Not much of an entry, but if anyone wants to bear the BUA standard to camp wing, drop an email to spongebob_space_adventure@yahoo.com

CAMP WING IS AMAZING. Don't be afraid to be yourself, because everyone is new (pretty much) and this is the perfect place to get to know people and have them get to know you.

Girls -- stay up late and talk! It's the best! I know it sounds lame but last year some of the junior girls bonded so much just by staying up late and talking. Get to know each other... it'll be a good time, no worries.

Bring tons of food, and party with it. Obviously, do not bring dip, unless if you're bringing chips. However, you can bring chips and not bring dip. Bring **RED BULL**. It'll get the party started. Sing every song and do every game with full heart. It's the only way you're going to walk away from Camp Wing and think of it as an amazing experience. Don't worry about stupid stuff like what people are thinking about you or how you're looking or whatever. //Just have fun.// It's that simple. So **do it up!!**
 * If you go out on the paddle boats, RACE! It's amazing times (crashing them is always fun too!)

Anyways, yeah, for all you new folk who are reading this (probably around one), look forward to Camp Wing as a time to really make friends and get to know your grade, and some older folks too. If someone invites you to do something, don't sit out, even if you are afraid of looking stupid, or know that you'll look stupid.

Also, the counselors are not only your friends, but they are really chill. If you can talk to any adult, it's these guys. They are really funny and will level with you most of the time. Only swear if they swear, otherwise watch your mouth, and in general if you participate and don't be a total @$$, then you will be chill.

- Camp Wing for Freshmen:

Camp Wing is, in all honesty, as fun as it could possibly be for a bunch of ninth graders who barely know each other. There will be awkward moments where you dont know what to say. There might be some minor drama about room assignments and bunk mates, but if you find yourself in such a position, handle the situation with grace. Realize that you will undoubtedly get to talk to all of your classmates by the end of the experience, and you migh to end up happy that you did slept in the room you did.

Once the initial awkwardness wears off, Camp Wing is a lot of fun. The food is only tolerable, but you can bring your own (even if they tell you not to, no one really cares so long as you dont wave it the teachers faces and leave the wrappers everywhere). During the day, you do stuff with your advisory group, and then you have free time. At free time, try to socialize. You might be painfully shy, but sometimes that is misunderstood as painfully snobby. Also, don't be that kid who ignores his/her class to hangout with the sophomores because *Reminder:* You take nearly all of your classes with your grade, and you might be sad to realize that friendships have begun to form without you.

At night, there is a soph/frosh powwow of sorts (for girls) in the soph room featuring heaps candy and gossip. Some people people love it, some people hate it; If you find yourself overwhelmed/unable to breathe, you can just leave the room and ask someone to recap all the juicy gossip later. By no means will you be missing out. Also, there will probably be some confidentiality pact made, but I advise you against pouring your heart out, because girls are girls, and somehow the boys always seem to know all the dirt.

Also at night, someone (possibly you) will likely call a classmate in the opposite gender's cabin. This is good fun, but you might have the urge to say things that you would rather forget saying the next morning. So, have fun, but keep a level head and don't get TOO carried away.

In conclusion, have fun. Camp Wing is a great way to meet and make friends, but if it doesnt work out, remember that it's not the end of your social life at BUA.
