Dawg Camp Research Paper

The sun rose, my Vigil concluded, and I was fetched back to the main campground. The motto of the Vigil was introduced, “leadership in service,” a capstone to the surreal lesson the restless night had delivered. I returned to school, band, Scouts, and the other organizations with which I was (and currently am) affiliated, and I reexamined my involvement in each through this newfound

As the week progressed and friendships formed between everyone, I realized the importance of the camp to all that were involved. To the counselors it was a learning experience, as well as a time to appreciate all that we would usually take for granted; to the campers it was a time to learn and make new friends, and for most of them, it would also serve as their only form of a summer vacation. So although we were all exhausted by the end of the week, we had a great time.

It was a balmy July morning when my family and I drove out to Lycoming College to begin my week at PFEW. An uneasy feeling set in as I realized that I will be surrounded by strangers in an uncommon environment for a whole seven days. Adding onto this stress was the fact that I have never been away from my parents for more than one night. Upon my arrival, all of the camp participants were ushered to a large auditorium and given a welcome presentation. Looking around at all the unfamiliar faces, I felt the urge to call my parents and avoid

“Like father, like son; like mother, like daughter,” right? Well in this case it’s surprisingly not. In the 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, Janie Crawford, raised by her grandmother, does not follow the family cycle of getting violently raped by a white man and having a child at a young age. Family cycles are scientifically proven, stating that patterns in previous generations will most likely continue in the following generation, unless somehow prevented. Nanny, who dearly cares for Janie, is beyond protective, only because she fears for her granddaughter’s safety.

The rough times, the hungry days , the cold nights they suffered through. According to the background essay, it was winter at camp Valley Forge in Philadelphia during 1777-1778. George Washington led a continental army to train soldiers to fight in the american revolution against Britain. If you had been a soldier in Washington’s army would you have given up and left? I know if I were a soldier at Valley Forge I would quit because of the cold winters, numerous amounts of deaths and illnesses and also the harsh conditions.

Walter Camp founded American football in 1869. He is known as the “Father of American Football." Camp developed rule changes that cast the foundation of modern American Football. The sport started to rise and many people wanted to play or watch football. Steroids and concussions where main problems that are associated with football. Anabolic Steroids retain protein like the hormone testosterone to help build muscle. For football players, steroids are tempting because of the fast results in gaining weight and muscle in short amounts of time.

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.

I want to work at camp because I would like to give back. I have attended MFU camp for the past 11 years and I want to give back to MFU and the experience that I had during my years at camp. I would like to make an impact on kids’ lives and help create amazing memories, just like how previous councilors have done for me. I want to help change kids’ lives and give them a week that they will not forget.

As a coaching staff, we would like to thank all who participated in Bobcat Camp this last week. In preparation for this upcoming season we felt the camp was a great springboard to building team discipline and camaraderie.

Star Camp was the largest of the five satellite camps, containing eighteen barracks. It held Jewish inmates that were appointed for exchange. These prisoners did not wear the usual concentration camp garbs but instead were allowed to wear their own clothes. However, they were forced to wear a yellow Star of David, which gave that camp the name of star camp.

Major growth of Sheep Camp rose in the early months of 1898. Forty log buildings were erected and a post office was operating by early April. Tents and buildings stretched across the narrow valley in April of 1898 and the town’s length extended from one to two miles (Norris 1986). A newspaper reported that Sheep Camp had two drug stores, a hospital, fifteen hotels and restaurants, coffee stands, two laundries, a bath house, numerous saloons, and lodging houses too numerous to mention (Norris 1986). The majority of people coming into Sheep Camp did so by dragging sleds, hauling packs, or leading pack animals. A rough winter road also reached the camp allowing a small number of people to arrive by wagon. During a brief period in time, a well

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.

There were multiple funny moments which left people laughing for ages, and it was good to see people socialising with each other. One thing that could’ve been a good idea for everyone get to know each other better, would be to do more group activities as we didn’t really have the time to do any. The whole camp was pretty memorable, and I could definitely look back at it and remember it pretty well. Would be good to do it again, but would be easier with less

I also remember that this was when I developed the habit of when I saw someone staring at me I would hide my face with a wall of hair. Around age 14 I was introduced to Camp New Friends, and finally had a chance to meet more people with NF, I was painfully shy that year and would again hide behind my hair, but I made some of the best friends who understood what I was going through, this was also my first taste of what MPNST was, when one of the girls I met there passed away a few months after camp, I skipped the next year, but went when I was 16 and was a CIT, and this is what helped me come out of my shell and start becoming comfortable in my own skin. Around this time in my life I had been discussing removing the facial tumors with a plastic
