First year fun

This year was my first year at Manidokan. I had a lot of fun! First our parents dropped us off and we moved into our rooms.

Off to camp

Leah's friends

We figured out that the swim test was canceled, so we had to do the swim test the next day. Monday we went to Sawmill Creek and we saw a lot of interesting things.

Finally we had our swim test. Also at store time I got an owl that I named Kirstin.

Then we went to chapel and met characters from different times. Tuesday we went rafting where we bumped into each other a lot.

Then we had chapel again and tried to help the characters fix the time machine, but it didn’t work :( .

Wednesday was our first time eating lunch in the dining hall! Also my parents gave me a care package! We also did field games and then pool games.

Also we did mission night where we did rotations to make us feel like we were in the flood in Puerto Rico. Then we played a game called Fortress (a game that we play at night on a field). Thursday we had the dining hall (at lunch) all to ourselves! Then we did the flying squirrel. It was really fun!

Also we did arts and crafts where I made a leather turtle. Finally there was a talent show! There were a lot of funny and good acts. Friday there was a slip and slide and also a sponge race. I did the slip and slide but not the sponge race. I watched it though. Then we had a little free time in our lodge. Finally our parents came and we sang a few songs and then we left. I had a lot of fun at Manidokan!
