“Whoo, Hoo!” I yelled as I ran downstairs to ask my mom if
today is the day where I get to go to scout camp, and she says yes. So with
that answer I took a shower as fast as I could, packed my backpack, grabbed my
swim shorts and forced my mom to get in the car. We drove for 20 minutes and we
arrived at my camp. It is a place where you feel like you can have never ending
fun. The field is about one acre surrounded by a whole bunch of benches and on
the opposite side of the parking lot was a humongous lake. I ran down the hill and
went to my group. There a camp leader explained that we will be divided into
groups and that each group will have a leader. We did millions of fun
activities. For example we did swimming, forester, craftsmen, ready man, and
geology. When we did swimming, we played Marco Polo the whole time. We changed
into our normal camp dress and headed for the next station. We ran to a picnic
bench where an old man taught us about 6 types of plants and trees and our
group leader told us that station was called forester. On our way to our next
station, we played a few hand games and hurried over to a cluster of benches
surrounded by some long fencing. Our leader told us that this station was
called craftsman. The man who was leading the station showed us how to make
different stuff like boxes and frames. Not only that but he taught us how to
use mauls, saws, and screwdrivers. Right after that we ran all the way to the
hill where we ate lunch. After an hour passed by, we went to a tavern. Our
leader told us that the tavern station was called ready man. In ready man we
learned about health and safety. We even learned what to do in dangerous
situations. Nobody was excited for geology which unfortunately was our next
station. Everyone walked wordlessly to the next station. The good thing was
that the man cheered us up by teaching us experiments we can do with rocks.
After camp, I told my mom how epic the camp was. This was the same thing that
happened for a week not necessarily in that order but boy was it fun. I knew
that a bunch of other kids also had fun. I think this is a great camp. I think
I should also tell my friends to join boy scouts.
P.S. I might be coming to this camp again next year.
