Camp Jackson

on time to go!” Tom's mom screamed. Every summer Tom has to go to summer camp. His parents are traveling all the time because of work. Bill really doesn't like to go, he’s not the “athletic type.” Tom does not have a lot of friends and keeps to himself. As bill walks down the stairs to the car he feels a little overwhelmed. Bill has gone to the camp three summers in a row and feels weirded out when he’s near the woods. The camp counselors don’t like it when kids go to the woods by themselves, apparently

The rest of the ride was quiet with small talk here and there. I could have driven over here myself, but I always get a bad feeling while driving. After about an hour drive we finally made it to our destination, Camp Enfer. Camp Enfer was worn out beyond its years. Fortunately for the camp it was placed in the middle of a beautiful landscape. It was surrounded by gigantic pine trees. It had valleys that seem to go on forever. A lake that glistened in the sunshine. Hills that were greener than a Granny

He was also emotionally attached to his faith, as he was questioned whenever he would cry during his prayers. Later in the book, after being in the camp for a while, a questioning of his religious faith comes into play, “Never shall I forgot those

In 2006, directors Heidi Erving and Cahal Grady released “Jesus Camp”. The directors go to Devil's Lake, North Dakota to document a camp run by and for Evangelicals. Becky Fisher, the camp's leader, admits that society ought to indocrinate its children. The word “evangelical” means fervent or zealous. Becky Fisher furvently trains the children to develop a one-sided perception of the world so they can take back America for Christ. While all Evangelicals do not behave this way, the directors present

from then on my path was set. I had made my decision, I would run. Throughout my childhood I was always the short one. I could not say I was not athletic, but you would not see my making plays and scoring goals. I was always hesitant, worried for all of their safeties, worried for my own safety. Needles to say football was not my sport, but we will come back to that. I played almost every sport I could think of, I played Basketball, I played Baseball, I played Soccer, I played football, and almost

Astronomy Camp Slam! I shut the car door behind me. This would be the first year on my own, away from my home and my family. I set my feet on the rough, yet new looking gravel road and let out a sigh. From behind, I hear cars coming my way, and I look around at my surroundings as I grab my things. Trees of all shapes and forms surround me, their green leaves and giant branches enticing me to get closer. I swallow a lump that forms in my throat, urging the already swarming butterflies in my

The Death of a Soldier Out of the corner of my eye I saw a large camp. Men and women suffering at the hands of these Nazi criminals. We closed in on the camp rifles raised, sweat pouring down our head. We got to the last woodline before the camp when we stopped. “Abraham you circle around the back,” I whispered “ Zelda you go around to the right.” “Who put you in charge,” said Zelda angeraly “I was put in charge when this became personal,” I said grabbing Zelda and hitting him off a near by three

Four years. One diploma. The “best years of your life” are said to be spent in college. There is the freedom aspect, being away from your home and parents and able to do what you want. Even though there might be some students who find that to be an important part of going away for college, the academic aspect is beyond the more influential impact on their life.

First of all, community service elicits compassion and understanding otherwise difficult to view in everyday life. When volunteering to help organizations, causes, or people one 's time is not being used for just a singular outcome but several diverse establishments. Not only do efforts aid in promoting positive impacts in one 's society but also in one 's own character.

dots, scattered infinitely across the dimensions. There was a faint smog amidst the surroundings. It carried the smell of those gone. Death, disease, and grief were all bundled within each molecule of the smog; it thoroughly choked the corners of the camp. Within this smog, however, was a faint smell. A very distinct smell – to me, at least – that could be sensed from thousands of miles away. It was so omnipresent to me that I could see it leave from near me, approach me from behind, and even warn me
