My One Week of Camp

      I wanted to go to camp with my friends. So I went to sign 

up. I got to be in the cabin with some of my friends. But two 

of them were in another cabin. Well my friends and I were in 

different groups for the daily schedule. But we got to be 

together in Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also in swimming and 

all groups get together. I signed up for swimming, tennis, arts & 

crafts, and everyone had to take music class. Because know one 

wanted to take it. Camp was fun but the food no good. 

Everyone ate cereal for Breakfast. But the dinner was pretty 

good. We got to have cookouts and dance party's and 

campfires. And I got a ttobly sunburn in camp while wearing 

this teroably looking bathing suit. I met a lot of new people. And 

a lot old ones too. But everyone got a sign on their door that 

said if the room was neat or not neat. My room was not neat. 

Because hardly anyone usually got up that early in the morning. 

And then you had to take a shower and get dressed and then 

wash your face and brush your tooth. And whatsoever else. By 

that time all we could do was quickly make up your bed. We 

were allready late as it was.  So that's the whole reason way. 

Well anyway I wrote my mom a letter but I never sent it off. 

Well I had a really great, fun, and wonderful time.
