Hi! This is Emma. I went to girl scout camp this year at camp El-Wa-Ho. This was my first overnight camp ever! This is a picture of me and Miss Joy, my unit leader.
I had so much fun at camp! We did LOTS of crafts we made little Pinocchio's (I named mine Martha Lee) and we made super cool bracelets. Here is how you make them: take 6 pieces of string, make it twice as long as it would go around your wrist and a little longer for the knots. Then tie a small knot on each end. Then take a nail in the wall (or someone's finger) and put 3 strings on each side. With lots of pressure, twist it and then pinch the middle with 1 hand and bring the bottom knot to the top. Let go of the middle and quickly tie a knot. Open up the bottom, slide the knot through, and viola! you have a bracelet.
It was a fun experience sleeping away from home. We all had jobs for meals. The bunnies (me and Grace) were the cooks. We helped Miss Joy prepare the spaghetti for dinner. The next day for breakfast we were the hosts. We got to help make the centerpiece. To make the centerpiece, we looked for nature to make into a pattern on a plate. We found rocks, moss, leaves, pine needles, and twigs. For dinner that day, we were the cleaners. We had to clean all of the pots and pans. I loved ALL of the jobs.
We did skits, too. Our skit was a song about a beach party. Another skit was about what to do with the camp when it got sold. There was another one about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. And there was one about wishing on a star. For the last one, it was like the 12 days of Christmas, but it was the 12 days of camp. The first verse was: One the first day of camp, my leader gave to me, a scrub brush for the latrine!
Next year, I hope that I see all of my new friends again!
