over the Nazis, sent millions of people to their death to these camps. There were a few different types of camps that held different ways of handling the prisioners.

Other know as Death camps or Extermination camps the Concentration camps have a horrible reputation. This was all for good reason. These camps housed people that were thought to be a danger to the German society. These prisoners were usually abused mentally and physically, they were held under extreme circumstances. The people in these camps were captured and detained without any trial or standard procedures applying to arrest and custody. The prisoners in these camps often had differing opinions on religions and practices. Other prisoners in the camps were prostitutes, homosexuals, alcoholics, drug addicts, the mentally ill, the blind, the deaf, convicts, democrats. For all of these ‘crimes’ they were sentenced death or a life of imprisonment.
Imagine this: You are a Jew. You are loaded into a train car with several other people. It takes you to a camp and you don’t know what’s going on. Nazis are shouting stern commands to you in German to strip down and separate from your family. They take all of your belongings and tell you that you won’t need them. Worried, scared, and frightened, you are ushered into a large chamber with hundreds of other people. Then the gas filters in. You and everyone else are dead within 20 minutes. This is how it was for the prisoners of Nazi death camps during the Holocaust. Here are the examples of death camps, Treblinka and Belzec, and also how it was in any Nazi death camp.
Concentration camps are apart of holocaust history, but there is more to it. The facts prove that they were very organized in a horrible way. Words have been changed, people prosecuted for their religion because it's not “right” but the passion they put in these concentration camps show how blinded they were, and scared of Homosexuals, Jewish people and others. It's a pity others had to go through this and it's still a stain on our history today that will remain forever.
Have you ever heard of extermination camps? Well, you are about to find out what they are. Extermination camps are where people were mass killed. There were six of these extermination camps. These extermination camps were all located throughout German occupied Europe. The Holocaust was a very traumatic event that caused an eye-opener for humans about how bad the extermination camps could have been.
I am researching Concentration Camps and the first concentration camp was in Germany and was established so Adolf Hitler had a place for Jews and prisoners. They made these camps for Jews and prisoners. They don’t feed you in these camps. They never give you warmth.
