My Camping Trip

   If we don’t have camping, we’ll never learn about how to live without our house! Many people have no chance to camping. Have you ever been camping? Do you like camping? The OVS administrators are going to cancel the camping trip, but I disagree with this decision because we should learn more things in camping trip. For example, I can learn how to river raft, how to cook, and how to take care myself.

  

  First, in our camping trip, I learn many things. I learn about how to river raft and how to work together. I carried the big boat with everyone and I became stronger because I know how to work with my teammate. River raft is really fun and sometimes are difficult, but even it’s difficult, we learn how to river raft from our teacher. Every time we finished the river raft, we always carried the big, heavy boat together with our teammate. We were excited and had a lot of fun on river rafting.

 

  Second, I learned how to cook. Mrs. Cassidy taught us how to make a cheesecake. Also, we learn how to get fire without lighter. After we make a fire, we all sit around the fire and hang out with teammates and teachers. We talk about our name in Korea, China, and Russia. We all enjoyed about the cooking.

 

  And the most important thing was I learned how to take care myself. I learned how to dig a hole so we can poop in the hole. And when we were hiking, we can take care of each other too. Everyone have their buddy in our camping trip, we can help our buddies to put on their big backpack or check the ticks for them. I am glad that I learned how to take care myself!

 

  In conclusion, I think we should not cancel the Spring Backpack Camping trip. There are too many things we can’t learn or experience without going camping by ourselves. For example, we cannot go swimming in a natural swimming pool in classroom. Also, natural is a kind of feeling, or it is a kind of sense, which means you can only feel it when you are there, so, I do not agree with the decision which is to cancel the Spring Backpack Camping Trip.
