Diary of a first time camper #4

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

Brooke E from girls bunk one went tubing for the first time ever while at camp this summer and used her blogging option class to tell us all about it.  She even went out and took the photos to illustrate it.  Thanks Brooke!

One hot sunny day, me and my friend Maddie S were going tubing – it was my first time.  So when it is your first time tubing you will go down to the water front and listen to directions.  You must always remember or know the signs for going:

FAST

SLOW

MEDIUM

STOP

The next thing you do is partner up.  I was with Maddie.  Then you get on the tube.  The boat starts out slow in the first lake so you can get used to it.  Then you get into the second lake and they ask you if you want to go fast or slow.  Me and Maddie said fast.  We kept holding up our thumb which is the sign for fast so we went really fast.  In a couple of minutes we flipped on a really sharp turn.  It was fun but our turn was over.  We got to swim to the boat.  At the end when all of our friends finished tubing, we got to jump off the boat into the second lake.  We had to swim back to the boat again and then the boat driver gave us a very fast boat ride to the docks for more kids to go.  I loved tubing.
