Camp Cimi Experience
When we arrived at Camp CIMI, my roommates and I headed off to our assigned dorms. We were in Owl and our room was 120 B; thankfully it was near the bathrooms. After choosing our bunks, and setting all of our stuff down, everyone started to pull out their defenses in case someone attempted to prank us. When everybody became tired of playing cards, we unpacked, once we were finished, our room looked like a town that had been hit by a tsunami. However, it was during the night when the fun started. That night some people, that I will not mention, decided to ding-dong-ditch our room. A few people in my dorm became extremely annoyed, went outside, and did the same thing back to the pranksters. However, they had to sprint back to our dorm to avoid the teachers. The teachers were outside giving out citations because they caught some people who were out of their dorms after quiet hour. Once, the talking came to an end, we fell asleep and slept soundly throughout the night. All in all, staying in the dorms was an extremely interesting experience.

When the activities during the day came to an end, we would eat dinner and then begin the night activities. Our first, and my favorite, night activity was the ___________. I cannot speak of this exciting activity because we pledged that we would not speak of it outside of Camp CIMI. Unfortunately, we were only allowed to participate in it once. On the second night at camp, we were given the opportunity to night snorkel, however, if we chose not to, the counselors would either take our group to dissect a squid, or to do creatures of the night. In past years, we would have rock climbed instead, however, it was closed down for some unknown reason. Since snorkeling was too cold for me, I decided to dissect a squid. Due to the fact that my partner, Spencer, did not like to touch the squid, I ended up doing most of the work. After acclimating to the horrible smell, we then began to dissect it. When I attempted

    Fan Lake Trip Report

    • 649 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The bikes pass under the canopy of pine trees and through the line of junior counselors waving bright yellow oars in the air, while the rest of camp cheers us on. Arriving at the dock, one by one we toss our mountain bikes on the ground and join the line of people waiting to perform the ritual belly flop into Fan Lake. The crowd cringes in sympathy as each body hits the water. My heart races when it is finally my turn to jump with my arms and legs spread from the diving board. My stomach aches when I hit the water, but not as much as my legs do from riding 300 miles in a week. Splashing in the lake, I am amazed to have just completed the bike trip that begins the transition from camper to counselor at Camp Reed.…

    Camp Manzanar

    • 816 Words
    • 4 Pages

    December 7th, 1941, which is what Franklin D. Roosevelt called “a day which will live in infamy” is the day in which Pearl Harbor was bombed and the United States got involved in World War II. This also caused tremendous fear and distrust towards Japanese ancestors, even if they were American citizens, and led to Executive Order 9066 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, authorizing the Secretary of War to prescribe certain areas as military zones, resulting in the deportation of Japanese Americans to internment camps, such as Manzanar. Consequently, some Japanese-Americans saw their family structures disintegrate because of their experiences at Camp Manzanar.…

    Based off this essay I feel Rebekah was able to capture a very good view on the general dorm life on college. All though there were some differences between building structures and door decorating rules not much seems to have change from when she lived in a dorm to how dorm life is now. One of my favorite things to read was how amazed she was by how two people could adjust and fit so much stuff in a small room by building up. Being in a forced triple I instantly connected with this amazement. When I first visited my dorm I thought it was going to be a nightmare but now that I’m settled in things really aren’t that bad. I was surprised though when I heard that there weren’t any triples in her dorm hall, I was also kind of jealous.…

    Summary Of Camp Harmony

    • 191 Words
    • 1 Page

    The story, "Camp Harmony", by Monica Sone, is a true story about a young girl and her family who have been transported to internment camps and the young girl's daily struggle to deal with hardships within the camp as well as her internal struggle of identity crisis. The irony of the camp's name in the story, Camp Harmony, is ironic because of the fact that the camp is an internment camp and is almost the opposite of harmony. The camp was created not because of harmony but because of war. The author conveys the irony of the camp's name through the story by showing the discord and confusion in the camp. The author shows how intense the camp is and how it is more like a prison then a camp. "... I noticed a powerful beam of light sweeping across…

    My older brother, a junior here at Binghamton University, has had his fair share of bizarre roommates. When he was a freshman, he got stuck rooming with a junior that was clinically depressed. He would stay up late cursing, throwing things, and rambling on about how his life sucked. He even told stories about how he tried to take his own life. My brother's second roommate was even worse. He had really bad hygiene and apparently smelled like a mix of ketchup and onions.…
