8/25/19... Camp Sherman.
So, the other day on Friday, I went to Camp Sherman..., here's how it started! Basically, when school ended, I went with my friend Lizzy and we headed to her house, which was a walking distance away. When we got to her house we were playing games and fighting with Gwen (Her Twin Sister) And after that, we went to Vista Verde and we chatted with our friends for a while, and then, we left on a car. I went with Priyanka, Lizzy, and Priyanka's dad. We drove about 2 hours (Mainly because of traffic) then we headed to Subway and ordered food, we decided to save the food for later. Then we left and headed a bit about an hour towards Camp Sherman. When we got there, it was pretty late and maybe about... 8:00 at night... we went into the dining area called the "Massey Hall".
We finished our food there and after we finished, we all went on a little night stroll, when we got to the top, we all turned off our flashlights and it was super cool. The bright stars 🌟 ✨ ⭐️ were so bright! Then, after she pointed out all the beautiful constellations (the staff), we headed back to our cabins and settled in to our beds, choosing our bunks, I chose a top bunk over my friend Rhea's, and Amelia was on the bunk near the door with her mom on the bunk, and on the other side of my bunk (my bunk was in the middle) was with Priyanka on the bottom bunk, and Lizzy on the top bunk near the dresser. Then, we headed to sleep, we rustled a little in all but we eventually slept.
~{...* The Next Morning ...*}~
The next morning we actually got to the fun stuff. But, first, I must explain the stuff that happens on a normal day... sadly.. so, we all woke up in the morning, got ready, changed clothes, brushed our teeth, yeah, that stuff.. then, we headed to the Massey Hall all together to eat our breakfast. I ate Bacon & Eggs, plus a bagel, peaches, and muffins. (They said stuff yourself with as much food as you want, so, why not?) Then, after we ate and threw away our leftovers, we walked back to our cabin, we brushed our teeth, and had what I called an 'intermission', talking, building forts, anything! So then, later, we headed to something called flag where basically the staff put up the flag while we all stood in a circle around them and the flag, (along with other girl scouts troops) and we said the Pledge of Allegiance and the girl scout promise. Then, we headed back and had another one of theses 'intermissions', and you probably know what I'm talking about Future Me.
!~[ A F T E R T H E I N T E R M I S S I O N ]~!
Then, we went into small groups, I went into the small group I was driving with too here and so did everybody else. We then took a little dirt path after we left the cabin and we were headed to canoeing! After they explained the rules and we wore our life jackets, the boat could only fit four people each so we went in as the same group once again, other groups of our troop and other troops did the same. We canoed (The staff taught us how) and just went strolling around the lake and hanging out and looking at HOW deep the lake looked and probably was, after we thought it was about time to stop canoeing, we went to shore, got out of the boat, and walked along the dirt path to find the next station we wanted to go to, which wasn't very far...
^-| after walking... |-^
We went to the horseback-riding place except the next ride on the horses was at 11:15 and it was about 10:40, so, we went to a different station instead, to make time go by faster when it was time to go
^-% Rock Climbing %-^
After waiting in line, (lots of people wanted to do it) we got our harnesses on and just in case we had a rope that would slowly go down if we fell down that was attached to the harness. I went up about halfway and my friend, Lizzy reached the top, and Priyanka also went about halfway. When we were done, it was about time to go horseback riding.

We got to the tents or you could say/stables/pens whatever you want, the horses were in it whatever you said. They taught us the western posture on the horse and the correct way to ride the horse, and what to do if your horse stopped, we went in, wore some helmets that they provided us with, and we started going out one by one, the first person in line was Priyanka and I'm pretty sure that she got a horse named Reno, and I got a horse named Tex, after everyone had got on a horse, we went up the trails, and across, and it felt safe to know how to handle the horse, Tex was a very obedient horse, and I liked him. So, after we got back from the trail, we sat down and they also told us we would have petting zoo tomorrow. Then we ate lunch...
&Y^ - A.T L.U.N.C.H - ^Y&
I ate some chili, fruit punch, and some lettuce on the side. Then we went back and started building forts across the room spreading blankets everywhere.
<<>> L A T E R...<<>>
<> Bootiful diamonds... Anyways, lol we went to do archery and I was kind of bad but, my friends were quite good! And oh.. since we had to wait before we could try archery, We were playing Jenga (with our hands) cause we were bored. And other games like coconut and the slappy hands game, plus the down by the banks game.
>> Going to the pool....<<
We then walked to Arts and crafts which was pretty cool but, people who didn't want to walked to the pool which was super close, we all had changed into our bathing suits and for some reason we had to take a short shower before walking into the pool, but after we did, (it was super cold) we played around, splashed around, and played with some floaties, also we played Who Has the Best Cannonball/Jump/Dive or whatever they COULD do, and we played What time is it, Mr. Narwhal? Which is like what time is it Mr. Fox, except in the pool. We played for so long but, then it was time to head back to the cabin. So, we did. And on the way, I talked a bit with our troop leader.
~!~ { A T T H E C A B I N } ~!~
We got to the cabin and I showered and dried off and put on my clothing, Then, I continued to build a cool fort, which some people used as a changing room but, it probably wasn't that good cause people could still kind of see from the top bunk and other side... but whatever! Then... we went to dinner
[ dinner time ]
I ate tacos, juice, fruit, and a cookie. My friends ate very similar things to me.
~!~ After The 'intermission' ~!~
We then walked back after watching our friends all makeup skits, we went to this thing called campfire, it was basically a fake fire inside, but it was still cool! Then everyone sang songs and we all did skits, I didn't participate in it but, the people in my troop made two funny skits. And everyone laughed! 😆. Then, we went back and got settled in our bunks, all ready for a new day! 😊 but, not so fast! We told funny stories before going to bed, everyone came up to my bunk and bought stuff from their bunks to make themselves comfortable and we told FUNNY stories, it kind of helped me sleep 😴and we told like a few riddles as well. After that, everyone fell asleep, and the next day my ears hurt like crazy! It was probably because of swimming. But, anyways, we woke up the next day and got ready.
^^~^^ At Breakfast... ^^~^^
We then went to breakfast, I ate eggs, sausage, tater tots, a bagel, peaches, and some apple juice. Then, we did Flag, which was, if you didn't remember, we did the Pledge of Allegiance and The Girl Scout Promise. Then, we did something called a girl scout own, it was a moment we take to remember all the fun stuff we did at camp, and then, we went too petting zoo, and we got to pet the horses and feed them apples, then, we learned how to groom a horse, and pick their hooves. We also learned about the saddle, and the stuff on them. Then, we started to clean the cabin, it was time to say Goodbye to Camp Sherman. We cleaned and packed, and made sure we had everything like we saw it first and then we left. In the same groups.
GOODBYE CAMP SHERMAN!
Oh, the fun moments we have in our lives.
