Day camp

commute. I am a camp counselor at an equestrian camp and all my campers are the lights of my life. The weather here in Florida isn’t great but it’s mostly manageable. I am the counselor for group “1A” which is the youngest group of kids. I adore my campers, each one is different in their own special way and they each have a unique way of making me smile. I love walking through the glass doors, into the “clubhouse” of the camp. The floors were hardwood and, despite being cleaned every day, usually quite

By High school, my friend group had competently changed. I sat at a different lunch table every day and some days would eat lunch with a teacher. Making lasting friendships was hard for me partly because I was shy. I had hoped my freshman year of making new friends on the soccer team.

My first three years

On November 4, 2016, a few of my classmates and I traveled to Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, GA. We were scheduled to be there at 5:00 pm. Our supervisor was Chelsey. We learned that Camp Twin Lakes changed their name to Camp Stars for the weekend. The camp was a Bereavement Camp. Chelsey gave us a tour and took us to our cabin. My classmates and I all slept in the same cabin. That night we helped serve dinner. The families had either a turkey or vegan wrap, chips, s’mores, and water or lemonade.

During an unconventional month, most soldiers only fought one out of the thirty days. Some people believe that all soldiers do is sleep ,eat, and fight. They’re wrong because when soldiers aren't fighting they are participating in clubs created by other soldiers, doing chores around the camp, and or reading and writing to family, they do this because they are trying to stay aware of things happening outside the war, and at home. Besides fighting, soldiers do other things to entertain themselves

It was a brisk day as I walked downtown, admiring the small and large businesses nestled into the corners of the long, narrow streets. As I walked down these familiar streets that I’ve known all my life, a watch appeared out of nowhere, as if it had just popped into existence that very moment. I looked down at the odd watch, it was black and silver, like any other watch. I picked it up. Looking closer, I noticed that this watch did not look quite as mundane as I had thought previously. Instead of

quickly replay the meeting we had the week before in my head. During the meeting, Deb, the leader of the camp told us about the background history of the camp, what to do, and what the rules are for camp.

Rule one: Always have another volunteer with you when you take a camper to the bathroom. Rule two: When

Food is a prime example of how the slave labor camp, Buna, as told by Primo Levi in his memoir Survival in Auschwitz, attempted to dehumanize Levi. Levi begins with the journey (the literal one) at a camp in Italy where he is being held. It was announced by the Germans that Jews would be leaving the camp - destination unknown. Loaded onto buses, the crowds were taken to a train station where they boarded and were off. Levi

I didn’t go to summer camp, I would spend it with my cousins on Cape Cod. From age 3 to 9 we would spend at least half the summer there, going to the beach and spending time with my family. I went to rec camp for 2 weeks when I was going into Second grade, but it wasn’t memorable apart from the visit to Funtown Splashtown. When I was going into fifth grade my parents decided to send my sister and I to Blueberry Cove Camp in Tenants Harbor. It was a week long sleep away camp, 2 hours from home, I

constantly am in books, studying for a test, in books, memorizing a poem, or in books because I generally have nothing to do. All I want is to go back to the time that I explored something every day. With a friend or just with my family. Summer was great. I also had my first experience at an overnight summer camp. Let me tell you more about that. The car ride to the buses was filled with emotion. It was the first time that I would leave my family for a whole week. I was still in the 7th grade so that
