Local Scout Shares Experience At Summer Camp​

by Tristan Lucas, age 12, Boy Scout Troop 597:

Do you enjoy hot nice days and having fun 24/7?

Well let me tell you all about summer camp at Camp Roy C Manchester. First, I want to talk about the staff.  The staff was amazing, they were very respectful and kind to the campers.  The staff did their best to help us with our requirements. The staff was very creative on how they taught our requirements.

The second thing I want to talk to you about is the food. The food was great, one night I felt like a king the food was so good. The food servers were very patient, they would not get angry when we didn't want a certain food or if we did want a certain food. They would give us seconds at some meals.  Also, the kitchen and dining room was very clean.

Next thing I want to talk about is the Trading Post.  The Trading Post was a very cool place. The Trading Post had many different types of food like pizza and ice cream, especially these things called Big Boppers which were chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream in the middle. They had very cool objects like fidget spinners and make your own knife cases.

Lastly, the free time: free time was very fun and enjoyable.  We had many activities that kept us busy. One of them was this thing called the Rocket, where we would go out to the middle of lake and jump around this big balloon and try not to knock others off.  It was fun. Another thing was, we could go shoot shotguns, rifles or even archery. If we wanted to, we could work on our merit badge classes. Another thing we could simply just go and talk with your friends.
