Many kids go to day camp during the summer. They can have a lot of fun, but the schedule is almost the same. You start camp in the morning and go home in the afternoon. Sometimes, a bus takes you there or you might get a ride there. It might take you some time to like the place, the camp teacher, and the kids. But you go home every night, just like what you do during the school year.
Sleepaway camp makes you feel more excited because you’ll be there all day. It’s a kind of holiday, but without your parents. You’ll sleep in a dormitory (集体寝室) with other kids of the camp. You’ll eat together in a large dining hall and you’ll share the bathroom with other kids.
Some sleepaway camps are coed. That means there are both boys and girls at the camp. Some camps are just for girls or just for boys, but often these all-girl and all-boy camps meet up for dances and parties.

I like the film The Sound of Music. It took place in Austria in 1938. It was a story of Maria and the Von Trapp family. Maria helped look after the seven children. Their father George told Maria to make the children study hard. They had a good time every day. In the end, George fell in love with Maria and married her. I think the best part of the film is the song in the film. It is very beautiful and interesting.
