One of the young participant wrote down her experience within the camp........

At Happy Camp we had to get into our group. The groups were Great Vows, Great Wisdom, Good deeds, Totoro, Pikachu and Compassion. At the start we did some exercise with the reverend. The each groups went into different activities it was fun. At lunchtime All of the groups lined up and went to the dinning hall to eat lunch, The food was delicious. In the afternoon we went up stairs for the Tea Ceremony, the tea was cold but nice. We listened to a story about a young man not listening to his elders, then we all went down stairs for snack , but we stayed within our group and the food was yummy, we then went into the classroom to learn some poems. At the end each group perform dances, plays or poems for the parents. Each group got a prize and some individual gets special prize.
