The best part of camp is classes. Every morning at 9:00 A.M. we go to our classes. My classes are fun snack foods, CNN, and backyard adventures. They are the best!! You can only pick three classes but you can have backups incase you don't get in. If you don't get the classes you want, it's okay. I really wanted swimming, but snack foods is fun too. Don't let it get you down if you don't get the class you want!-- Whitney

Every year we have a show about sheep hearding. A man brings six sheep and two of his dogs. THe man tells us about his dogs. Their names are Jessi and Catcher.
