summer camp and air rifle

In the summer  holidays I have been doing summer camp (it's not a real camp because there is no staying overnight or tents). The camp I did this week was called Virtual Discoveries and they show you computer programs and how to use them. Phun and Sandbox are my favourites, Phun is where you create designs and machines in 2D and test them and Sandbox is where you create a virtual 3D world and test it out. I can't  download either onto the mac, which is a shame because I like them both and I want to play them at home. I thought the camp was really fun but it only lasted a week. 
There was another camp which wasn't quite as much fun as the computer camp, but still good. That camp was a gym and circus camp (which went for a week). We did lots of gym stuff, like climbing ropes and balancing, and juggling using scarves. There were also circus skills, such as miming. The best thing was the tumble track, which is a big long trampoline with no fence, it is used to do cart-wheels for beginners. I used the tumble track to run extra-fast and jump into the foam pit.
Today I used an air rifle in a firing range! I got 3/7 bullseyes  at 15 feet! It may sound bad but the gun is very heavy and shaky, Still, It was very fun! I did it at Fort Edmonton Park which is a replica of the first trading post for the indians to trade fur for pots and pans. The firing range was next to the penny arcade and was part of the recreation of 1905 Edmonton.
