August 7, 2018 (Day 7, Oregon Session 1 at Camp Latgawa) written by camper Raven The last day of camp. It always seems to come way too soon.

August 6, 2018 (Day 6, Oregon Session 1 at Camp Latgawa) written by camper Henry Today we threw one of the staff in the pool. Originally planned to be a prank, we chased him everywhere until he jumped in the pool himself. And then he got out of the pool and then he let us […]

August 5, 2018 (Day 5, Oregon Session 1 at Camp Latgawa) by camper Lena Mackay Ten minutes. It’s been ten minutes since I went all in, $750 with absolutely nothing in my hand. The player to my left folded immediately. The player to his left folded even faster. Now it’s just me and the dealer, […]
