National Boys Outdoor Leadership Camp Part 2
by Alexandar Veljanovski, Camper
I was really glad when David and Todd asked
me if I want to do this text because this is a
really interesting job for me to do .I was glad
that they wanted me to write this article because I’m going to speak for 60 campers who
spent a lovely week in Berovo, east Macedonia. I’m not going to bother you with a long
speech and I’m going to present my opinions
and facts.
First of all I must say I had a long trip like almost everybody else. We traveled from Negotino -Veles- Berovo which is almost 150
km. We arrived a little bit earlier, I think. I didn’t knew what was going to happen, but my
counselor Josh del Pino (I’m sending him my
greetings) explained to me . We made our
flag and our name: “Eagles.” There were
other groups like “Grey Wolves,” ”Walking
Dead,” Metal Maniacs,” “Biohazard 11,” and “
Bad Company.”
They gave us pencils, pens and a book with
schedules. We had breakfast 3 sessions,
lunch 3 sessions, free time sports time, dinner, electives and bed time. On the last day
we had: “fun day”. It was great and we
learned about Teamwork, Community/society
(which was a little bit boring), Leadership,
Arts, Health/First Aid, and Outdoors. We
learned a lot of things which we would never
learn any other place.
I made a lot of friends, not just with campers but with the counselors too, and they
were really nice. We had slip and slide, and
we learned how to play Baseball, American Football and Ultimate Frisbee really
well. So I had a lot of fun and I’ll go again. I
think this is the time to stop my article and I
hope I’m going to write again really soon.
Good luck everybody.
