Every day during that special time from 3:30 to 5:00 every camper gets free time. Activity options include physical activites such as racquetball and fencing. One of the best parts of fencing is that you get to poke people with sticks. I, like many other people, find that extremely amusing.

And, of course, if you walk all the way down the main hall of the P.H.A.S.E. you get to the pool. The pool has different sections for different purposes. They have water basketball, swimming, and other watersports. It's easy to arrange a game of "Marco...Polo!" Or, you can just swim. But finally, what I think people enjoy most about the pool is the diving board. Not only is there a regular board that you could find at most pools, but it has a fantastic high-dive that creates a great adrenaline rush. With the high dive you can attempt a 360-degree turn (or 180, for that matter) or you can practice diving.

A personal favorite--and of a lot of other people too--is wallyball. Wallyball isn't just like volleyball--it is a different game with different rules that looks the same. For example, in volleyball, if the volleyball hits any wall it is declared an "out." In wallyball, (which is played in a racquetball court)the ball can hit any wall (except for the back wall on a serve). Okay, maybe a few of the same rules apply. And finally, the crowd drawn to watch the game includes many people, from counselors to students to people I don't even know. Many people enjoy the games, and clap and cheer for the team they want. Others, however, laugh whenever someone messes up or misses the ball. (Please don't follow the previous example, whereas it is extremely rude.) And, finally, during Tuesday's game a young individual by the name of Kiera Haley either thought that the game was extremely boring or that she hadn't managed to get enough sleep the night before, seeing as she fell asleep less than one foot from the wall. Some people just don't understand the fun in watching sports.

And, finally, there is more you can do than what the P.H.A.S.E. supplies. You can bring a deck of cards--play Fish or something. Bring cups (three or four matching cups) and try to get someone to teach you the game "cups." You can bring a book, or some money and buy some food. Remember that there is always something to do at the P.H.A.S.E., so you will never get bored.
