Canada Day

 

It was a nice, cold, maple-syrup scented morning. July 1st, 2021 was Canada Day. Skidoo runs in, screaming “Happy Canada Day!” in her red Canada sweatshirt and sweatpants. We all immediately jumped up and screamed “Happy Canada Day!” to our favourite Canadian, Skidoo. Halie, Emma, Maya and I put on all our red clothes and got into the Canada Day spirit. We were the only tribe with Canada spirit! We all wrote Canada and drew maples leaves on our faces and hands with a red marker. The whole day we went by the “Tribe of Canada” instead of the tribe of Dan. As the day went by, we went around saying “Happy Canada day” to everyone. Later that day we played Canada trivia as an all-camp activity, led by Skidoo. Although we didn’t do very well, we had the best spirit and the funniest answers out of everyone. For example, one of the questions was “What day was Canada founded?” We answered “Wednesday.” We later realized that it was July 1st– silly us. The day was long so we had to keep rewriting “Canada” on our foreheads. When we tried to wash off the marker that night, it didn’t come off completely, so the next day we all looked extremely sunburnt. That’s all… for now. Happy Canada Day!
