Day 15: July 11

The day started out normal, which is, waking up and playing basketball. A lot of people take a shower on this day because this is the day we have mass and we have to look clean for God. Breakfast was normal, as well as inspection. When Holy Child passes us during inspection, we have to be very quiet because they are having mass in our chapel. After inspection, we got dressed for mass and went to the main hall for song practice and to announce honorable mentions and camper of the week. My cabin mates Osaze and Sergio got honorable mention, while my other cabin mate, Andrew S., won camper of the week. Other people that got honorable mentions were David G., Kenneth P, Adrian C., and Cristian M. after that, we had mass and the Reiss family came over to celebrate mass with us. We had lunch next, which went by right away. After that we had rest period. We woke up well rested to have field day. It is a competition of various activities, which includes: the soccer kick, lay-ups, softball toss, running bases, long jump, suicides, and the 50 yard dash. After doing those amazing activities, we went to the pool to cool ourselves down. After that we had normal dinner. After finishing dinner, we had to practice a song as cabin for camp fire. After song practice, we lined up to go to the campfire.

Campfire is a tradition where campers and counselors sit around a campfire with a stream in front of you to sing songs, do some activities, and to announce some activities won by cabins. The campfire rose high and was burning bright orange when we were singing songs and having fun. This week, Mr. Arte announced that The Elite won inspection. After that he announced the winners of Field day, which was Joshua N. of the 7th grade, and David G. in the 8th grade. After that, we song a few more songs and then we had night talk. CJ asked us to look in the fire and pray quietly, which was pretty peaceful. Then Mr. Arte dismissed us by cabin to go back to camp and brush our teeth. Once we did that we went to the cabins and listened to the night talk given by the counselors. After they were done, we were off to sleep.
