Rest in peace Leonard. Friendship bracelets would have be to my second favorite activity. Creating friendship bracelets brings out my creative side, and it also is just a relaxing activity to make bracelets at RISE. Acrylic color is my third favorite activity at RISE camp because I like to paint and color. I also like to create art after being inspired by my favorite subject in school: art class. When I do art and drawing, it makes me feel calm. Four square is my fourth favorite activity. I like to play this game outside, as it makes me feel energetic. I also like to do this outdoor activity during the summer, as the sunny and warm weather makes this game more fun to play. Capture the Flag is my fifth favorite activity at RISE. It is another energetic activity that is fun to do during camp, and I also have done this game many times. This activity also makes me sweaty and hot.
