This was the only camp that we could find that operated in a military fashion for my age group so, I figured I would try it out and see what it is like. I had no preference to any particular branch in the military nor did I have any family currently serving so going to summer camp here was a total shot in the dark except for the information the administration gave my parents.<\/p>\n The activities I enjoyed the most were pretty much everything in the back 40; the confidence course, obstacle course, rappel tower, and high ropes course. I enjoyed them because they were physically and mentally draining but it was a great way to challenge myself. I learned how to use teamwork to get over some of the obstacles and that was probably the biggest benefit of the courses.<\/p>\n The hardest thing about summer camp<\/em> was being away from friends and family for such a long time without being able to use a phone; we could just write letters. It was hard but I was so busy that I did not really have time to think about missing anyone. We were also allowed to write letters in our free time in the barracks and I received a letter or two almost every other day from people I knew.<\/p>\n Overall the camp taught me a lot. I learned all about teamwork and what it feels like to be away from home for a long time. The biggest thing was the discipline. We practiced discipline in marching, the way we talked to our superiors; even in our physical training there was strict discipline.<\/p>\n I would definitely recommend attending summer camp<\/strong>. It is not a commitment to the school year, just 4 weeks of your summer. It is a chance to do new things and meet new people from all over the world. Everyone I know that went to summer camp enjoyed it.
