Camping Exprience

    Have you ever had an unforgettable experience? I think everyone has. I have. I went on a camping trip with all of the 8^th graders from my school. That was a great trip. We had a lot of fun. This is the first time I went on a camping trip with my schoolmates. I did not know a lot of things about camping. I think the camping trip is not just a chance to have fun, because I learned a lot of things from the camping trip. For example, I learned how to set up a tent, how to hike correctly and how to make an ant catcher.

    
     When we arrived there, we needed to set up our tent. However I knew nothing about that. I did not know how to strike the nails for the ground pad. I did not know how to use the stick which should be the tent’s strut. The classmates who slept in the same tent with me were Gene and Victor, so Victor taught me everything about the tent. I think that will be useful for me. When we set our tent, we discovered there were a lot of ants around our tent. Victor Gong said he wanted to make an ants catcher for us, he thinks that will be useful. Then I saw he make a cave first then put some cookies and water in the cave. That is very easy to make, but I think that is really useful.  

I went to many camping trips for take photograph of nature with my photography teammates. However, we have some Jeep cars, so we slept in car. So, I think the skills are new and useful experiences for me.

     There were two rainy day when during our camping trip. The first rain let a lot of tent got wed, so some students slept in the restroom. When the first time I heart that, I think that’s funny. However, later I think that is a very good idea, restroom was very warm, and it was very clean. So, after the thing, I think sometimes we should change our mind a little bit, we may choose a different way. Maybe that’s batter and more useful!

     We hiked beside a river. The small road was very difficult to walk. I did not bring a pair hiking shoes. I just wearied my basketball shoes for hiking, so I always slipped. Mrs. Vail told me that if I tie some rind of tree under my shoes they will get batter. Then I tried it, it was really useful. I am very happy to learn the smart skill. However I still do not know why it worked. Anyway, I had a lot of fun and I learned a lot of skills from the camping. I will remember it forever.
