Fun at Camp

I really enjoyed the camp because of its games, the food, and the activites. We played many games, like: Splat, Stuck in the Mud, volleyball with balloons, and other fun games. I liked very much Splat, I think I am the best at it. I played a lot of games with some persons: Emily, Sam, Sam, Jonathon, Isabel, and Kris. They were very good with all of us, I think Emily was the best, she was cool and friendly.

The activities were awesome. We made a gold detector and a wagon. We sand around the fire and we take a lot of crazy photos. The most strange photo was one that girls were dressed like boys and boys like girls! We also had to sell the wagon and the gold seeker. Then we acted a little act. Everyone think that we did well. They gave us a golden nugget. I believe my team (with Emily as the leader) will win.

Camp

I enjoy coming to this country, it was really funny. I liked to talking with people at the mil. I liked food, it was very good. I liked sports and many games like balloon, baseball, making the wagon and the Gold Seeker 5,000. I also liked make the speech. I didn’t like waking up in the mornings at 8:00 am. I think Emily is the best counselor too. I really have fun with her. She’s always saying: “ok guys, cool!!” I loved Splat, I think it was nice.

Activities

I enjoyed lots of things at camp. One was the photographs. We had to take some photographs doing the things a paper told us to do. One photo was of girls dress as boys, and boys dressed as girls, it was so funny. Another photo we had to pick Sam up, we made one doing a pyramid. I was in the bottom. I was falling and had everyone’s weight. Camp was amazing, I wish it could be longer. We saw the photos of every group at night in the cineroom. Most people liked the photos of girls dressed as boys and boys dressed as girls, it was awesome.

I enjoyed playing baseball and waterball, they were great. I also enjoyed dancing, they teach us to dance some dances, they were great, but very funny. Waterball was cool because it was like volleyball but with water balloons and some blankets. My group was divided but the team I was won 5-7. Once the balloon went to the air and splashed in Catalina’s head, she got all wet. In baseball I don’t remember who won, but my group did 4 outs to the other.
