  1. Camp Warm Beach is a really awesome way to add to a student’s learning at the end of elementary school. I am most looking forward to sleeping in a cabin since I have never actually gone camping before. I am really excited about this new experience. Also, after seeing the map of Camp Warm Beach, I am eager to explore the woods and play on the playfields, the mini golf course, the tennis courts, and the climbing wall. I am sure that camp will be a cool adventure.
    I don’t have many concerns about camp. However, if I had to choose, my only concern about Camp Warm Beach would be the amount of bugs that are going to be there. This is because my immune system overreacts to any sort of bug bite, especially mosquito bites. I am sure that I will wear bug repellent everyday in order to stay protected. :)

  2. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! I think that Camp Warm Beach is going to be so awesome. I have heard from previous fifth graders that camp is super fun. I have never gone to a sleep away camp before, so I am looking forward to it. I have also heard that the food is amazing. I know that is not the main part of camp, but I like good food. I think it will also be a great way to spend time with my friends. Since I will know the girls in my bunk, it will fun to hang out together. I also like to stay active and play sports, so I am eager to get to the pool, climbing wall, play fieds, woods, and the golf course. I have never done mini golf, but it should be fun. I only have a few questions about camp. These are my questions: 1. How many bugs will there be? (I hate bugs) 2. Can we swim in the sound ? 3. How much time are we going to stay with everyone and how much time do we have on our own as a bunk? I AM SO EXCITED!! CAMP WARM BEACH, HERE I COME!!

  3. I am soooooo excited for camp!! I thought it would take forever to get to this point but it actually went fast! I am so excited for the rock wall and the pool. I am also excited for mini golf. I remember when my sister went to fifth grade camp and I have been waiting since then (and that was two years ago! What a wait!) I am also excited my mom is going. I have never been to a camp where I sleep over for two nights away from my family but I know it will be fun!! I think the food will be good and I am glad because sometimes camps have low quality food. I think this will be a good way to get to know other people and to spend time with my friends. Most of my questions were answered today but I have a couple. My first question is, will we be able to swim in the Puget Sound. I think it might be too cold, but maybe. Also I was wondering if we should bring mini shampoos or conditioners for the showers. I am so excited for camp and I can't wait. CAMP WARM BEACH, DON'T BE LATE!!!!!!!!
    p.s I also think the bus ride will be fun!

  4. I am really, really, really, really excited and can not wait to go on this trip! I am really looking forward to swimming in the pool, the rock climbing, and sleeping in the cabins. You see, I've never been camping (if I did, I forgot) and I am really looking forward to it. Sleeping in cabins is probably going to be fun. My brother went to Camp Warm Beach, and he stayed in the Whistler Lodge. He said that there was going to be a fun game near the end of camp. Plus, the food is going to be G-R-E-A-T! So, since we can't bring hair dryers; do we have to air dry our hair? How long is the pool? I don't have a lot of questions but all I know is that I WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME AT CAMP WARM BEACH!!!!!!

  5. I have been looking forward to camp since the beginning of fifth grade! All of my friends that have passed fifth grade have said camp was super fun, and that they got a lot of freedom. Hearing this made me get pumped up! Also, my dad is coming to chaperone, which will be a great expierience for me! From what I heard camp kind of lets you be an adult, they won't treat you like a baby. Because being a fifth grader is a step to being a grownup. I am most excited to go to the pool and the climbing wall. I have seen pictures of them, and they look so fun. I can't believe that camp is already here, I can't wait for wednesday.

  7. I am so excited to go to camp warm beach! I cant believe it is a week away! It seems like a month! Also I will get to add to my great times here at Cascade Ridge before I leave! I have been here sense kindergarten and I have looked forward o camp sense then and can believe that it is almost there. I packed like a week ago I was so excited!!! Mostly, I want to get in that pool and up on the climbing wall! I have heard the food is really good!!!! So that will be great to! Overall, I am so happy that camp is finally here and so ready for Wednesday! The only concern I have is getting homesick. But I think I will be having so much fun that I won't have time to be homesick! Also it will be fun to go on a trip with all my classmates. Camp Warm Beach is going to be so fun and I can't wait until Wednesday! Its going to be FANTASTIC!

  8. First of all I think camp is going to be awesome!
    I know I will get to go to the pool and the climbing wall. I can't wait. I have been waiting for six years. I also hope that the food is good like I heard! I don't have any questions because they were answered in class. I can't wait for camp.

  9. I am really, really excited for Camp Warm Beach. I can’t believe it is coming up so soon! My friend told me you have a BLAST there. I am really looking forward to, well just about everything! He told me you will love the food more than anything else. Also he said everything is so entertaining, but I have to say that I think the near the end of the day will be the best. I enjoy hanging out with campfires, and sleeping in the cabins will most likely be like a slumber party. The one difference is you will actually get sleep. I am a little concerned about getting lost because I never have really been good at knowing where I am going for the first time. It is helpful that we made the maps, but with or without a map, I have no clue where to go. A question of mine is since you can’t bring spray on bug spray; can you bring spray on sunscreen? Now other than that, I am positive that this will be a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S trip!

  10. I think camp is going to be so FUN!!! When my brother and sister went to camp, they said the food was delicious. So that's something I'm excited for. Another thing I am excited for is that all of the fun activities that there are: swimming, rock climbing, scavenger hunts and more. But the only thing I'm worried about canoeing. When I go there I think my knees are going to hurt a lot. I already have bad knees so when I get in the boat, I think that they will start to hurt. But other than that, the trip is going to be so FUN!!!

  11. I am so excited! I can't wait until Warm Beach! I am looking forward to the climbing wall, swimming pool, and canoeing. I am also really ecstatic about learning all of the amazing thing we have to learn! I don't have any questions, but I hope I like the food. I wonder who my cabin mates are. I really want to find out! But other than that, I am so ready for camp!

  15. I am looking forward to going to Camp Warm Beach so I can play tennis, go swimming, canoeing and hang out with my pals. I am really exited to see what camp is like and what fun it holds. I am wondering what sort of things we will learn? I am also wondering how long the showers will be? I just can't wait for camp to come. I am so exited!

  17. I simply love camping. Especially making smores because I have a great technique to roast a marhmellow. Also they have swimming pools, and many activities to do. Also they let you have freedom. I have three concerns though. One is the is the food there. Luckily though my mom packed apples, and peanut butter. Also what if we get lost because that camp looks pretty huge. And how will we know when to get to places on time for activities, or do we choose them? All in all I think camp wil be AWESOME!

  20. I am super EXICTED to go to camp, all this week I've been thinking about Camp Warm Beach. I am looking forward learning information about the wetlands there. Also I can't wait to see what cabin name I'm in, and see who are my cabin roommate. I am super duper looking forward going in to the pool, doing mini golf, and climbing a 40 ft rock climbing wall. Don't get me started with the food. When I saw the menu to eat, my mouth got watery and it all sounds very good, I am looking forward to the food as well. I am super excited going canoeing. One of my concerns is what if you can't find your group from all the people there's going to be there. My last concern is, will we see any wild animals. Anyway I am super excited to go to camp. I am so excited that even my parents told me to stop talking about camp.

  21. Are you kidding me, I CAN'T WAIT FOR CAMP! Hanging out with my pals , canoeing, swimming, mini golf, climbing wall, and much much much much more! I like how we do classes with our class right now and free time with anyone. When I first saw the menu, OH MY GOSH I fell in love with it. I will be ready to go with my clothes, toothbrush, and my stuffed animal, Teddy. I do have some concerns. One, do we take showers, and if so when and how long. Two, how much longer I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAR LONG! I just cant wait for the camp fires, joke ( I've been coming up with tons), friends, and activities.

  22. I am soooo exited about camp!! I am looking forward to all the fun activities we get to do at camp- especially swimming, not to mention hanging out with friends and tons more! Although I am a little worried about the weather, (its been rainy all weekend) I am sure I'll have a great time anyway!

  23. In my opinion, 5th grade is the best grade at Cascade Ridge Elementary School because we get to go to… CAMP WARM BEACH! Can you believe camp is just three days away? I’m looking forward to the cabins, pool, tennis court, lodges, the climbing tower, oh, and the FOOD!

    I’m not the greatest swimmer in the world, so I’ll have plenty of practice at the pool area at Camp Warm Beach, but I’m a little nervous to take the swimming test. I wonder how long we’ll have to swim to pass. How long is the pool all together?

    I’m also excited for the tennis court. I’m not much of a tennis player, but I’ll try my best. Will they provide us with tennis rackets?

    My brother had gotten a high score on the climbing tower last year. He said he had a blast, so I want to try it. I have a minor phobia to heights… I’m not sure how far I’ll go…

    I hope the food is tasty. Collin had said the food was delicious, but you couldn’t go up to help yourself. The waiters would come by and serve you. I don’t have man concerns about Camp, AND I CAN’T WAIT!

  24. CAMP IS GONNA BE AWESOME! Were going to do so much fun stuff. When I get there I'm going to hang out with all my friends, do things like the climbing wall, and have lots of fun! Also, the food there is going to be so good. The only concern I have about camp is that I might forget something, but otherwise, I'm not nervous at all. I really want to know who's in my group. I can't wait until Tuesday to find that out. I think I'm going to have lots of fun at 5th Grade camp.

  25. I CANT WAIT TELL CAMP!!! I think it is going to be super fun and cool. My sisters have been there and they told me that it is super fun! I looked up our menu and the food looks delicious! I don't have much questions or concerns. This doesn't matter much but I hope that I get in the same cabin with more than just one of my friends. I hope the weather will be good also. I don't really bug either. Over all though my expectations are high and I' am pretty sure I will have a great time

  26. I love the idea of going to camp at the end of the year. It's like celebrating that you finished elementary school. I'm really looking forward to camp. I am so anxious and excited to see who is in my cabin. I also want to know about all the fun activities we're going to do.
    My concerns are that since there are a lot of rules, I really hope I'm going to remember and follow them so I don't get a "GO" because I love doing activities outdoors and I would be devastated if I had to go home.
    My questions about camp are that even if you had to go to the bathroom and everyone is asleep, would you go by yourself to the bathroom or would you wake up your chaperone? I think you have to wake up your chaperone but I wasn't sure.
    I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL CAMP!!!!!!!

  28. I am very excited for the upcoming camping trip. There are many things that I am excited about and some things that I am worried about.
    Some of the things that I am excited for are that we get to sleep in cabins with our friends. Whenever I go camping, I usually sleep in a tent but I have never slept in a cabin. I am also excited about the things that we will be doing during the camp. For example, rock climbing, archery, and boating. I am really excited about archery. I have never done it before but I have seen it many times on T.V. or movies. It looks really cool and fun especially when the person pulls the string of the bow with the arrow and tries to hit the target. I am also excited for rock climbing because I have done it once with a friend and it was really fun. It is also fun trying to race people to the top by climbing. I am also excited to learn about wildlife and how to survive in the wilderness.

    Some of the things I worry about are big animals like bears or cougars and also getting body injury or allergic reaction to some plants. Bears and cougars can be very aggressive when they are hungry for foods. And they have been spotted during day time and night time. Since we will be outside most of the day, I worry that they might come out to get our foods or harm us. I am also worried about getting hurt like spraining my ankles or arms and getting allergic reaction to plants like poison ivy, because if I get hurt, I would have to sit out during any sport activity or get send home.

    As you can see, I am very excited for camp because of the many cool and new things that we are going to do and learn but I am also kind of worried about very little things. Another thing that I am looking forward to is seeing all of the wildlife and scenery. I enjoy looking at the trees and animals that live around the area that are not harmful.
