Camp Cimi Experience
When we arrived at Camp CIMI, my roommates and I headed off to our assigned dorms. We were in Owl and our room was 120 B; thankfully it was near the bathrooms. After choosing our bunks, and setting all of our stuff down, everyone started to pull out their defenses in case someone attempted to prank us. When everybody became tired of playing cards, we unpacked, once we were finished, our room looked like a town that had been hit by a tsunami. However, it was during the night when the fun started. That night some people, that I will not mention, decided to ding-dong-ditch our room. A few people in my dorm became extremely annoyed, went outside, and did the same thing back to the pranksters. However, they had to sprint back to our dorm to avoid the teachers. The teachers were outside giving out citations because they caught some people who were out of their dorms after quiet hour. Once, the talking came to an end, we fell asleep and slept soundly throughout the night. All in all, staying in the dorms was an extremely interesting experience.

When the activities during the day came to an end, we would eat dinner and then begin the night activities. Our first, and my favorite, night activity was the ___________. I cannot speak of this exciting activity because we pledged that we would not speak of it outside of Camp CIMI. Unfortunately, we were only allowed to participate in it once. On the second night at camp, we were given the opportunity to night snorkel, however, if we chose not to, the counselors would either take our group to dissect a squid, or to do creatures of the night. In past years, we would have rock climbed instead, however, it was closed down for some unknown reason. Since snorkeling was too cold for me, I decided to dissect a squid. Due to the fact that my partner, Spencer, did not like to touch the squid, I ended up doing most of the work. After acclimating to the horrible smell, we then began to dissect it. When I attempted

    Working with people is what I am passionate about. Two summers ago I had the incredible opportunity to be a camp counselor. My favorite part of that entire experience was watching as each of the girls in my cabin began to see what they were fully capable of. Whether it was participating in the group activities, or opening up about their lives without fear of judgment. There is something so satisfying when I watch as someone improves his or her life and I was a part of that process. This is one of the primary reasons that I am interested in a career in recreation and leisure services. I want my career to be one that creates communities where people feel welcome and safe.…

    Based off this essay I feel Rebekah was able to capture a very good view on the general dorm life on college. All though there were some differences between building structures and door decorating rules not much seems to have change from when she lived in a dorm to how dorm life is now. One of my favorite things to read was how amazed she was by how two people could adjust and fit so much stuff in a small room by building up. Being in a forced triple I instantly connected with this amazement. When I first visited my dorm I thought it was going to be a nightmare but now that I’m settled in things really aren’t that bad. I was surprised though when I heard that there weren’t any triples in her dorm hall, I was also kind of jealous.…

    As the bus drove up the monstrous looking hill we could see multiple busses and people buzzing everywhere. It almost seemed like there was no space that was wasted there was either a person or a bus there. It was after all, one of the biggest youth conferences and surely the biggest one I had ever been to. Thankfully, the University was very organized and the weekend began right away. After receiving our name tags and campus maps we were assigned to our dorms and asked to move all of our belongings into our rooms. As we grouped with our roommates, I found out that I was thankfully going to be rooming with two of my friends. As the weekend kicked off and we all meet in the Field House, also known as the big auditorium, we were told how the weekend was structured and what was expected of us. Thankfully, I was relieved after hearing what the weekend was going to be like, that I was going to really enjoy the conference weekend. Although at that point I missed my family and Paul a lot, I was reassured that I was going to have one of the best weekends of my…

    Camp Manzanar

    December 7th, 1941, which is what Franklin D. Roosevelt called “a day which will live in infamy” is the day in which Pearl Harbor was bombed and the United States got involved in World War II. This also caused tremendous fear and distrust towards Japanese ancestors, even if they were American citizens, and led to Executive Order 9066 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, authorizing the Secretary of War to prescribe certain areas as military zones, resulting in the deportation of Japanese Americans to internment camps, such as Manzanar. Consequently, some Japanese-Americans saw their family structures disintegrate because of their experiences at Camp Manzanar.…

    My older brother, a junior here at Binghamton University, has had his fair share of bizarre roommates. When he was a freshman, he got stuck rooming with a junior that was clinically depressed. He would stay up late cursing, throwing things, and rambling on about how his life sucked. He even told stories about how he tried to take his own life. My brother's second roommate was even worse. He had really bad hygiene and apparently smelled like a mix of ketchup and onions.…

    Summary Of Camp Harmony

    • 191 Words
    • 1 Page

    The story, "Camp Harmony", by Monica Sone, is a true story about a young girl and her family who have been transported to internment camps and the young girl's daily struggle to deal with hardships within the camp as well as her internal struggle of identity crisis. The irony of the camp's name in the story, Camp Harmony, is ironic because of the fact that the camp is an internment camp and is almost the opposite of harmony. The camp was created not because of harmony but because of war. The author conveys the irony of the camp's name through the story by showing the discord and confusion in the camp. The author shows how intense the camp is and how it is more like a prison then a camp. "... I noticed a powerful beam of light sweeping across…
