Summer is a time for everyone to have fun. Some people like to go on vacation. Other people like to stay home and play with their friends. I like to go to camp! This year I went to camp for 8 weeks. That’s almost the whole summer! My camp is called Lakeview Day Camp and it has a lot of fun things to do.
Every day at the camp I get to choose a different sport. My favorite sports are paddle-boating, kayaking and canoeing. I also tried tennis but it wasn’t my favorite thing. Zip-line, rock-climbing and go-carts aren’t really sports but they are so much fun. I also get to swim in the pool 2 times a day. The instructor teaches us new things. She says I am a very good swimmer and now I am at level 4.1 also get to swim on the deep end.
My camp is a day camp, so that means it’s not a sleep away camp. But there are 2 nights that we get to have a sleepover. That is so much fun. We made tie-die shirts, watched a movie and told funny stories. We also had ice cream Sunday’s. They were yummy!
The best part of camp is all the friends I make. I met so many friends from towns that are very far from South Brunswick. My instructor in gymnastics is from Scotland. She has a cool accent when she speaks. We all learned to get along and respect each other. Our camp counselor is Kelly and she would take time out to talk to us about being kind to each other and using our manners.
That’s pretty much my summer time. I can’t wait to come back next year!
