These camps create a special community. Attending summer sleep-away camps leads to tremendously positive experiences that affect children throughout their lives. Summer sleep-away camps can offer both physical and emotional health benefits in a number of ways. The obvious reasons include fresh air, increased exercise, a break from technology (such as phones, computers, and internet), and structured meal times. At (name of camp) in (location), they provide numerous nature walks and hikes throughout the day.
As a child, every fall, my parents would take me and my siblings camping. Dad worked a lot, so we counted down the days of summer, until we got to be together. Every breath I took was like I was inhaling my childhood. I could hear the waves bouncing off the rocks as we sat on the patio and had lunch. The smell of the water and the warmth that touched my skin, when the sun peeked through the clouds, took me back in time to the campground.
Then I became accustom to going to church, and even in the summer time the church had summer programs that I attended all summer and they would feed us lunch and we would play games all day and this was like very special for me. When I grew up and got married, and had my own children, I found myself doing the same routines with them. Now that I live in New York, I searched for (2) two years to find a church group that reminded me of home. Once I did, I became a part and joined the church group, and to me it means a family away from family, and it makes me feel complete and safe that I have the group of people that relates to me on the level that I was accustom to when I was growing up. I can identify with the older people sitting on one side of the church and the younger generation sitting on the other side, I can identify with when someone needs a help and hand, the church group is there to fill in like a family for them.
Small towns have their own entertainment such as talent shows, picnics and fairs. Family spend a lot of time participating in outdoor activities like camping, fishing and hiking which is very cost efficient. So, yes I would consider living in small town, because I would have a lot time to enjoy my family and enjoy the quietness, peacefulness and cleanliness of nature. I believe I will be healthier
Jimmy grew up having a normal childhood besides the fact that he didn’t know who his father was. He was always an athletic kid in any sport he played, but showed his talent mainly for swim. During his first season swimming he never lost making it to nationals winning every event he swam in. But that was not the weird part, the weird part was on his 13th birthday which happened to be a stormy night Jimmy and his mom were having a normal diner. When his mom got up to do the dishes she knocked over a glass of water, Jimmy tried to reach out to grab it but he could not.
I love to read, play silly board games with my family, walk my dog on the beach, spend hours in my garden and cook. I am often extrovert but can be shy. Mostly I am happy and content with life but some things make me frustrated, angry or sad. I have had many roles, lived in many places and experienced many environments. Having worked out who I am does Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory explain my development and how I came to be the way I am?
Become the vision that we need in future generations. Show your family how you live a simple life, full of humbleness, respect and graciousness. Take your children out into nature and share the beauty that is there to behold. Allow them to develop their own view of the pond and knowledge that everything manufactured by human hands is not a necessity. Give them information to allow their minds to grow as Thoreau did during his time in the cabin.
My Favorite Mistake When I was a high school student, I played badminton a lot. There was badminton extracurricular activity in my school. Each year, students had to register for one extracurricular activity. I joined badminton until the second year. In third year, my friends asked me whether I wanted to join the red-cross extracurricular activity.
In order to give us a brighter future, my parents and grandparents emigrated from Laos to United States. They moved into many different places before they finally settled in Fresno. During my childhood moments, I remembered going to school every day, not knowing how it will benefit me in the future. I don’t see a reason why I have to go to school besides playing and having fun with my friends. I always lack on my homework and watched movies instead of studying.
Home, Everlasting Living in the quiet, rolling countryside of Northwest Georgia, some people wouldn't dream of spending their summer vacations anywhere else. With its dense, endless cedar and pine forests, picturesque foothills, and rich history, it was like a real-life portrait of a southern American dream. For me, growing up in said countryside wasn't always a picnic, especially during a particular weekend in the middle of summer breaks throughout my elementary school years. When most kids would be down at the swimming hole, taking in the sweltering sun and plunging into the lukewarm water, or fishing at the river with their families, mine would all be gathered together for a two-day-long extravaganza, or what I liked to call "wasting a weekend of summer vacation." The welcoming and peaceful ambiance of my modest hometown sits about a mile north of the interstate between Atlanta and Birmingham, 20 miles from the closest major city.
