EXERCISE
ART CAMP
“I’m worried about art camp. I won’t know anyone there,”
Brian said.
“Don’t worry about it,” his mom said. “You’ll see. It’ll be
fine.”
When Brian walked into the camp meeting room, he
swallowed hard. Most of the tables were full of kids talking
and laughing with each other. There was only one spot open,
and it was at a table way in the back.
There were three other kids at the table – Alex, Kenya,
and Mike. They all knew each other, but they were happy to
talk to Brian, too. Brian no longer felt nervous. By the time he
went home, he knew he had a new set of friends for the
summer.
