Arriving at
Camp
Did you see that sign, kids? Summer Fun Ranch Camp is only 5 km away.
You’ll have fun.
Yeah, but what if it isn’t fun? What if we don’t like camp?
06 Arriving at Camp
You’ll swim, play sports, hike, and ride horses!
Oh, you’ll have a wonderful time.
But, there are no computers and no video games at camp. We’re going to be there for three whole weeks! That’s a long time.
You can have fun without video games. When I was your age . . . Without a computer, I can’t talk with any of my friends.
They have fun plans this summer. I’ll miss them.

This place is huge!
Look! They’re playing games. I don’t know about this.
Hi, there! Welcome to Summer Fun Ranch Camp. Please drive to the mess hall.
“Mess hall?” I don’t want to go to a messy hall.
That’s the name of the dining room at camp. 08 Arriving at Camp
Why do people call it a mess hall? It doesn’t look messy.
Hello. I’m Head Camper Patrick. Are you Jack and Bella Wilkins?
Just wait until the food comes out.
Yes.
It’s nice to meet you. Jack, you’re in Otter Cabin. Bella, you’re in Daisy Cabin.
