What do you do at Camp Lawrence?

Each day at Camp Lawrence is filled with fun activities. Just look below to see what a day at Camp looks like.

	We wake up to the sound of music being played in the cabins. This is the sign that it is time to get up and get ready for the day. The first thing we do is dress, the counselors tell us what we need to wear for the day, and then we clean our cabin. Cleaning our cabin is an important part of camp because whoever has the cleanest cabin gets to be first in line for meals for the next day! Next everyone gathers together for flag raising and then down to the dining hall for breakfast.
At camp, we know that everything that is good comes from God. So we start out each day with Morning Liturgy to give God thanks for his goodness. It is a lot of fun. We learn songs, listen to really great stories that teach us about being good people and on Wednesday we take the Camp Lawrence Huggers Pledge!
	After Liturgy, we have our morning activities. The activities are Arts and Crafts, Nature, Sports and Swimming. Each morning, we go to three of them with rest of the campers in our group. These are always fun!
By the time noon comes around, believe me we have all worked up an appetite. Everyone gathers in the cafeteria for lunch. But first, we find out who won clean cabin. Then the winning girls and boys group get to eat lunch first.
	After lunch, we take a little time for rest period. During rest period, we get our mail from home, write letters to home ourselves, read any books we brought from home, and rest up so we have energy for all the afternoon and evening activities for the day.
	When rest period is over, we have Canteen and rec-swim. At Canteen, we use our canteen card to buy pop, ice-cream, candy bars to eat. For rec-swim, we can play on the beach or go swimming in the lake with our friends.
	Time flies and soon we are on our way to fourth activity. For fourth activity, we go to whichever activity we did not make it to in the morning.
	After fourth activity, everyone comes together for flag lowering and dinner. Sometimes we have dinner in the cafeteria other times we might all have a hot dog cookout! Whatever we do, you can be certain that the food will be good.
	Now comes my favorite part of the camp day - evening activity. You never know what the activity staff will have planned for this. You might go on an activity staff hunt. This is when the activity staff dresses up in all kinds of strange costumes and then hides, we then go searching all over the campground looking for them. When we find one, we have to guess who it is.
	At night, we might go for a nighttime hike around the lake, build a campfire and make smore's, listen to ghost stories, visit with new friends, sneak into canteen for a late night snack and finally fall asleep dreaming of all the fun the next day has in store for us.
