                                                            Our journal of our first day at camp (July 10,2005)

Yesterday, we got here at 1-3 pm.   We signed in and set up in our dorms.  We also met new people and looked around. At 3:45 we met with our team in frount of our counsler's dorm. We went to an orientation at Micheals Hall. We met some really cool people who run or help out with this program.The orientation lasted 2 hours. After that we got to go eat in the cafeteria we had hot dogs, burgers, chips, watermelon, lemonade, and many other good things. After we were done eating we walked a couple blocks to a place called the ropes course.  It was really fun. Everyone got to go on a giant swing 30 feet in the air, and we also got to go rock climbing. We came back to the dorms at 9:45pm. We had a meeting in the lounge and were given popcorn and soda. We all got ready for bed and did visiting. Everyone was in there dorms by 10:30 pm.  It was a great first day at camp!
