Anyone who went to junior camp will remember FOB, a bitter-sweet activity that occurs every day. It is respite for tribe leaders and campers alike. FOB, which stands for \u201cFlat on Bunk,\u201d is a great time to write letters or take a nap. Though, if your tribe leaders permit, FOB can be a big party. The snacks get passed around, campers yell and laugh and play silly games. FOB can be a very memorable time for junior campers. But once you graduate to teen camp, FOB is no longer a regular occurrence. One camper, Judy, said \u201cI miss having FOB.\u201d This Thursday at teen camp we had \u201cFOB Appreciation \"fob<\/a>Day,\u201d which means we get the FOB experience at teen camp. There was much excitement with campers running to the cabins and falling into their bunks. For many it was a flash back to junior camp and the FOB activities were the same. Jon, a teen camper, said \u201cI wrote postcards to family and friends.\u201d Another camper, Shaya, said, \u201cI practiced the memory verse and we had a cabin discussion.\u201d Because camp is such an exciting and fast-paced experience, having a time to rest is great.<\/p>\n

FOB is a tradition that the tribe leaders had as campers as well. Hoops, a teen camp leader, said \u201cWhen I was a camper I definitely didn\u2019t sleep. We played games from bunk to bunk and tried not to wake the tribe leaders.\u201d FOB, though sometimes underrated, is an important time in camp when campers can relax and spend quality time with their tribe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
