Camp Experience-Day 2

Day two: Breakfast was great. Everyone was fed and ate a very satisfying meal. If only we were able to display our gratitude emotionally. Many us females were upset in the morning because of our wait on the bathroom line. As a result of our previous nights late night curfew, we were not informed about the camp bathroom system. The system goes like this: You had to go either in the morning before everyone else or after everyone at night. You would wait half an hour to an hour every morning at 4:00am or in the night at 12’something just to take a 3 to 5-minute shower. As the day continued, some of our younger pathfinders went off with one of our councilors (Stacy Ann Brown) to complete their camping skills 1, 2, and 3. The older kids stayed at the campsite cleaning up and preparing dinner. As nights fell, our superiors began to watch us more closely. They knew what was going on in our young minds. They could already see that there was something being planned behind their backs. As night fell on that day all the kids were being watched.
