Jamberoo Camp Recount
Jamberoo stage 3 camp recount

This year camp was at jamberoo and it was awesome!!!! I got up at 6:15 in the morning to get my suitcase and go down to school for a 7:15 school bus ride to jamberoo. when we got there we got into our tribes. Mine was the yellow tribe and our instructor was called Laura the explora. she was really fun and nice. We had so much fun!!! We all had cabins with 3 people in it and I had Angus & jack. We all slept so well with our heated blankets and then we had an amazing breakfast buffet where you could have cereal, bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast and a choice of orange or apple juice, it was sooooooooooo nice. We could get up at 7:00 in the morning for a bushwalk then come back for breakfast then do some activities before lunch. The activities included a really fun one called the eagle’s nest where you had to climb a really tall tree with a harness and then jump off from the top and then land on the ground. Another activity was one called the giant swing where the rest of your tribe pull you up in a harness really high off the ground then you have to pull a green string and you fall for about 2 seconds then you start to swing up really high then come back down and keep on going until you stop. You feel so cool and weird at the same the time. There was also an activity called sock wrestling where your instructor straps you up to this long rope high off the ground with these tags in your shoes with another person and then they spin you and you let go and have to battle for each others tags. I did it 2 times and after that I nearly threw up! In our cabin we only had 3 people but had 5 beds with heated blankets!!!!!! It was soooo warm!!! Jamberoo was an awesome camp and I wish we could go there

    The best reward to hiking was always the food. We made time to eat at Dave’s BBQ, which was fantastic. I had pulled pork, french fries and sweet tea. The pork melted in my mouth. The funniest part was none of us had showered in more than 4 days. I’m sure we smelled like Wombats. Others eating that night were staring and scrunched their noses at us. It was obvious we were the only ones coming off a trail.…

    Many things in the world have not been named; and many things, even if they have been named, have never been described. One of these is the sensibility -- unmistakably modern, a variant of sophistication but hardly identical with it -- that goes by the cult name of "Camp."…

    One of the greatest experience at Cranbrook was the wolverine camp. I learned many survival skills like making a fire, climbing a wall, cross country skiing, etc. It pushed me to my limits and I was encouraged to do things I never imagined. I was able to build stronger friendships while we stayed and worked together for a week at this camp.…

    My best Pecan Fest experience was last year. I rode the Zipper with Austen and Hayden for most of the time. My friends and I played all weekend and had fun. We bought lots of confetti eggs. They were very useful when we used them on other people. We also bought silly string and sprayed lots of people. We went on the Zipper at least 10 times. I went on the MI twice. I went on the Pharos Fury a couple times. I ran around the yard with my friends and we rode on lots of rides. I helped my mom with her booth and I got a lot of people to play the game. I also watched my little brother perform on stage. After that I ate some food and then went one the Zipper. I felt so sick after. I got some water and I went home. The next day we went back to the…

    Camp Young Judaea is home, it is a community that has embraced me since I was a young child. Every summer I attend this amazing place and take in the entire camp experience, the good and the bad.

The people that I have gone to camp with are some of my best friends, and the counselors are always there for us. The activities are always fun, and whenever we start cheering, singing, or just plain shouting, we become a close community.…

    I was a camp counselor at Camp Wabikon ‒ a co-ed overnight summer camp located in Temagami, Ontario for children who are 6-15 years of age. Along with teaching Red Cross swimming and lifesaving and Tennis, I was my cabin's 'parent' for six weeks. Therefore, I was present with the children at all times. In essence, I was the leader of my cabin's the physical, social and mental development. The main things I learned were the importance of time management and organization , as I had to plan lessons for swimming and Tennis while taking care of my cabin; conflict resolution between campers; and the ability to plan and foresee events (I had to plan camp-wide events and activities for all campers).…

    Those were my favorite nights, only because most often we would go to Bens house, which was 2 stories and about 6,000 sq.ft. The adults would hang around in the living room, dinning room, or the kitchen as the masses of children, of all ages, ran around the house playing, screaming, and occasionally crying. I was among the older kids leading the group and watching over the younger ones.…

    For many Americans, going to a summer sleep-away camp as a child is an experience to be treasured well into adulthood. Present and former campers often speak of the experiences and the friendships that resulted from their time at sleep-away camp as some of the most important and meaningful ones of their lives. Critics, however, often view summer sleep-away camps in a very different way, insisting that they are elitist and that the children who are sent there miss out on valuable bonding time with their parents and the friends who live in their hometowns.…
