Example of The Daily Schedule
The daily schedule varies from camp to camp, but they retain a similarity. An average camp's day goes something like this:
After wake-up, the camp comes together for a quick game or some easy exercises before getting dressed. Washing and bed-making follow while breakfast is being prepared. After breakfast comes a half-hour or so of singing, in which songs of many different languages are sung. "Putzpause" (a general cleaning period) follows, when the camp works together to put the house in order and to do the laundry and dishes. A twenty-minute language course is sometimes set between Putzpause and the first course hour. Between the first and the second course hours a snack will be provided and counsellors will have a short conference. Campers will choose between three or four different activities to attend for these course hours. Lunch follows the second course hour, and then a rest hour when the house is kept quiet, so that anyone who needs to sleep can do so. After rest hour the whole camp usually comes together for folkdancing, or some sort of outdoor game. A second snack is offered in the middle of the afternoon and a conference held to plan the following day. After dinner and dishes, there is an evening program, followed by showers, good night circle, and bedtime.

Famous quotes containing the word daily:
“We tend to be so bombarded with information, and we move so quickly, that there’s a tendency to treat everything on the surface level and process things quickly. This is antithetical to the kind of openness and perception you have to have to be receptive to poetry. ... poetry seems to exist in a parallel universe outside daily life in America.”
—Rita Dove (b. 1952)
