The best Christmas present I have ever received was to go to Space Camp in Huntsville, AL, because it was inspiring, motivating, and fun. It was the best present i have ever gotten. I will never forget my experience there. Going to Space Camp was inspiring. I now love space, I'm practically obsessed. It's inspired me enough to research it even more, I know a lot about space now. Finally, it's my favorite thing we do in science, I always answer question nobody else answers, and I give all my attention to the subject at hand. Nothing will ever change my thoughts and feelings of space. It also motivated me. It made me wanting to go into the aerospace field, I want to someday have an experience of my own in the realm. It has motivated me to
Many units where on picket duty around the encampment or part of the quartermaster and commissary department to gather supplies in the surrounding
Star Camp was the largest of the five satellite camps, containing eighteen barracks. It held Jewish inmates that were appointed for exchange. These prisoners did not wear the usual concentration camp garbs but instead were allowed to wear their own clothes. However, they were forced to wear a yellow Star of David, which gave that camp the name of star camp.
Throughout WWII, people of different countries were interned and imprisoned in camps all over the world. Japanese-Americans on the West Coast were taken out of their homes and placed in internment camps like Manzanar to detain them from communicating with Japan. Families were torn apart in these camps, leaving them scattered across the United States. The Japanese-Americans were deprived of the claim of habeas corpus, and soon they attempted to return to the life that they lived before the war. Even after Camp Manzanar was closed and World War II ended, Japanese-American families on the West Coast still experienced prejudice and unfairness in their new lives.
On the far Northern border of Dundee Wisconsin, a small Scout Camp was founded in 1946 and a legend was born. This camp was named Long Lake, after the lake upon which it resides, and it would experience its fair share of storms and turmoil over the ensuing years. Some of its visitors only ever viewed it as a mosquito infested swamp while others would go on to call it their second home. To me however, I have always had a love hate relationship with its wooded trails and murky waters, yet I shall always cherish my memories of it in my heart. Regardless, Camp Long Lake is still one of my favorite places to visit with its quaint ecology conservation lodge, the various activities its main waterfront has to offer, and the thrills of sleeping
I want to work at camp because I would like to give back. I have attended MFU camp for the past 11 years and I want to give back to MFU and the experience that I had during my years at camp. I would like to make an impact on kids’ lives and help create amazing memories, just like how previous councilors have done for me. I want to help change kids’ lives and give them a week that they will not forget.
“Honoring the fallen by helping the wounded.” This is Camp Hope’s motto. Can you image what soldiers go through? Soldiers risk their lives to keep us safe. How can we repay them? I believe one way that we could repay them is through Camp Hope.
Waking up 6:30 in the morning isn't common for me but July 28th was the day I was driving up to Athens for Dawg Camp. I was waiting for this day since I was fortunate to receive a scholarship to go to Dawg Camp Discovery thanks to the UGA Parents Leadership Council. Every UGA event I attended, convinced me that Dawg Camp was an once in a lifetime opportunity. I was beyond ecstatic when I found out I was one of the recipient of the reward. Once arriving at UGA, I walked into Ramsey startled by the excitement coming from the basketball court. All of the camp counselors were beyond theatric when all of the campers came in one by one. As the day went on, I began to connect with my group, Silver 4, more and more. We were able to talk about our
Walter Camp founded American football in 1869. He is known as the “Father of American Football." Camp developed rule changes that cast the foundation of modern American Football. The sport started to rise and many people wanted to play or watch football. Steroids and concussions where main problems that are associated with football. Anabolic Steroids retain protein like the hormone testosterone to help build muscle. For football players, steroids are tempting because of the fast results in gaining weight and muscle in short amounts of time.
Camp Ketcha offers a unique environment for preschoolers to play. At their nature-based preschool, not only do they play inside with the typical toys for the little tikes, they use the outdoors to entertain their students for hours. Usually, when someone thinks of children's toys, legos, barbies, and toy race cars come to mind. But at Camp Ketcha, the children typically are more entertained by horses, gourds, and apple trees.
Holocaust survivors after the war, were not completely done with the suffering. Most lost their homes, belongings, and family to the germans. So when they were released from the camps exhausted and confused, what did they do? Well, most of them moved away or tried to return to their homes. Anywhere they could go to escape the germans, they went. Even after the war was over, anti-semitism still lingered in europe. Despite being mass-liberated, there continued to be violent protests and threats towards jews.
Camp Shalom, a home away from home. Camp Shalom is a Christian camp that has been apart of my life for the past 9 years. Starting at 2nd grade kids can start going to camp for “mini camp” a camp for two days and one night. Then, when kids reach the 4th grade they are in the “village.” This is a section of camp with kids in the grades 4, 5, and 6. When kids reach 7th grade they go to “outpost.” Outpost is similar to village but with older kids. After you are done being a camper you have the opportunity to be an assistant counselor. Being an assistant counselor is when my life truly started to change.
In my view, space exploration is the most fascinating thing and that people should learn more about. In addition, outer space is one of the few places we don't have answers on and has scientists all over the world hypothesizing it and posung theories. Some might object to this program being irrelevant, of course, on the grounds that the simulation does not tell you every single little detail about a planet or satellite. Yet i would argue that this program does however give you a better understanding of how gravity works, how vast space actually is, and how satellites were back in the day. It is like looking into a time capsule or looking into the future, however and whatever you want to learn. Overall, i believe that this 3-D program will not only educate, but intrigue millions of children all over the world, and further develop them in the STEM
Space has many wonderful sites. I have always wanted to go into space and explore its wonders. Neil Armstrong showed us the way of success. Because of Neil Armstrong, we are now able to allow more people to go into space. His work persuaded people never to give up. He also motivated people with his influential quote, "That's one small step for man, one giant step for mankind." Once Armstrong stepped on the moon he said these words. Which changed the course of
As humans, we are born with a natural desire to learn and discover. With space exploration, we are able to do just that. In an online essay called “Is Space Exploration Worth the Cost”, Dr. Joan Vernikos,
Mankind has always been fascinated with exploring the unknown. From sailing to distant lands to someday setting foot on other planets, the spirit of exploration is the same. Bur now with the current economic situation and the high cost of sending people to space, NASA is being looked at as a way to free up some much needed funds. Although, there is many problems here on planet Earth that need addressing, the benefits of space exploration far out weight the disadvantages. Space exploration has given us more advanced technology, advances in the medical field, and a boost to the economy and these facts cannot be disputed.
