Camp Poem
Two weeks and a month, thats how long its
been The best week of my life about to begin The
world of engineering to us was unknown We knew
nothing therefore we had to be shown The camp
was the greatest, wish I could do it again But
someone else needs the guidance that I was
given Build Then Design that was the plan We
learned so much in that one week span Leaving the
camp with better understanding Of the Engineering
field which we will soon be expanding We learned
invaluable knowledge throughout the time that we
stayed But nothing can compare to the friends
that we made
