I can't believe that I have never been camping before. Actually, there is one time that I did go camping but it was so long ago. I can't even remember and I'm in fourth grade now.
My dad told me that but my mom loves camping and she has been camping before. She said, "If you really like nature, you should like camping." As I love nature (such as reptiles, mammals and other life forms), I should love camping.
Me and Cruz are starting to look forward to our trip. Well, it's not just us who are looking forward to it - most of the class are.
We're going camping because we have this project that is called the Adventure, Adventure, AAARRRGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! project. Whenever we go to a field trip/adventure, we write about it. Look through past entries on this blog to find more about our kayaking, rock climbing and going to High Tech High adventures.
Did you know that some people are a bit nervous, excited and both emotions about going camping. For example, my classmate Annia is feeling nervous because she has never been camping before.
SOme stuff for the adventure:
- some s'mores?
- some PJs under my normal day clothes,
- old (but in good condition) tents,
- bring a little bit of snacks,
- don't bring dresses and other stuff like that,
- bring something that everybody can put their trash in,
- don't bring a book unless you're going to be responsible for it, take good care of it, and if you lose it, it's your fault,
- when you're there in the camp, don't run like crazy.
Some Tips for the Field TRip/Adventure:
- Don't litter in the camp.
- If you want to look at the wildlife, go in a place where it is quiet in the camp grounds.
- If you don't want to look at wildlife and there is a person that does want to, don't disturb them.
- Don't leave food that is poisoned for animals on the ground.
- Don't climb on logs, rocks and stuff like that (especially on sharp rocks).
- Watch your step when you're walking or running down a hill.
- Don't walk barefoot (don't bring sandals).
- Listen at directions and don't lose the group.
- Listen really good when we're camping so we can have lots of fun.
