Camper's Speak: Natalie Harrah, Cabin 5
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010 | 0 Comments
Waking up at eight a.m. sharp to “Defying Gravity” was just the beginning of the first official day at Camp Highlander. Archery was one of our activities for the day. While I was struggling to shoot a bulls eye, my goofy counselor offered, “Whoever jumps in the mud pit doesn’t have to do tables for a week.” Everybody ignored the fact that she even said anything, so then Abby offered an even better option by adding, “Fine, no tables for the whole session.” With excitement in my voice, I said, “I’ll do it!” I walked over to the mud pit and all I saw was mulch and some water. This definitely wasn’t mud. If I was going to jump in a mud pit, it was going to be very muddy. A girl in my cabin suggested the BIG mud pit. I thought, “Hey, why not? I’m at camp, it’s time for some adventure!” With Abby and others doubting my ability to do it, we headed down to the mud pit. Once we arrived I quickly kicked off my shoes and took a plunge. All my cabin mates watched me in disgust as I rolled around in the mud. All of a sudden, my cabin chanted, “Stick your head in, stick your head in!” I did as I was told and stuck my head in the mud and flipped it back. Overall, I got many things accomplished: I had so much fun, no tables EVER, and I got a Coke from Ice?first day of camp, TOTAL SUCCESS!
