Wave Camp by Aly




I had so much fun at camp I don't even know where to begin. On the first day, I was so excited I could not wait for my mom to leave. I had an awesome roommate named Hope and we became bestfriends. On the first day we went swimming and played softball. That night I got pranked! They wrote gators all over my left arm while I was sleeping! I have no idea who did it, but it had have been someone from my group. The next morning when Scott, the camp director, saw he was mad because the mascot for Sac State is the Hornet!!!

Tuesday was lots of fun! I went waterskiing and that was the best!! Out of all the sports that was my favorite. I loved getting to go over the waves. It felt like I was going to tip over but I knew I wouldn't and Ryan was there, just in case. They have a ski team I am going to find out about.

My group went scuba diving on Tuesday but I had to wait until Wednesday becuase they did not have a mask small enough. Scuba diving was fun. I liked being underwater and I was able to move around all by myself!! When you are in the water, you are weightless that makes it possible for me to mover around. I would like to get certified as a diver.

We also went Kayaking on Wednesday. This was fun but not my favorite. I would rather be playing in the water.

Thursday was my favorite day of all! I got to choose what I wanted to do. Obviously I choose to go skiing again. This time I was not affraid since I had already tried it once. I was so happy to know I could do this type of stuff without getting hurt, I was about to cry.

In the evenings we sang kareoke, did skits, and had contests. Kareoke was fun because at the end they had a special song that they sing every year, Lean On Me. Scott says everytime we hear Lean On Me we are supposed to think about camp and the people here at camp are like family! On the last night, we got dressed up for a dance. After the dance we had an all-camper staff meeting to say goodbye. Everyone was crying, even me!

On the last night, I got to get revenge for all the pranks that happened to me!! At bedtime I waited for my friends to come to my room then we threw tin foil at their heads and squirted them with water. I had so much fun that I can't wait to go next year!!!!!!!!!!

You are so lucky, sounds like you had a ton of fun. Super brave too because I don't know that I would be brave enough to try water skiing
