11 Alive

At camp this summer a news crew walked all around camp, interviewing friends and talking to staff. Why?
Well, that is because at Camp Juliette Low, we write letters.
Here is the link to the story.

Summer

I just got back from camp and I have had a wonderful time this Summer.
First, I went to Student Life Camp at Covenant College. There we did all sorts of things and I got to know a lot of my friends at Church a lot better.

Next, I packed up my stuff and went to Anaheim California for a week. That was where the FCCLA National Leadership Conference was. I competed in STAR events with my school's Parliamentary Procedure Team. We won bronze but at least we got to nationals, and on our first try too!!! While we were there we also had a great time at Disneyland. We rode almost every ride in the park and my friend, Abbey, was determined to break my fear of roller coasters. And for the most part, she succeeded.

After I got back in Georgia, I had one day to unpack, and pack, before I headed to Camp Juliette Low. I had an amazing time there as usual, and I made a lot of new friends as well as catch up with a few old ones. I took a lot of fun classes like Extreme OlS, Archery, Sailing and Horseback.

Extreme OlS Stands for Extreme Outdoor Living Skills. In that class, we hiked out of camp one day for an overnight in little rock town. It was a lot of fun. In archery we shot at a lot of things like things we hate, prize cards, paint balloons and candy balloons, we also threw water balloons at our counselors. In sailing we sailed and played a lot of games like the duck game and man over board. In horseback I got to canter. I rode the oldest horse at camp and he surprised every one by passing them all on the path. In all camp day, I placed in every knot in knot tying and we won fourteen person fire.

I have done so much this summer and I have had a wonderful time too, but it isn't over yet. Tomorrow I am going white water rafting!!! Have a great summer!!!
