spreading their wings the school year is almost finished and robert is anxiously waiting for summer to arrive thats because he will be heading off to summer camp again this year when he went last year it was his first time away from his parents although he was a little nerv ous at first going to summer camp made him feel older thats because he knew his parents trusted him enough to let him go away for a little while to take part in activities with other children his age he learned so much and had such a good time that instead of feeling homesick he returned from summer camp with lots of stories to share with his friends and family robert can even remember all the songs that the monitors taught his group sometimes he even hums them when he goes to bed at night but most of all he remembers the laughter and fun he had with the older kids and monitors while he was at camp he would wake up wondering what fun activities they would do that day it was enjoyable to be surround ed by other kids his age who shared the same interests even roberts par ents noticed a big change in him when he returned from camp although they were probably even more nervous than robert was when they dropped him off that first day they have never regretted their deci sion this year roberts parents told him that he coud decide if he wanted to go back to the same camp or choose a different location robert isnt sure what he will decide but he is certain hell go he has been looking forward to going for several months and cant wait to enjoy the sense of freedom and adventure that summer camp offers i fv v 4 4 v 4 1
