The Happenings of the First Day of 4-H Camp
So, yesterday was the first day of camp. We arrived, checked in, and got to meet our room mates. Then everybody went down to the rec field. We all got to hang out with one another and meet up with friends that we made the year before at camp. Sounds pretty fun right? Well then we went to the opening ceremony where all the adults and teens told us the rules and answered questions that we had. They even performed skits and we had to pick out what they were doing wrong. After that we had lunch, which, as always, is delicious! The next few hours weren't the funnest but they were still helpful. The team I'm on (the ducks) had a team meeting first, discussing the events of the week. Afterwards we went on a tour of the camp, but it was very hot yesterday so we were all kind of sweaty. After that we had a swim check, which is where you have to swim from one side of the pool to the other and if you make it you get a green wristband. But if you can't swim you get a red wristband. After that we had dinner, it was yummy, ha ha. After dinner we had clover grams and then it was off the carnival! The carnival was a blast! There was so much to do and so much fun to be had. After the carnival ended, we had a campfire. It was very nice, but about halfway through the campfire we had to go inside because of lightning. After the campfire we headed to our lodges for a lodge meeting. Then, it was showers and lights out!
