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:
“What chiefly distinguishes the daily press of the United States from the press of all other countries is not its lack of truthfulness or even its lack of dignity and honor, for these deficiencies are common to the newspapers everywhere, but its incurable fear of ideas, its constant effort to evade the discussion of fundamentals by translating all issues into a few elemental fears, its incessant reduction of all reflection to mere emotion. It is, in the true sense, never well-informed.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
