The lions camp is a very special camp. Because it is for handicapped children. We built it for the children to have a place to have a nice time.
They have activities all through the weeks. Another thing about it is they give you five dollars for you to use up there for refreshments. The counselors are very nice up there. And the one boy that gets the most ribbons gets a cake at the end of the session. And the girls get the same thing. Hodges Gardens was the best thing I liked about this year because we got to see all the different kinds of flowers and walk through the gardens.

But mainly of all we got to see the flags for the first year. But the best of everything I like are the Lioners who were the ones who were able to let us go to their camp. And I also like the camp song of all the rest. It reminded me of so many different things. I will never forget this camp as long as I live.
