Even though I'm only 15, I've been waning to leave home for a while. I'd been looking up places I could go over the summer when I came across a camp in California. I knew right away that this is where I needed to go. So I convinced my overprotective parents to let their oldest daughter leave home for 3 whole months so I can spend my summer in my dream place. After packing everything I needed for a whole summer I left the confinements of home to head off into the unknown place with a new feeling of freedom. Now here I am, standing in front of the place I will call home for the rest of the summer. This is Camp Helena.
