HONORS CAMP!!!!





Honors camp was da bomb. I had so much fun hanging out with my classmates and teaching the students. Before camp began we all met at the Golden Dragon for nasty chinese buffet. The drive was short and when we arrived it brought back memories of when I attended camp in 6th grade. The first day we were able to just mingle and see what the camp looked like. That night Aaron, Jason, and I (with the help of Sean C.) did a "helping hands" skit. The kids enjoyed it and I think our cohort did to. I can't believe Aaron ate that banana and cookie! The next day (Saturday) we had the opportunity to teach the campers trust and teamwork exercisies. We did an ice-breaker, trust-fall, and finished up withwood-plank-walk. I know the students enjoyed it, and we all had a great time teaching it. That night we watched more skits, and Carly and megan did a funny SNL cheerleader skit! We all dressed up in our 80's gear and went to their dance. I thought it was pretty cool to see a bunch of kids dressed up into 80's clothes and they were all born in the 90's! The dance was fun but I was definitely ready for bed very early. The last day we woke up and taught more for the kids, and that ended our day. Overall the kids were great, the food was ok, I got terrible sleep, but I had a great time with my cohort!
