Free Response Essay My Incredible Summer

           

        

          Over the past five years, I have been going to a summer camp located on Echo Lake, in Fayette, Maine. This paradise is known as Camp Winnebago. Every summer my family and I go to New York on an airplane, and a few days later they bring me to the Museum of Natural History where the camp’s bus picks everyone up. Next, the campers and I take a long bus ride, while sharing many wonderful snacks, watching a movie, and making a stop for lunch on the way. Finally, we arrive at Camp Winnebago where we give our cell phones to the camp director, Andy Lilienthal, a counselor escorts us to our bunks, and we unpack our luggage. The summer is ready to begin!

            This summer was known as the Summer of Virtue. I was in Bunk 33 with three other campers, Daniel Perreault, Gabe DeSantis, and Kenny Rosenfeld. I went on two camping trips, which we re highlights of my summer. My first trip was a six-day canoeing trip on the St. Croix River. A few weeks later, I went on a trip to Acadia National Park, which was my favorite. On this trip, we went sea kayaking, hiking, and mountain biking. Although all of these activities were incredible, the best part of these trips was that I made many wonderful new friendships.
