Working Hard or Hardly Working? Where can one meet interesting people, stay up late, have the best and worst of times and possibly improve a skill or talent? Where else but summer camp? Many students spent weeks or even months out of their summer vacation attending several different camps. Sports camps were popular among football players, wrestlers and baseball players, just to name afew. For example, the cheerleaders went to afour day camp at UNC-W. We learned so much, commented junior Christine Santos. I think it helped us throughout the whole season. Karen Hagen, a junior member of the girls basketball team, went to a basketball camp at ECU. She said, I was able to renew old friendships and meet Kay Yow, the head coach at NC State and the 1988 Olympic basketball coach. Most of the athletes that attended camp 'Camp gave us great ideas to use for competitions and games. l guess hours of exercise, cheers, and stunts at camp paid off,' commented Cecelia White. cgftiiattgzefsaw ressiwmaszez wasws.a,ez.vtgm::'1w1tz.as I I W I,g.w5,,J,p.7evj'5g4,vu -I .,i1,f5P:i.,1f, 'Playing cards was a great way to relax after a hard day's work with layouts and copy,' commented Heidi Fisher. Journalism students not only learned yearbook techniques, but also some great card tricks. agreed it was a rewarding experience. Of course some people had difficulties and could not get some of the benefits of the workouts. Senior Sam Trelinski said, This year's football camp was one ofthe worst for me. I broke my ankle and couIdn't participate in many of the activities. For people who were not particularly interested in sweating it out, there were academic camps such as Governor's school, Boys' State, Girls' State and Summer Ventures. Boys' and Girls' State were week long experiments dealing with law and government. We basically set up our own form of government, said senior James Stallings. It was definitely an interesting event. Students selected tor Governor's School spent six weeks studying in their chosen fields from mathematics to music. l learned a great number of things about music, said Elizabeth Chambless, but the best part of Governor's School was all the interesting people I met. Summer Ventures were programs sponsored by East Carolina University. Other students who participatec in camps from band to sailing agreed that meeting people anc having fun were the best parts o' camp. Senior Tanya Tafaoa said, Journalism camp was tons ot work, but we were able to sneak ir lots of fun. Every year, teenagers or the parents of teenagers spent a great deal of time and money on the camps of their choice. Camp was just an added attraction to summer fun. Although camp can be lots of work, I always manage to have 2 great time. concluded senio Kelly Vthlliams.
