JR - Summer Camp

Day 1
Today once I woke up my whole cabin went to the Royal dining hall for breakfast. After that we got ready for my first skill, I had the Kracken Waterslide which was awesome because I had 3 people in my class. The timer's were not working because they were having technical issues. After that I had Badminton which taught me how to properly play Badminton. My next skill was Swim Beach I didn't have a lot of fun because the lines were too big. After that we went to midday madness where they say how many points you got for cabin clean up. They also put on some little skits before heading to lunch. After lunch we had free time to go to tuck and hangout at your cabin. Once free time was up I went to my next activity which was skateboards and scooters. I long boarded during the class and the ramps were big for scootering. My second last event was digital photography. In that class we learned how to use cameras. I learned a lot from that class. Finally, my last activity was tennis. In that class you learned how to play and the rules of the game. After that we had free time for half an hour and then we had to go to dinner. We then had evening programs. For the first night we did animal races. I was a "Firefly". We painted a bunch of paint on us and had to race like a certain animal (like a walrus) and then slide across the tarp.  The tarp was covered in soap and water. Once we finished animal races we then went back to our cabins before going to convo cafe. We learned about being "Heard" and making sure that your family hears you and you speak your mind.


Day 2
Today once our whole cabin got up we went to breakfast. The counsellor "Pretzel" prayed before we could all eat. After breakfast we had an hour of free time before our first skill. We had four new people join our group for the Kracken but two of them did not go in the water. No one new joined in our badminton class, so the class instructor set up a tournament to be played. Swim beach was busy as usual but I went on the big inflatable slide. We went to midday madness where they were lip singing to songs. We had lunch before we had free time where I went to tuck shop and then went back to the cabin. During my fourth skill they opened up the halfpipe and I rode it on my scooter.  In digital photography we learned how to take close-up shots. We went outside to take some close up shots of nature.  In tennis they taught us how to forehand return a ball today. After tennis we went back to the cabin before going to dinner. Our evening program for that night was a scavenger hunt. You had to run all over the camp to find certain clues. If you got found by a counsellor with a camera you would lose points. I almost got caught by one. He chased me through the basketball court. We then went to convo cafe to learn about "I Am Known". I learned that family doesn't leave each other and that family is important.  During convo cafe we had a water bottle flipping challenge. The boys won that against the girls. After convo cafe we went back to the cabin to go to sleep.

Day3
Once our whole cabin got up we heard that all of our skills were cancelled because it was pouring rain, which sucks because I was really looking forward to the Kracken. So all the Junior High's went to the Hangar for the day. We played heads and tails, rock, paper, scissors before going for lunch we watched two movies, we watched Inside Out and Zootopia. I enjoyed them even though I've seen them before. Then we had dinner but we didn't have evening programs but we still had convo cafe where we learned about fear and how to overcome it.  When your scared sometimes you should just do it and try something new.  We had ice cream for an evening snack then we went to sleep.

Day 4
Today once our whole cabin got up we went to breakfast before going to our first skill. The Kracken timers were still not working so we had to time ourselves, I got 8 seconds.  For badminton we did a tournament I came in third place. Swim beach was still super busy so I did not go on anything.  Mid day madness was the same today.  After lunch I went to tuck, to get some chips. After skateboards and scooters it started to rain so I had to go to the hanger again to finish up Zootopia. We went to dinner before playing 4 corners I was a yeti so I had to wear a white shirt, it got covered in mud because I was running through the mud. Today was the last day for convo cafe we just played games before going to bed.

Day 5
Today once our cabin got up and went to breakfast and we had eggs and bacon, but you were only allowed three bacon strips.  During the Kracken the timers were finally working so I got timed and I got 7.18 seconds.  The camp record is 6 seconds!! In badminton we did a doubles tournament and my team came in third. For swim beach there weren't as many people in the water so I went on the big inflatable slide three times.  For mid day madness we sang along to songs again.  For lunch we had pizza and Miss Vickie's salt and vinegar chips.  For skateboards and scooters I long boarded around the loop 3-4 times.  It was fun and I want to get a long board for Christmas.  Hint! Hint! In digital photography we did light photos.  We used our phone flashlight to draw something and then I used the camera to film it.  In tennis, we had a doubles game with two other people.  After tennis we had dinner, it was mashed potatoes, steak and I had a salad. Our night activity was "Stock Tickets" where you had to collect certain animals (not real ones) to get points.  My team got 69 points but we didn't win, the best team had around 500 points. After that we went back to the cabin and went to bed.

Day 6
Today we woke up and had eggs and sausage mcmuffin for breakfast. The Kracken timers were still working the best I got was 8.35 seconds.  For Badminton we just played for fun. It was busier then the last day at Swim Beach so I just talked to Noah my friend from skateboards and scooters. In skateboards and scooters I long boarded it was fun. In digital photography I edited some photos of mine and finally for tennis we just played for fun.
