2024 Day 1

​Hello parents. the day began with the us arriving at the visitor center (some getting a bit lost along the way) we were met with personality tests to see how we would interact. Some of us found the results insulting and others did not. The majority of us ended up being introverts, which should make this week interesting. 

Once we got to know each other we got into the water for the first time and practiced our canooing skills which will be useful tomorrow. We traversed the harsh environment of the Patuxent when suddenly a harsh wind blew in and capsized all of our vessels, thus we were forced to practice re-mounting our aquatic stallions. Unfortunately two of our compatriots had perished in the commotion. We ended up returning to our starting location with heavy hearts, and got on the bus to go to the next camping location.

At the campsite we were forced to do battle with our shelters under a ticking time limit. None succeeded. As of the creation of this document we have not consumed sustenance since lunch and are unsure of our next meal. 

With love,
​Your "Happy" Campers
