I'm back from Camp Auburn!

Camp Auburn was awesome! I had a great time at Camp Auburn. Camp Auburn is a camp that is like a scout camp that everybody from 5th grade attends in the Auburn School District. (If they have permission from their parents). (Here's a newsreport from the Auburn Reporter.)

(Mom and Dad will post pictures when the film gets developed. They wouldn't let me take the digital camera!)

What we do there is we do things like boating. We also do campfire at night. It is really cool because we sing songs so we can have dinner. There are people called hoppers who have to eat really fast because like every minute he/she has to go get food for everyone. The bad part is we have to learn manners. AHHHHHHH!!!. A good part is we can bring a gallon sized bag of candy. We also get to build a fire, roast hotdogs, go on a hike, build a shelter,and make rope. We get three huge meals a day and get letters, pennants (flag-like awards), and lots of dessert.

There are also points so we can get a really special pennant called honor cabin for a boy cabin and a girl cabin. Some things aren't so cool like we have to clean our cabins and our showers and bathrooms

There are also special people from high school called rovers and counselors. The counselors are high school students who act like adults for your cabin. The rovers are people from high school who encourage you to scream out as loud as you can so you lose your voice on the first day. They can be really annoying and really fun. The camp fire is hosted by the rover (yes the really annoying ones) where you do skits and sing. I had a really really fun time at camp and I will never forget it.
