Sabbath Morning: we hurried to find our clothes. Screaming and yelling so that we could be present at flag rising. No one wanted to be the ones who were put in the late spot and have their club announced to everyone. After flag raising we quickly headed back to the campsite and our walk to Sabbath school began. After Sabbath school we were given a fifteen minute break. Councilor Stacy did not want us to leave, and therefore saw no reason why we wanted to move around in the first place. Almost 13 children lay upon each other’s shoulders gone in a mist of wonder. As we all slept through church we knew that we were being watched. When Pastor Jamie rose to begin his sermon every eye opened and each ear was cleaned to create an attention that was unmovable. We all ate lunch and like all pathfinders could not wait to get out of our uniform. The heat made us beg for a swim in the pool and our uniform which protected us from the harsh sun did us a great injustice of keeping in our body’s heat. After lunch we all crawled back into the tents and caught some sleep. After an hour or two we went to A.Y and then ran back to eat and change in time for the social. That evening we all walked out together and went to support our fellow pathfinder in her saxophone playing and that night we walked to bid goodbye to all our newly acquired friends. We watched a beautiful, pantomime performance, done by one of the many Spanish churches that were at Berkshire. We played the night activities such as the one legged race, which ended in us falling as well as the sack race, and to top it off we were drag through the dirt by these very big men and woman in tug of war. Boy did we need Naquan that night. We said our goodbyes and exchanged numbers and other forms of communication information. As we walked back to our site, we walked with a sense of sadness. After being at camp and having so much fun we regretted having to leave. We all closed our eyes and prepare our minds for the coming day called tomorrow.
