Be yourself and be friendly! A good way to start a conversation with someone is by giving them a compliment. Don't be afraid to talk to people because a lot of the other girls are probably a little nervous too! The 5 hour bus ride is a good time to really get to know the girls around you. By the time the bus ride is over you'll most likely know a few girls pretty well just by talking to them about things like hobbies and school. As for fitting in with the older girls just be nice! You probably wont't be bffs with a 12th grader but be yourself around them and you can still be on friendly terms with the older girls. Don't try to act older just to get older girls to like you because they probably won't fall for it and it will make you look immature. If you just be yourself and are kind to everyone you'll definitely make some good friends. Have fun!

Well the number 1 most important thing is to be yourself an don't try to be somebody your not.. But you should talk to people be nice and kind and don't be somebody your not and if yourself you can meet a friend that you could be friends with for along time or maybe forever hope this helps and have a great time on your trip and make lot of friends (:

Chances are none of these girls all know one another. You are not odd or weird, You are just another one of them.
The best way to make friends is to talk to people. At a 5 hour bus ride I'm pretty sure someone would love a conversation. You could start off introducing yourself and talk about how you are looking forward to camp. Talk to them about hobbies, music etc.
Maybe you could bring a puzzle book and find someone who will be willing to play with you. Mad libs is a great one to play.

It's just like all the other friend's you've ever met, You just need to break the ice.

I've been to tons of camps in my lifetime, and in my experience, it's always really easy to make friends. All the first timers are really nervous to fit in, and all the older girls are really nice to the younger ones. You could bring a group game you can still play on the bus, like trivia, and make sure to sit by other people, not just by yourself. DON'T bring a book—that'll tempt you to just sit back and read—and sit on the aisle seat so you can talk to people. To be honest, you don't need to change yourself to fit in with the older girls—theyre usually very accepting, and I know I'm willing to be friends with younger girls. Just don't act like they're the only ones there—there'll be plenty of people to make friends with that are your own age, and it's more likely you'll have stuff in common with them. As for being yourself and still making friends, all you have to do is be outgoing, make jokes, laugh, and share your snacks (which are a great idea to bring, BTW, potato chips are a good idea).
Have fun!
