DLA Day Four! -- By Leon

Wednesday has been a great day for DLA! It started out ordinarily. People woke up at 7:15 a.m. and ate a delicious breakfast at 8:30 am. Then it’s off to the morning class! I’m sure everyone had a great class and learned so much. A gifted camp sure does expand a student’s brain! After the morning class, it’s lunch time. Some students are probably burnt out from 3 hours of out-of-the-box thinking, so everyone dove right into the hearty meal. After that, it’s time for the afternoon class. So students walked briskly to class, ready for another 3 hours of fun and knowledge. As soon as 4:15 p.m. arrived, people were ready for station time. This ended pretty early at around 5:00 p.m. as students have to engage in their LAC meetings. Dinner rolled around at 5:45 pm, and everyone ran to dinner. When dinner ended, campers were put into their groups for the Little/Big Tournament. DLA students were put in groups with Summerscape students. This brought on some discomfort, but after a few icebreakers, everyone started to feel more comfortable. I think this is a great opportunity for campers to meet new people, younger or older. After this, it’s Trivia time! House groups went head to head in different categories: Movies, ‘Merica, Animals, and everyone’s favorite, RA! Campers had a surprise when they heard Wayne, a previous RA at DLA, Skype in a bonus question. Soon after Trivia ended, everyone had free time, and then saw a great Nightly News! So, this ended July 17th at DLA. Campers went to sleep with dreams of what DLA holds for tomorrow.
