ropes. In my group was Michell Clark, Micheal Meadows, Levi Mattison,
Sami T, Mrs. Ramsey, lauren, me, Brandon. Emily, William, Mikelle, and
Seirra. We went to the spider web which was very hard to do. We also did
the Whale Watch, and the squeeze box. I also did the rock wall and the
flying squirrel. The flying squirrel was my favorite that day I had SO
MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!

On October 31st (Halloween) the sixth grade class went to the Portage
Lake Covenant Bible Camp for a field trip. It was fun because we were
divided into three teams, and we played a bunch of different games of
tag. We also played this game called Gelflings and Wizards. Then we went
into our teams. On my team there was Daniel, Kaitlin, Ben, Me (of
course), Cameron, Nick, Cady, Haley, John, and Courtney. The first game
we played when we divided into our teams was when we had to get the
wizard's orb out of his home. See we had these tubes that were cut in
half and we had to get this orb (marble) all the way out of his home
only using our tubes and we couldn't move our feet. The orb couldn't go
backwards or stop either. It was kind-of hard, but our team worked
together really well and we got the orb out of the wizard's home in
about a half an hour. When we a lunch it was really good. I had a
chicken patty with cheese and lettuce on it, a salad, and some fruit.
When we got done eating lunch we went rock climbing up a 35 ft wall! It
was so much fun! That was my first time ever rock climbing and I wasn’t
even scared! We also went on this thing called the flying squirrel. That
was one of my favorites because we had this full body harness attached
to us, and we started running while our other classmates pulled us up 40
ft off the ground. When I got up there, it was so cool and I shouted,”
Awesome! This is so cool!” I wasn’t scared when I was up there either!
Michael went on the flying squirrel at one point and the class pulled so
hard that he did a flip in between the cords and flipped back over. We
(the class) felt bad for him, but it was funny because we named that
move the Michael. I loved going to the Portage Lake Covenant Bible Camp
for the field trip and I’m going to try to go to it next summer.

My class went to a Bible Camp yesterday. Before, I didn't want to go to
the camp, but now I'm glad I went. When we got there I didn't know what
to expect. When the bus stopped we went to a big field. The employees
explained what our day was going to be like. Then I started to get
excited, because they told us that we were going to get lifted 20 feet
in the air. After they explained what we were going to do we played a
couple of tag games, then we played People to People. People to People
is a game where you have a partner and somebody calls out a motion and
your partner or you has to do the motion. Then when they say "People to
People" you have to switch partners. It was really fun, because the
staff played too. After we were done with the morning activities we got
split into three groups. I was in group two, which was Ms. Ramsey's
group. Then we got a staff member to help us get around and do the
activities. Our staff member was Sarah. She was really nice. The
first thing we did as a group was play a name game. The we had to play
a game where we had to cross the Amazon River using small cubes. The
next thing we did was play a game where you have to sing on a rope to
get to a very small platform, and all of your team mates have to be on
the platform before we could win the game and move onto the a new
activity. Next thing was the Spider Web. It took a long time, but it
was so much fun! Whale Watch is like a big tetter totter. You have to
even it out and keep it like that for ten seconds. The Squeeze Box was
fun because we were all squished together. Then we went to the
Cafeteria. We were the first group in there and there was juice on the
tables, which was really good. For lunch we got a choice between a
chicken patti, bread sticks, pudding, and a salad. I had bread sticks,
a salad, and some of the awesome juice. After lunch we went to the
ropes course. We got to do two activities there, the flying squirrel,
but I was too chicken to do the rock wall. I'm glad I went and I would
like to go again!! ~Lauren Merriman |

Yesterday 10/31/07 we went to plcbc camp
in Onekama. We left at 8:15 and came back at 2:30. When we got there we
got to play games like tag and people to people. people to people is
where you find a partner and the person that doesn't have a partner goes
in the middle and calls off things like nose to knee. After we played
some of those games, Matt said that we could get in our groups and find
a counselor. Ben went with our group with Ms. Sheppelmann.
The first thing we did was learn each others names and
we had to act out what we liked doing. After we went around the circle
we got tube and we put them together and put a marble or the wizards orb
down it. we messed up the first couple of times and then we finally got
the wizards orb to the end. Then we walked through the woods and went to
a thing called missing bridge. Missing Bridge is where you have to get
across 2 boxes and then one more to safety from the lava. It was hard
because there were well the small people went across first. We laid a
big board across and then I went across with the little board. We didn't
make everybody across.
After we went to lunch we went to the rock wall
and then to the flying squirrel. first the group I was in went to the
rock wall first. I was first, I was so close to the top but I was very
scared and I wanted to get down. Next we went to the flying squirrel. It
was very fun going up. But dum, dum, dum Michael Flew through the cords.
I didn't want to go but I ended up going up because we weren't going to
run as fast after what happened to Michael. But the good thing is we had
fun and he's okay. I love plcbc it is so fun. ~Cady Lowe 11/02/07

Yesterday the 6th graders (of Onekama Consolidated Schools) went to
Portage Lake Covenant Bible Camp. We learned about teamwork and how you
can be more successful using it over trying to do it by yourself. At the
beginning of the morning, we all played 5 games. One was like freeze tag
but not exactly, another was knee tag, and another was a game where
someone told you what you and your partner had to do without falling,
another game was you went into a circle and your partner was in another
circle when somebody yelled what is was you were supposed to do you find
your partner and hold he command (if you were last to do the command
your out). Another game we played was wizards and gelphlings After that
we split into 3 groups. One was with Mrs. Ramsey, another was with Mrs.
Scheppelmann (I was in her group), and Mrs.Turk's group. My group first
went to the beach. We introduced our selves to Matt and Ben. The next
game we played there was an orb in a wizards cave and we were trying to
steal it without him waking up. If it hit the ground you had t run out
as fast as you could so you wouldn't get caught. The tricky part was
that you couldn't use your hands because you would freeze in your spot
and you would have to be let free so we had t use pieces of pipe but
when the orb was in your pipe . We made it in about 15 tries. That is
were teamwork comes in handy! Our next activity was "missing bridge." We
were going on vacation when a volcano errupted! We had 2 boards to use
and we had to get everyone to the 3rd platform without the boards or any
of us touching the ground. We never beat that activity. We had to go to
lunch next :). We got Bosco Sticks and Chicken Patties, they were really
good. Then we went to me favorite part, Rock Climbing and Flying
Squirell! I beat both rock climbing walls about 3 times each. The Flying
Squirell was fun until Micheal got wrapped around and he got scratches
all over his leg (then I was terrified)! That is how my day at P.L.C.B.C.
went. It was really fun :) :)..Then I got to go trick-or-treating! ~
