At Cispus my grade and I would go on hikes, it was for all the 6th graders in my school and my grade went on a couple of hikes like we hiked to Angel falls which was very steep and was kind of long and some went on a hike to a pond and others like my group and I went to Yellow Jacket Creek. We also split up into groups and we name our groups my group was called the Tree hugging mountain slugs. We had contests but the most fun is we had to put on a play and porform it on a stage. We also had to do something called the challenge course and it tought us to trust the people in our groups. There was also where we had breakfast, lunch and dinner and we would sit at a bunch of different tables with our groups and eat and we would earn beads for every good thing we would do and if we had manners at the tables where we ate. We would have cabins and there would be 2 big ones for the girls and 2 big ones for the boy and the counslers would get there own room in each cabin and they would be in charge. The teachers would get there own cabins so they would not have to be with the kids and there were showers and you were assigned to a cabin you could not pick which one you wanted to be in.

My cispus experience was GREAT. My favorite part of cispus was probably the campfire when everyone put on a skit. Another activity that i liked at Cispus was the angel falls hike. i liked it because at the end of the hike we all got to hang out on a bunch of logs and that was a lot of fun!   those are some reasons why i thought i had a good Cispus experience!

I had a great time at Cispus! It was really fun. I loved doing all the activities with all my friends.I loved learning how to do archery.I am not that good at it but,I am good for a starter.The bunks were the funnest. We had so much fun in our bunks. With all our counslers and most of my friends.Wish i could do it again!

Cispus was really fun. My faviroute things to do were archery, and the Angel falls hike we got to go on the blind trail it was pretty cool.Also another activity that we did that was really fun and funny was the SKITS.

      Cispus was a place that 6th grader's a fun time learning.And get godd grade's having a blast.and we also went on long and fun hikes.Like angel fallsor to a creek called yellow jacket creek or to a beautifull pond.And the coolest hike was to mount saint hellens when we walked up stairs on this hill next to mount saint hellens called windy ridge.And we also did fun thing's like archery or a awsome challeng cource that so much fun.And we also get bead's if we earn them or do some thing good and nice.And we stayed the night there for 4 day's.The thing i liked was there awsome great food like breakfast lunch or dinner and we couled some times stay up late.And we also learned about how mount saint hellens erupteda.And we had lots of funplaying with our teacher and counciler's.And may be you couled go were we went some day.

              thank you for reading mathew's blog.

Hi my name is Adrian and i am about to tell you some things that i thought was cool about Cispus . On the frist night it was really crazy becuase every one was trying to get all of their stuff but it was fun. After that we had to go to our frist activite wich was challenge course it was my favorite . the bunks were really fun becuase all of my frends were in the same one as me.The hikes that we went on were fun. On the Mt. St Helens we climbed 437 stairs up and down that is a lot of stairs at the  end of the hike every that i know their leds were shaking. on the second  day we got to practice are skits that we got to do at the bonfire on the last night it was a lot of fun i wish i could go back   see you in my next  blogs  bey

My faveorite part of cispus was the cabbins because it was like a big sleepover with all your friends.The chalenge course was awsome it was hard and fun if you go you will love it too.

cispus is a very fun camp! Where you do archary, which is shooting boes and arrows. You go on lots of hikes like the pond hike, the spirit lake hike, the angle falls hike and the mount st. helens stairs hike, some of them are prettym long but it is really fun.. beware you might get blisters!!!We get to do skits where you act out parts! We get to sing songs, and do some dances with them! You get to do compatitonsand lots more things to do!!! the girls and the boys get split up in two cabins. Each of us get put in a group and your with them the whole time! So i have lots to say but i dont want to say too much so i think cispus was really fun!!!!

At the begining of the school year the 6th graders went to Camp Cispus. When we were at Cispus we went to Mt. St. Helens for a day and did archery, the challenge which was really fun, pond hike which was interesting and more. When we accomplished stuff we got a beads. At Cispus my faverite things were archery because I got the highest score in the school (73) and the challenge course which I loved because it was really fun. My favorite hike was the spirit lake hike which was very cool because there is so many logs there that you could walk ont pretty far without geting wet.The food there was really good especially the rolls. The only boring part was the 4 hour long bus ride but it was worth it. If you have never been to Camp Cispus I would highly recomend it. By Dominic

         Cispus is one of the things that I will never forget.Cispus changed what I do at school, I have new friends and more people I can look up too.One of my faverit things I did at cispus was archery because it gave me a challange,I've never shot that kind of bow befor.My other faverit thing that I did at cispus was the bead cerimony because, everyone was together and we got to earn beads that represent somthing we did well at ,or helped someone, or something.

              Cispus was so much fun!! The bus ride was about 4 hours and you only got abot 2 stops, but I had fun talking to my friends on the way there. As soon as you arrived you had an hour to unpack your bags, make your bed, and relax. Then you get together with your counselor and do whatever activitiy you had planned to do. Me and my group went on the Angel Falls Hike first. It was lots of fun! It took about a half an hour to get to Curtain Falls. It's called Curtain Falls because the waterfall is like a curtain because you stand behind it. It wish I had my disposable camera with me! Then it was the hard part. Half of the rest of the hike was either really steep uphill or really steep downhill. When you got there, it was just a trickle, but it was beautiful. Then we had dinner and did the evening activities and went to bed. the other activities I did were the Pond Hike, where we went on a short 30 minute hike, Challenge Course, where we worked together to solve problems, and we ended up balancing on a log in the air, swinging on a rope to a platform, holding on to a rope while tightrope walking between trees, being lifted up on to a platform 10 feet in the air, and climbing on a giant "spiderweb" over a river. We also went on a Mt. St. Helens Hike. It took about an hour and a half drive with one stop at Windy Ridge forlunch. I'll never forget climbing over 450 stairs to the top to see a spectacular view of Mt. St. Helens and Spirit Lake and then having to step all the way down again. When we finally got there, we took a 45 minute steep downhill hike to arrive at Spirit Lake. the whole lake was covered with logs from the Mt. St. Helens eruption that happened 29 years ago. Everyone had lots of fun hopping on the logs. 

                                                                     I will never forget Cispus.      I Cispus!!

I loved cispus! My group was awesome!!! The one thing i didnt like was the long hikes. they were BAD! I thought the food was excilent! Our skit was funny, i didnt think anyone would laught but....they sure did! haaha. welll thats all i have to sayy, buh bye!

I liked cispus. I didn't really like the hike but they were kind of fun. I brought the wrong kind of shoes for hikng. The food was good exccept for one day when we had this brown stew stuff. At first the bunks smelt weird  but it got better. my favorite activitey was archrey and the chanllenge course. I also liked the skitt night and the game that the counslers played with the teacher but Mr. Gonzalez was to smart for it.(lol)

I like hanging out with all my friends and getting to know them better.  I also like doing all of the activities.  The Challenge course was definately my favorite because there where so many things to climb and swing from. 

Cispus was ok the part did not like was falling into the lake. It was bad, really bad. i liked waking my friends.After i got out of the water i had to clime up the mounten!! it was the most dumest thing ever ever. But it was fun for me.

Cispus is a four day camp that CMS takes their 6th graders on every year!   I loved Archery and the challange course! My least favorite was Mt. Saint helens hike! The Mt. Saint Helens hike was hard because coming back from spirit lake was up hill! We also did not get to have stew for lunch that day ! The reasons I liked Archery were I got to learn a new skill I hit the target and I did not hurt after it was over. The reasons I liked the Challange course were I got off ground and Mr. Meacham tought it to u my group.  My favorite food we ate was turkey and mashed potatos and ham with cheesy potatos. I loved doing the skits also. Our skit was called 7 up I was a mom. I am glade my school is able to vist places like cispus and be able to see what nature is like. We had limited shower time and getting ready time so we couldnt be divas for a week but I was a huge one we I got home!! I can not wait till I am old enough to be a high school cispus counsler!!

I  CISPUS

I stayed at home! I had the flu and if i came you guys, you would all be contaminated all over! Well your asking "what did your POSSIBLY do there?" well i played a TON of games (it was well worth it for missing cispus and coughing on all of my 4 cats) and i also had to do a somwhat 8 page booklet of things that i had to do beacuse of missing cispus, there was a seprate packet with multipulacation and i groaned as i stared at it. Also i did some reading too (you DEFENITLY can NOT miss out on reading) and when i thought i was done i still had to do a poster of Mt. St. Helens and a little report about a places history and its geographical features (i spell geographical by my own lets hope i spelled it right >.<) and it was WENSDAY! So i told my dad i would work all day to get it finished and lukily i finished it by thursday! What a relif! Well that about covers it, see ya' next assinment!

                  I went to cispus of the september 10 through 14 of 2009. Yes i liked it it was fun exept for the hikes, the hikes were 4 miles and 2 miles it was hard

                     i thought i was going t o puke my guts out and i didnt have water  becuase on the way there it rolled some where on the bus and someone through it away.

              the food was alright, i liked cleaning up in the cafitiera, but it was a rush i still liked it so i have no regrets at all going to cispus.

   I  Cispus!!!!

     I LOVED the challenge course! I had lots of fun being with my friends. I missed MY bed though. Plastic beds hurt. I liked getting beads ( I got 17!!!! ) . It was a blast. The food was AWESOME! Cispus was a gr8 outdoor experience and i can't wait for ODDESY=http://!!!! If it's like Cispus, lets go NOW=http://!

To all that don`t know what Cispus is i will fill you in! It is a camp where we stay in a cabin for a week and study MT. ST. Helens, we also visit the Mountain. There is a lot that we do like go on hikes, go to a challenge coarse, and hang out!I liked Cispus! I loved going to Mt. St. Helens and having lunch there! My favorite part of Cispus was going on the scavenger hunt and hanging out was a close second!The challenge coarse was also very fun! My counslor was very cool her name is lisa!

I went to Cispus this past September, it was a blast! i had a great experience working with school mates i didnt really know. The hikes were tiring but fun. I liked walking next to my friends. Cispus helped me learn alot of things like about, Mount Saint Hellans and teamwork. Cispus was a great learning experiance.

Cispis was so wakey.The hikes were so hard make sure you bring water=http://!!   I loved the scits that every one hade to do. The games we did were so cool. The last day was awsome we got to rap the concelers in toilet papper.There going to be in the year book.

I always enjoy spending time with 6th graders at camp Cispus because it's so much fun! I've taken groups into the challenge course and have always loved seeing how groups deal with all the different challenges. Lately I've been taking groups on the ponds hike and either looking for insects at the YellowJacket pond or the YellowJacket Creek. We find different insects at each location and that is always a joy. When we're lucky and the roads allow us, and the weather is nice like this year, going to Windy Ridge, Meta Lake, and hiking down and back up to Spirit Lake at Mt. Saint Helens is just awesome! Check out these pictures.
