Camp Royal

A tingling feeling I cannot hide, a memorable camp where all worlds collide. Anxiety ran through my thick vains as I arrived with pit-stick stains. Being the shy person I truly was, I counted the days for Saturday's bus. I missed all my friends and people I knew, I see too many shirts and sweaters of blue. Cold showers. Hard beds. No lights at night. I hated clogged toilets and all bug bites. But it took me awhile to realize, just how great it was and actually nice. I met many people so genuinely real, I cannot describe the things I feel. Counselors that bring out the best in you, over 100 kids you see so true. Out of everyone that I have met, platform Snakepit I hold most respect. Mixed emotions stirring in my heart, knowing that this is where it all start.
