A Poem by Haley S.

Four big busses in a row

179 campers ready to go

Bags all packed and already sent

Counselors on board, who already went

Off we go, on the road

Four big busses with a precious load

A long, long journey with one lunch stop

Campers eating candy, drinking soda pop

A long windy road takes us to camp

Our hands we clap, our feet we stamp

Excited campers, can’t wait to start

That place by the lake that fills your heart

Mixed emotions as we see

Campers, counselors, Sandy, and Terry

Arrive at camp to meet my new friends

I already don’t want this summer to end

See our new homes for four more weeks

Filling the shelves with my clothes and sneaks

Hanging our til dinner time

Then in the canteen singing our rhyme

Snuggle up in our warm beds

Dreams already filling our heads

Excited campers can’t wait to start

That place by the lake that fills your heart.

 

-Haley S. (with help from counselors Grace and Jo)
