Summercamp 2010

This week at summer camp, it was awesome! We came on Sunday and went straight to the pool. We met lots of cool people and did fun things. Puddles, Tango, and Fanny Pack acting like Barbies' at campfire was hilarious.
The kitchen staff here made great food and they should be chefs. Our favorite part about camp was swimming, and the skits were funny too! Wednesday we went to the Barter Theater, and the carnival too! The dance was fun. We had a great week!! CAMP ROCKS!!
