"Oscar's Camp Canyon Experience," in class. [Oscar's Camp Canyon Experience] Twelve-year-old Oscar has just finished a wonderful week at Camp Canyon. He had the time of his life--making new friends, developing new skills, and discovering a love for science among many other things. And Oscar learned an important lesson: Sometimes, when faced with a difficult situation, it's best just to let it go. He learned, too, that things are not always what they seem. Camp Canyon is a summer camp for boys and girls from eight to sixteen. In the U.S., there are many kinds of camps. Often, kids focus on particular skills or learn values from religious books and traditions. Camp Canyon, though, is different. Its main aim is for the kids to discover for themselves how to deal with difficult situations using ideas based on the importance of communication and mutual respect. During their week at the camp, the kids develop their powers of judgment and sense of right and wrong--all while having fun swimming, playing games, and doing hands-on science and nature projects. This was Oscar's second summer at Camp Canyon, and he enjoyed showing newcomers around. On the first day, he introduced himself to Dylan, a boy of his age attending the camp for the first time. Oscar spent a lot of time helping Dylan get used to his new circumstances, and they quickly became friends. The both enjoyed playing video games and climbing trees, and at the camp they discovered a shared love of Gaga Ball, a form of dodgeball. Oscar and Dylan played Gaga Ball until they were exhausted, throwing the ball at the other kids and screaming with laughter. Afterward, sitting on their bunk beds, they would talk for hours about their home and school lives, and how much they were enjoying Camp Canyon. One of the other campers was a boy named Cristopher. Initially, Christopher seemed like a well-behaved, fun-loving boy. Oscar couldn't wait to get to know him. However, it wasn't long before Christopher's behavior started to change. He didn't bother to make his bed. He left games and other belongings lying around on the floor. He was inconsiderate and self-centered. And he was mean, as Oscar and Dylan soon found out. "Dylan didn't brush his teeth. And he's smelly! He didn't take a shower today," shouted Christopher at breakfast, making sure all the other kids could hear.
