u'M-M-E-R-T-l-M-E U N 81 FU N Summertime. What's it all about? Sun. Surf. Adventure. Beach. Tan. Summer camps. Summer camps? Yes, summer camps were the craze this summer. Not everyone went to one, but they heard all about the action. Summer camps were one of the best ways to make some great memories. Most camps were not all play, there was usually a serious reason students were there, whether religious or for a school function. Junior Tim Bowles went to Camp Agape 'Lto get a spiritual high! HI went to Young Life and cheerleading camp 'cause everyone who went got to know each other tons betterf' Junior Dena Northup said. Summer camps were also a place where students could test their independence and responsibility. They were on their own even in the midst of friends. Even though they seemed surrounded by friends, most first time campers were a little anxious and awkward compar- ed to the veterans who knew what it was all about. Believe it or not, campers missed home. At the end of the week I was ready to go home but things were just getting going, Senior Chad Venable said. Some of the more undesir- JUST A SWINGINY Senior Dawn Lovett takes a ride on the Death Swing during her stay at Young Life Camp. The swing was only one of the many activities offered at camp. Young Life Camp is located at the foot of Mt. Princeton in Colorado. FUN RAISING. Senior student council members Zac DeFord, Steven McKay, Chad Venable and Lee Simms sell Rebel spirit items during registration day at Tascosa. Student council members raised funds to promote Rebel spirit. 'IB Summer Camp!Student Life able parts of summer activities were the rules and regula- tions. Since students didn't have their parents go with them to summer camp, they felt they could go often footloose and fancy-free. Ulf I could change the rules I would have lights out 'til three and co-ed dormitories, Senior Zac DeFord said. Fun times don't last forever and neither did summer or summer camps. If summer and summer camps did last forever, students would pro- bably get tired of them. Nah, the worst part of summer camp was leavingll' Junior Corey Mooneyham said. -Jennifer Galle ,,..-.
