My Boy Scout Summer Camp Day 1


From June 19, 2011 to June 25, 2011 I went to a summer camp for boy scouts. The camp was called Camp Chawanakee. It was a 6 night trip, Sunday,Monday..... I just became a scout on June 13. It was my first summer camp. It was a really fun but tiring trip for everyone.
-Day 1
So we came to the church where all our boy scout meetings are. We got there at about 8:00 a.m. I went into my brothers friend's car. My brother didn't go because he had a different summer camp. It was a fun car ride we played a lot of games in the car ride. It was along one, it was 4 hours. I thought it would never end. When we took a stop I came out of the car and I almost fell down. My legs felt so good when I stood up. Then we came back in the car for 1 more hour it felt very long. When we arrived there I knew it was going to be a fun trip. So when we first got there we settled into our tents, unpacked everything, etc. After we did all that we took our swimmers test. In that there were two levels. A beginner level and a swimmer level. To get your beginner you had to swim 50 yard. To get your swimmer you has to swim 100 yards, 75 yards going forward and 25 yards we had to float. I had only got my beginner because I wasn't a good swimmer and the water was really cold. It was like only 50 degrees. After that we got to relax and do whatever we wanted to. It was a really fun first day. When we came to dinner I thought the food would be pretty good, but it was horrible. I didn't even finish half my plate. It was that bad! Then, after dinner we had flags where they had lowered the flags for the day. Later, we had went to the opening camp fire. It was a really warm campfire. All the staff did some skits. They were pretty good. Then, after the camp fire we went to sleep it was a tiring, but day.
