My First Rockstar Camp

I had a good time at the my first Rock Star Camp. I play guitar. I learned guitar at Hollywood Academy of Music. It was from 9:00 to 2:00 from Monday to Friday. We made a song and also worked on a song by Green Day called Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I played the bass for the song that we made and guitar for Boulevard of Broken Dreams. We later performed it on Sunday at the Music Institute. We also took a tour at the MI. It's for people who want to have a full time music career. You could play all kinds of instruments there. It was the greatest music school I have ever seen. I also loved the camp. Here is the song we made. It's called A Fire Inside. If you wanna hear a recording of it go to http://www.myspace.com/hollywoodacademyofmusic

My First BaseBall Camp

I spent last week at baseball camp in San Diego. I was so excited. We played a lot of games. I play every position. I stayed at a hotel called The Comfort Inn & Suites. My room was great. I had one roommate; He was my friend who took me to camp. His name is Bennett. I had a good time with him. He played in my baseball league. I had a great experience at the camp. In the morning I would wake up, take a shower, get dressed and go to the breakfast room. There was a lot of varieties for breakfast. They had cereal, waffles, hard boiled eggs, toast, bagel and cream cheese, chocolate chip muffins, danishes and etc.
Our Coaches were good. We had Lew who was on the NY Mets, Casey who was a pitcher in high school but played as an outfielder on the Colorado Rockies, 2 other coaches both named Joe.
When I came to camp everybody stretched for 40 minutes. After that we would play catch. Then we would do infield/outfield. I play everything. Mostly catcher.
We would also do pitching. I pitched really well. A lot of people at camp were so weird. For lunch we would eat subway. It was really good. After that we would stretch again and play a little catch. At the end we would go back to our hotel and have dinner. On Wednesday in the evening most of the overnight campers went to Seaworld. I did too. It was good. 8 people (including me) came. The coaches left us alone. 2 people split up with us and met us at the Shamu Show. The next day we went to a Padres game. The Padres won the Dodgers 4 to 1.
My favorite sport is baseball.
