928 Words4 Pages

This past summer I went to Holiday Lake 4-H Center for Forestry camp. I went with my best friend Rex. We both waited anxiously as the school year wound down and Camp got closer. It was a week long camp in the mountains. We had the opportunity to learn about forestry, wildlife management, tree identification and management. We also took other fun classes. Camp offered classes such as high ropes course, canoeing, skeet shooting, archery, wilderness survival, wood identification, fishing for beginners. It was a very hot week with next to no air conditioning, crazy boys, and dramatic girls. Lots of fun. When Rex and I first got there I was nervous.

Then another girl spoke, "Well the boys have noticed it too. They are planning a little something tonight for him to teach him a little something." We all laughed wondering what they were planning. The next morning we were all in our lines waiting to go in for breakfast. I stood behind Rex and noticed that it was quieter than usual. I leaned forward "Where is …show more content…

He was trying not to grin and he was shaking his head. Nothing ever happened to the boys for what they did to Peter. A small part of me felt bad for him. At breakfast there was a big announcement made to everyone. They said that there was to be no Purpling. Then they had to explain what the word "purpling" meant. It was unwanted touching or getting in someone's space, or even forcing yourself on someone. Peter left the girls alone for the most part. The girls still avoided him though. In fact a lot of people avoided him. It seemed that he was wearing on everyone's nerves. It kept more to himself, didn't touch girls, and toned down his ego a

    Schaidle had a horticulture class that I took my seventh and eighth grade year. It was an Explore class in which we would go outside, work on projects for the school, and keep up the Nature Center. This was something I loved doing and we got a break from book work, which was right up my alley. Picking up sticks became a common job when the parking lot remodel knocked down a lot of trees. All of the limbs went into a pile and when it grew tall we had a bonfire.

They are very generous with their knowledge and are very kind to help out educational programs and projects. Another wonderful thing about the Farm is that they try to be as environmentally as possible, more specifically, with their water.
