Wow. I love camp SOOOOOOOO much there aren't words to explain!!!!!! I don't think I could live without it!! This summer will be my 6th year going to crc! I am so excited to be in trailriders with my WHOLE age group!!! Only 79 more days!! When things start to get boring or school becomes a little too challenging, I ALWAYS just think about chippewa and everything becomes better! The best experience about camp is......well i would have to choose EVERYTHING!!! Everything at camp is as fun, exciting, and as amazing as the next moment! If I HAD to choose one great experience, it would be horseback riding. I have been riding since I first came to camp which was when i was 8 years old. I have always wanted to be in saddle club (which is the advanced riders class). I always have looked up to the girls who were in it and it made me work harder and harder to achieve my goal of being in saddle club. Well, last summer..........I WAS IN SADDLE CLUB!!!!!! I had finally achieved my goal and it was the best camp experience ever!! I can't wait until this summer because I love going to camp and doing all the fun activities, but I especially love being by the wonderful horses! When you're at camp, you should always strive for your goals. Let it be climbing to the top of the rock wall, or getting up on waterskis, or even rigging a sail boat for the first time. Camp is the best place on Earth and I have made some of my BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD at camp. My mom went to Chippewa for 12 summers and she loves camp soooooo much too. On parents weekend every summer, she relives the magical camp moments. I have been going 8 weeks since my first summer when I was 8 years old. Going 8 weeks is great because each session of camp is a little different than the other. Chippewa is my home and I can't imagine a life without it. Summer '08 two more months!!! =]
