Creative Summer Camp
Hi, readers! Sorry I haven’t written an article in awhile…and by awhile, I mean months! Anyways, I just thought I could talk to you about what camp I’m recently going to. This camp is called Creative Summer camp and it is held at a private girls school called Holton-Arms. Before you start camp, you have to pick five activities for five periods. After the first day, you decide whether or not you like all of your classes. If you don’t, you’d say to the counselor that you’re switching out of that class. Then, you’d join a big line of campers during that period and switch into a class that you think you’d like more. There are two sessions and I went to both of them. In session one, this was my schedule:
1st period: Cake decorating What you do in cake decorating: You decorate cakes and cupcakes.
2nd period: Newspaper What you do in newspaper: You do word searches, interview campers and counselors, and you also do what I like best – write.
3rd period: Jewelry Workshop What you do in jewelry workshop: Make different kinds of jewelry
4th period: Young gourmet What you do in young gourmet: Cook delicious recipes
5th period: Hip Hop What you doin hip hop: Dance
Session one was fun, but session two is also fun. My schedule for session two is:
1st period: Total Body Conditioning What you do in total body conditioning: Work out and stretch
2nd period: Pop N’ Lock What you do in Pop N’ Lock: Dance and lock! 
3rd period: Baking What you do in baking: Bake
4th period: Jewelry Workshop (I like this class so much, I even took it for session two!)
5th period: The Write Idea What you do in The Write Idea: You write stories, learn about descriptions, write poems, and more
After your third period you go to the dining room to eat lunch. Once you finish your lunch, you go to the lunchtime entertainment. If you don’t want to go, you can go to the gym. You have to be going into fifth grade and up because I guess the counselors think it can be dangerous for the little kids to play with older kids in the gym. The shows can be camper talent shows, the creative summer slide show, and more. After lunchtime entertainment, you go to your fourth period. If you don’t know how to get to your class, there are always counselors and CITs among the hallways to show you where your class is. Creative summer also provides LOTS of water, so you won’t get dehydrated. Creative summer surely is a fun camp!
YOU SHOULD GO TO CREATIVE SUMMER IF YOU WANT A FUN CAMP TO GO TO! READ MY NEXT ARTICLE HERE AT WWW.GABYVINICK.COM! SEE YOU LATER!
Summer camp is a wonderful way to do things out of the ordinary and learn “new tricks.” Cake decorating, jewelry and hip hopping – you will be quite the Martha Stewart with a swing in her step! Glad to hear you are enjoying the summer and glad to see that perhaps your writing workshops have turned on your creative juices for your blog. Keep us up to date. Let us know about your trip to Disney World!
Thanks for the report, Gabs. I already have a Total Body, as you’ve seen; but I am going to rehab therapy to condition it nevertheless. Do all the writing you can. Learn from the comments, especially the ones about style and grammar. They will serve you for the rest of your life, id you develop good habits now. How did you learn to spell “dehydrated?” I am always “all wet,” so no problems with dehydration here. If you keep taking all these cooking classes, pretty soon you’ll be teaching me. I will gladly volunteer as your Cake Taster– just don’t tell Aunt Nancy! I will be in Virginia for the rest of this week and, so far, plan to be in Nebraska next week, so it will be difficult for me to write further. Enjoy. Camp sounds like fun. Holten Arms used to be for Debutantes. Do you have to wear long white dress gloves all the time, and a tiara in your hair? Love from all of us. Todd sang at a Music Festival in Camden Sunday and was great. Iyla has learned to say “Pop Pop.” –Uncle Russie–
Gabs,
Wow, what a fun camp. I wish I was motivated enough to do the Total Body Conditioning. Sounds like a lot of fun! I’m so glad you’re writing to us again!
Love,
