Every summer at camp, just as an extra thing when we have about 15 minutes or so to kill I do a little A&C type thing that I like to call "Camp Is".
I put a peice of construction paper on the wall that says "Camp is..." and the campers have to write or draw on a seperate peice of paper what camp is to them, then we tape them all to the wall in a collage around "camp is". It ends up looking pretty neat.
Annnnyway...
The summer I did this at the band camp I worked at, one of the campers wrote a poem and it was awesome!
(I just have to mention that the camp was on my university campus and our mascot was the Acadia Axemen)
Camp is of music, camp is of art.
Camp is what binds us,
and sets us apart.
Camp shows us friendship,
the value of youth.
Ask one or all of us,
for we speak the truth.
And what, with us, we bring
That we give and we show,
Will lend unto others
The things that we know.
With friendship and care,
All campers are bound,
With feet for our movement
And us for our sound.
And with that I leave you
With one thing to ask...
Who can deny that...

This poem was so great that I asked him if I could have it.. he was pretty flattered.
