Adam was dropped off for a camp, he did not know what it was about and how long he would be here but a camp was always fun. His parents did not offer much information only that they would be watching. The bus was now driving for a few hours and the driver said they were approaching the camp. The last camp he went to was three years ago. It was semi organized by the church, that meant there were no electronics allowed. But the games were fun, there was sailing, sports etc. he even learned to cook a bit. The country they were driving through had some mountains, hills, fields and rivers both small and large. He remembered they were dropped off by a gate, so that meant that this whole area was guarded by a fence.

The bus he was in seemed bit strange. They were assigned seats and each seat had a bit of cloth between them so talking was difficult. They were all kept busy singing songs so much chatting was out of the question.

They arrived at a couple of one floor buildings. He directly saw the canteen, where they would be sleeping and where the bathrooms were. They walked out off the bus and each got a sleeping bag with a number. This number would be corresponding with a spot to sleep he was assigned number 5. Adam walked to the building were they would be sleeping with his luggage and sleeping bag. He saw they would be sleeping in a large hall, they put down their stuff and walked out for the initial briefing.

He saw that the camp counselors all lined up and waited for them to return. It seemed they were talking before he came out but when he looked again they were silent.

“Welcome to camp Nysa.” A female counselor said. “We hope that you will have a good time here. I am Anna the head counselor. It is my job to tell you the basic rules and schedule of the day. A day is divided in segments, a segment for eating, activities etc. A bell will sound when it is time for the next segment. For now the first rule you will have to obey is: you have to follow our instructions. If you break the rules you will be punished. But for now, just have fun!”

After this each counselor introduced themselves Adam tried to pay attention to the names but could not remember them. The remainder of the day was taken up by dinner and exploring the surroundings. A campfire was set up where everybody talked for a bit but Adam was exhausted and went to bed early. Everybody was in bed within the next few minutes.
