The Lions Den

  On a  weekly basis, we go to The Lions Den. It is an arcade, with 17 games, that each camp visits once a week. Most of the games are classics like Pin Ball and PacMan. Mr. J said one of the games was so old that it had Michael Vick as QB for the Atlanta Falcons..whatever that means

The pinball machine depicted Family guy.

Coming to America

One of our Bloggers comes to us from the Republic of Korea!!

Meet Huynjee Kim

When I first arrived to America. I was very nervous and scared. But now I think that America is better than Korea. In Korea my friends were not very kind but in America I have many friends and they are all so nice. One of things I love the most about America is the food!!! In Korea the food is not very yummy. The food in America is salty which makes it so delicious.

I think America is the best country I have ever visited!!!!

Last week there was Color War between Blue and Orange and BLUE TEAM WON.It was EPIC because they divided up all of the camper's into two teams (Blue and Orange). Then each team competed in 20+ head to head battles. At the end they tallied all of the points with the Blue team scoring 30,750 and the Orange team scoring 29,250.

We conducted a survey of everyones favorite ride. *Note these results do no include our sports camper as they were on a trip today. Updated results will be posted tomorrow*

Sabrina

Black Thunder


I loved Black thunder because it is very exciting. You get in a tube with three other people  and start your journey into a pitch black tunnel. Then you have a sudden drop into a circular tube that spins you around splashing in the water.

The ride is just like Big Thunder but completly dark which makes it so much more exciting.

When we got on the ride I wanted them to make Mr. J go backwards. But Mr. J convinced the life guard to send me backwards instead!!!

Sofia

Big Thunder

Big Thunder was by far my favorite ride. It is sooo big and curvy which makes it really fun!!

You get in a tube with four people and then take off down a long slide that feeds into a big "toilet".

I got to go down the ride facing backwards and sreamed the whole way down. It was scary but so much fun.

We are back!!! Yesterday we spent the day at Rapids Water Park. The park was amazing!!! Below are some reviews of our favorite rides.




Juliana

Rapid Racer

My favorite ride at rapids water park was the Rapid Racer ride. I liked this ride the most because there was no line and I got to race against Mr. J and my friends.

 

Rapid Racer is a race and when you get there you grab a mat and pick one of the six slides. Everyone climbs onto their mat and waits for the buzzer to go off and then we get to race.

 

I won!!!!



TOMORROW WE WILL BE VISITING RAPIDS WATER PARK!!!!!!
