Dear Mom,
Things are going really well for me here at Riot Recording Camp. It was a little weird and slow at first as we were all trying to get used to each other, but we worked through the kinks and I think I really like my cabin mates. Things are going really fast now. We’re gonna have an awesome summer!
The counselors are all really nice. We’re doing all kinds of things. Yesterday it rained really hard, so we spent most of the day inside. Me and Meanie got into some trouble, we were acting out a scene from Return of the Jedi and I accidently jumped on Sally Timpani’s head. Counselor Riot said we were like a bunch of little criminals, but he was just kidding. Then he gave us popsicles!
The other day, we got to make stained glass window art. Counselor Riot said mine were the best, but I think he says that to everyone. I caught him telling Sally Timpani the same thing the other day when we were gluing googly eyes to our paper turkeys. So I took mine and threw it against the wall and broke it. Glass was everywhere! They made me apologize and clean it up, but I’m so, so over it now.
We’ve got a lot of fun things coming up to. We’ve got a dodge ball tournament tomorrow and I’m really good at dodge ball, so I’m gonna end up taking on almost everyone. Counselor Riot says we even get to have a water balloon war with Camp King Snake. We have to spend a whole day doing science stuff next week. Oh no! But I hear we get make volcanoes, so that might be cool. There’s this really cute girl in the next cabin over, Jem. Maybe I’ll throw mine at her!
I get these funny feelings when I think about her, then I just start pacing. The other day I spaced out and ended up walking down Old Riot Hollow trail farther than anyone ever has before! Then I got lost in the woods. But they found me. I’m better now. I think Dad and I might need to talk about it when I get home. No offense, but you wouldn’t understand. It’s a guy thing.
All in all, mom, things are going really good here. I think this is going to be best summer camp EVER! Tell Dad and little Wiley that I love them.
Your Favorite Son,
Jimothy Jim
