Day 19

I just got back from Camp West Wind!!!! For those of you who do not know what Camp West Wind is, it is a sleep away summer camp that was from last Saturday to yesterday, Friday. Camp is on an island about two and a half hours away from portland. It is just a few miles away from Lincoln City. Camp is so much fun! Last week was Session two out of the six sessions. We were lucky enough to have great weather all the way up to thursday when it started raining. But even when it was raining, it was fun.

Camp West Wind is split into three sections. Sherwood, Highlands, and Alpine. Sherwood is for the littlest kids, ages 5-9. It is the lowest section. Highlands is for kids ages 9-11. It is farther than Alpine but the hike is not as steep. Alpine is ages 11-13. It is straight up the hill which is very steep.

I was in Alpine in a cabin called Klickitat. Lucky for me and my cabin, Klickitat is the closest. My counselors camp name was Tulip. We were her first cabin she had ever had. She was very nice and fun to be around.

Counselors:
Platypus, Pippin, Tulip, Cloud, Rhapsody, Goggles, Gex, Mars, Sparky, Nala, Pepper, Happy Feet, Kicks, H.M, Cullaby, Narwal, Shango, Starburst, Koala, Calypso, Otter, Ace, Eire, Walkabout, Gaia, Ukealali, Cascade, Pippi, and Kermit.
