Day 3, Wednesday Aug 6th 2014
I woke up early to the sound of loud horns. Even though I was bit sleepy, I brushed my teeth, freshened up in the bathroom, and got my Scout Uniform and wore it. We waited for a while for the rest of my pack to get ready. We then headed off to the filed to do flag ceremony. We all neatly lined up and sang the Pledge of Allegiance.
Today at breakfast we had fresh sausages, fruits and some hot delicious soup. Then we all went to the forestry class. We learnt all about trees and plants and how important are they for our daily life. I also learnt that wild forest fires help the forests in long run and it was very interesting to know about it. I learnt that fire can destroy things and at the same time it can create new fascinating things too.
We created little necklaces in wood and strings to show that we can do lots of things from nature. We went on a short hike and the teachers showed us the plants and trees that thrived there. We came down the cafeteria and had burritos for lunch. It was really tasty.
Then we quickly rushed over to the gift shop at the campsite and bought some candies. I got three yummy packets of Skittles, one for me, one for my Sister and another for my friend Sunjay. He was not able to make to this trip because he was sick the day before our trip. I wished that he was with me at this camp, we could have had lots of fun.
After shopping we went to our campsite and we had some free time. We went into our tents and talked about video games. When it was time to dinner, we dressed up and went into the dining hall. They served mashed potatoes and beans, with meat sauce. It was really yummy and we were all full at the end.
Then, we all went to our tents, packed up our sleeping pads and sleeping bags and we went down to the field, and put our bags under a sign that said Mountain Man. We then hiked up on a long dusty trail until we reached an open area. I was now confused, thinking "What are we doing here at night?", then I came to know we were sleeping in open field tonight under the star lit sky!
The camp organizers started the camp fire, and we all sang songs and danced around, finally were were all tired and we unrolled our sleeping bags talked about stars, big dipper and in no time we all were sleeping like a log !
Day 4, Thursday Aug 7th 2014
We woke up early in the morning and everyone was packing up their bags. I quickly packed up my bags and I was ready as always. We hiked down the dusty trail. It was a little steep but I could manage it.
We unpacked everything when we arrived at camp. We then headed to the fields to do flags. After we sang a slow song and watched the flag being raised we ran to breakfast. We had some juicy omelets. Boy, they were great!
After we merrily ate, we went to the store. I bought some very interesting rocks. One was iron pyrite and also I got obsidian. The obsidian was dark jet black and the pyrite was golden!
We then went to arts and crafts and made cool catapults. They could shoot really far and we could load them with rocks. It was really fun and I was enjoying it. We also created a scrap book. I designed mine with colorful interesting markers. It looked very good and beautiful. I learnt how to cut wood with saws and how to hammer nails! Right after arts and crafts we went to lunch. I had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They tasted great!
Then we changed into our swimming clothes to go swimming. My friends and I went to the swimming pool, when everyone was changed, I decided to retake the test and I succeeded with all the tests and got the title Swimmer. For the rest of the time I went diving in 9 feet, and I felt really happy about it.
After I was done I changed back into my regular clothes and went to dinner. I happily ate some salad and egg. It was very tasty! After dinner we headed back to our campsite and made a big camp fire. Our pack took some time to start the fire but eventually it grew. Then I saw the whole entire staff walking to our campsite. I was very excited! We all sang merry songs and preformed skits. At the end they left and our tired pack went back to our tents. My friends and i were talking about Pokemons and soon we were sleeping like a heavy log.
