Camping with Scounting Clique!


“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.
