An Honestly Fun Camp
Will couldn’t wait for September when school would start. It was early
August, and he was at the same summer camp he had been going to for the last
five years. His dad went to the camp when he was a boy and loved it, so Will didn’t
want to disappoint his dad by telling him that he didn’t even like it.
By the middle of August, Will had had more than enough. He had had
enough of the horses, enough of the baseball games, enough of the canoeing and
enough of the lousy camp food.
He wrote to his mom and asked her if she would pick him up early, but he
didn’t want his mom to tell his dad. She responded in a letter which said, “I can’t do
that. I am always honest with your dad. If you really want to leave, I will talk to him
about it.”
Will was still too worried about disappointing his dad, so he wrote back to
his mom that he would stay for the last two weeks and try to make the best of it.
He asked his mom if she would make his favorite meal when he got home.
During that last week, Will was looking so forward to the meal his mom
would be making that every time he ate a camp meal he imagined he was eating
his mom’s cooking. All of a sudden, the food didn’t taste as bad.
Will decided to be honest with his camp counselors. He told the head
horseback counselor that he wasn’t comfortable with the horse he had been
assigned. The counselor asked Will which horse he might feel better riding. Will
was then assigned to Misty for the last week, and he started to like horseback
riding.
Will never liked playing baseball because he didn’t like playing 1st base. He
told the baseball counselor, and the counselor switched him to play catcher. Will
started to actually like baseball.
As for canoeing, Will always ended up sitting in the bow of the canoe. He told
his counselor that he would like to try sitting in the stern. Once he was able to take on
the role of the stern paddler, he started to enjoy canoeing because he liked steering
the canoe.
When Will’s parents came to pick him up from camp, he said to them in all
honesty, “This was the best summer at camp ever.” He then added that he couldn’t
wait for next year’s camp, and he might even want to stay for an extra week or two.
