I went to camp Kangaroobie in year 5. Camp Kangaroobie was my favorite camp, it was just so much fun! Camp was honestly one of my favourite school experiences! I learnt so much at camp and experienced so many new things, which I never thought I would!
On the way to camp Kangaroobie we went to Mr Mcguane’s farm. The year 5 bus broke down so we came late. When we got there, we walked around this little river skipping rocks and getting stuck in the mud. When we arrived at camp, went to our cabins, and I was with, Emily, Felicia, Sarah, Grace and Klara, we packed our bag and went for a walk down to the beach! It was really fun because we went across rivers and walked through the sand dunes! When we got there, we jumped off and slid down the sand

We learnt a game called Gaga, we were in this circle box, we had a ball and we had to try to avoid it form touching us, when I did touch us we sat on the edge waiting for the next game! We were in groups and my group started with canoeing, the guy who was there said that there were bull sharks in the water, and that scared me so much because I’m so gullible. We were with partners and we lined up our canoes in the water, and I swapped with someone and ended up being with akolde who is very bad at steering because I was doing all the work. After that we went back to camp and we played the environmental game! We were put in groups, I was in the lowest group which meant anyone could catch me, the hunters could, the diseases and some other group. We had to walk around the forest trying to find stamps to stamp into our leaves, I was with a group wondering around, I managed to be one of the winners with like 10 other people. We came back to camp and did what I was most excited for, the obstacle course, we walked around looking at what we had to go through and then came back to the start to start! We had to go in pairs, and I was with Maja, we were and epic duo, that went through all the obstacles, we ended up second, but we should’ve come first because the group that came first skipped some obstacles. The last activity was the farm activity, we got to see some pigs, and after we went into a cage and went through the farm, looking and learning about cows. We later came back to camp and ate dinner. In the night Mr Mcguane went on a night walk and some people went, I went and Mr Mcguane told stories about pirates, UFOs, and drop
first day, when I saw that the counselor that I had been assigned to work with
When I turned around, I realized it was too late. I was alone, and I had to find my way back to camp in the wilderness. Of course, this is not the wilderness with trees and lakes. This is the Wilderness resort. When I was in fifth grade, my family, friends, and I went on a vacation. One night we went to the ball pit late at night and the pit was about to close. My friends went to the bathroom, claiming to come back for me. After five minutes, I discovered what was happening, they abandoned me. After searching for them, I decided to try and find my way back to my room alone. Being only ten years old, the hallways seemed to be never ending and I had no idea where to go. I sprinted through the hallways with adrenaline pumping throughout my body.
It was a bright sunny day and the lake looked like glass, perfect to go water skiing. My dad, brother, and I decided to go get the boat ready for our trip. We had to get the sunscreen, refreshments, and water skis. Once we all got in the boat, we had to untie the ropes that were tied to the boat and the dock and lead the boat out of the dock without it colliding into the dock..
Every single summer, the last two weeks of August; my family and I would go camping at Killbear Provincial Park. First time I went, I was 10 month old. I couldn’t talk yet and was just learning to crawl, but that didn’t stop my family from ending the tradition. I pretty much grew up there, all my favorite nature experiences are from camping there.
I don’t remember what day it was, but I do remember going to Band Camp early summer in 2016. I had just finished 6th grade. I was so excited for Band Camp. Everyone made it sound like so much fun. My aunt decided to take me because everyone else was busy. When we arrived, there were a lot of people in line. The line was almost going outside. There were two dorm buildings, one for girls and one for guys. I obviously went over to the girls one. My aunt and I got me signed in and I went a t-shirt, which I still have. We brought all my stuff up to my room and got everything set up. The first night went smoothly. We went over all the rules that night and I went to bed at 10:30. First night over with.
I got a Twix from that. So anyway there was ALP, Oceanography and March Madness. But the best part of the year was Science Camp. That’s right the all too well known science camp. The infamous Chapel Rock with the challenging, thrilling, and forty foot high rock wall and zipline, which I was the one with the honor of going on first, the steep, switch back full, falcon filled mountain which we hiked. We
The trip began when I took a small green pencil and signed by name on the release forms needed to hike in Yosemite National Park. I and nine of my friends left the ranger station that night with a neatly folded map and a felling of excitement to what lay ahead. The long drive to the park left us tired and in need of a good night’s sleep. We decided to stay in tent city like most hikers do before they set out for their trek. Tent city was a large subdivision of tents that resembled a community of houses. Each tent was perfectly uniformed in its appearance and made up a total of fifty tents. Before we went to bead, we studied our maps and made an itinerary to the amount of hiking we would do.
On that fateful day in March, I was a couple months shy of my third birthday. My family and I lived in New Mexico at the time and were renting a house with an outdoor in-ground pool. The day was beautiful. I was outside with my oldest sister Rachel and my father. Rachel was diligently reading curled up on a bench that sat against the house, and my father was mowing the backyard. My mother and my other sister were in the house. Off to one side of the house there was a group of large bushes. I was playing over there with one of her large cooking pots, off in my own little world. At one point while amusing and en...
The theme of the camp was “Set Apart”. Speaking for both me and my dad, it was a blast! I know that my favorite part of the trip was the worship sessions that we had in the mornings and evenings. The band, Unhindered, was absolutely amazing. My favorite song was called “I Am Not The Same” which was all about being a different person after you accept Christ into your life. The speaker, Jason Hayes, was also really good. We talked about responding to God’s call, our new identity after being saved, that we may still fall into
In the summer my dad said we were going to the carnival I was so excited, we went to get the tickets from the store. The next morning we were ready to go me my dad my sister and our cousin all went when we got there we gave the tickets to the women and she gave us a bracelet and we were good to go we took pitcher with the animal and the rides and id was so fun. First we went on the roller-coaster and it was scary and fun at the same time then we bought some snack and continue are advancer.
It was in July, and we wanted to go camping. I asked my dad if we could go up to our family's cabin in Elk Springs, which is near Montrose. He agreed, so Chase, Tyler and I, all sixteen years old, packed our stuff and were ready to go camping. With excitement, we jumped into Chase's truck, and took off to the woods.
I’m on a muddy, yellow bus coming back from camp. I'm twelve and so are you. Prior to leaving for camp, I had imagined it would be just me and three, maybe four, other boys that I hadn't met yet, running around all summer, getting ourselves into trouble. Playing games and just enjoying our summer. You know, typical boy stuff. Ultimately it ended up being me and this one girl. That's you. As long as we are still on the bus its like we are still at camp. Once we reach the pickup point where our parents would be waiting for us camp will be over.
I awoke to the sun piercing through the screen of my tent while stretching my arms out wide to nudge my friend Alicia to wake up. “Finally!” I said to Alicia, the countdown is over. As I unzip the screen door and we climb out of our tent, I’m embraced with the aroma of campfire burritos that Alicia’s mom Nancy was preparing for us on her humungous skillet. While we wait for our breakfast to be finished, me and Alicia, as we do every morning, head to the front convenient store for our morning french vanilla cappuccino. On our walk back to the campsite we always take a short stroll along the lake shore to admire the incandescent sun as it shines over the gleaming dark blue water. This has become a tradition that we do every
I don’t remember most of what we did, but I can see some random scenes in my head. I remember finding the lizards everywhere; in parks, streets and even in our hotel room. Probably it was one of the first times “from what I can remember” that I had a real interaction with some either wild or domesticated animals. I still remember some of the big open fields with hundreds of kangaroos, you can buy some food and you only have to step and closer a bit. Tens of kangaroos will come over to you to just to get some whatever is in your hand. It was a great experience to me especially that I was way smaller than the kangaroos. I felt that I was so small, even though kangaroos are cute, but their size in compare to me made them intimidating. I was a bit scared and happy at the same time because I’ve never ever thought that I will have the opportunity to do such thing like that. Maybe that 's why I 'm in love with the wildlife
My most memorable family vacation took place two years ago. We went to Corsica, a French island situated in the south of France right next to Italy. I remembered waking up early excited to visit this new land. Used to take long flights, I was surprised to arrive to the destination after a one-hour flight. Even though the flight was short for me, it was stressful for my mom, she has never felt secured in a plane, probably due to the fact that she is afraid of height. When finally arrived at the destination, the dry and warm weather was there to welcome us. We all felt relief, and knew that this was the beginning of the summer. Excited, we had a lot of activities planned for the few weeks, me and my father could not wait to dive in the clear
