My First Day

I am currently attending a Summer day camp called Ocean Sports Camp. Today was my first day. When the rest of the campers and I first arrived at the bluff parking lot at Dockweiler beach, we all piled into a jam-packed blue van. We then drove to a beach in Venice, where we played many games and participated in various activities.

At The Beach in Venice

First, we did a "bottom check." A "bottom check" is a procedure we must do at the beginning of every day. During this procedure, everybody in Ocean Sports camp trudges into the water to check for any shells, holes, or rip-currents.

After that, the counselors gave us free time in the water. The counselors gave us a few options: boogie-boarding, swimming, or playing in the sand. Most of the campers chose boogie-boarding. Pearl, June, Emma and I went with two counselors named William and Garrett past where the waves were breaking. The water was freezing, so I was glad thsat the counselors provided wet-suits.

Then, we ate lunch. My lunch consisted of fruit salad, cherry tomatoes, tortilla chips, string cheese, and a zuchini muffin. We then took our wet-suits off, rinsed them, and put them in the supply truck to dry.

Finally, we played some games with another camp called Dolphin Camp. We played two rounds of "Nation Ball" (my team won the second round). Our second game was "Happy Ball." "Happy Ball is also like dodgeball, except you play in a circle. When the ball hits you, you sit down. If the person who hits you sits down, you are back in the game.

I cannot wait to go tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
