Camping

inside the classroom. They made an announcement and they had mentioned that all the 5th-grade classes are going on a trip and that was going camping at Peak. My body stood still for about a minute, I never went camping and I hate it. I kept always imagining that there are bugs in the cabin crawling onto the bed, bugs everywhere frightening me. I never went camping because it was far away from home. I look at the list that we need to bring on the trip, it felt that were are going to spend a lot…

Tent Footprint vs. Tarp – Care to Know Which Extra Works the Best? As a backpacker who usually flies solo, I don’t mind sleeping in a hammock or a tent. Both shelters are quite spacious for even a full-grown camper like me; that’s why either will work fantastically. The only situation that can rain on my parade is rain itself. I used to not own a weatherproofed marquee, so the water leaking from all sides worries me in every trip. Thus, even now that I have one, I prefer not to leave behind the…

Have you ever taken a camping trip when you were younger with your family or a group of friends? Well when I was about sixteen, I went on a canoeing trip to the Ichetucknee river with a BSA (boy scouts of America) crew. We had canoed the hole 12 miles which held an abundance of alluring sites to behold. There were manatees, turtles and tons of fish and much more to see. Once a year troop 123 goes on a canoeing trip to the Ichetucknee river which is a long all-day trip that is six miles long.…

I got invited to go on a camping trip with some friends in the Adirondack mountains, and being 16 years old, my parents thought I was old enough to go on this trip by myself. I was so excited! I was thinking of all the fun things I could do in a place that I’ve never been too; kayaking, swimming, fishing. I got invited in January and the trip was in September, so I had a lot of time to pack and get prepared. I was going to be there for ten days so I got a new camping grade backpack. Being the…

My friends and I have been having a hard week and we wanted to just relax so I suggested to them my lake house house. They wanted a little bit more rustic feel to camping but none of us really had any actual camping gear so we just opted for the lake house. We got all the essentials for the weekend: bug repellent, snacks, a radio, and a friendly little card game to take our minds off the world back at home. Everything was going smooth until it hit about six-ish, that’s when everything…

becomes a suffocating box as the canvas slowly collapses and sinks to the ground. Of course, prior preparation and remembering to bring along the poles can prevent this hardship, but valuable experiences arise when things do not go to plan. When I went camping on a remote island for a week, the enjoyment came from plunging myself into the vast unknown, with minimal preparation beforehand. I learned to…

quickly ran. It was the summer of 2010 and we went up camping at Nordhouse Dunes campground(Manistee National Forest). Its was a bright sunny Saturday morning. The smell of fresh bacon being cooked over a campfire with a nice glass of milk to drink. We had the whole day planned out for us. Eat breakfast, and go for a walk in the dunes. Then later that night we decided that we would make some s'mores once it gets dark. It was gonna be a normal camping trip, but the bear had other plans. The day…

visit the National parks, and monuments that cross our path, whenever my family goes on road trips. Do with the amount of traveling that we do, I have been to over forty of the fifty states and have visited national parks in the majority of them. Camping in the national parks is commonplace for us, to be able to get away from the bustle of the city, and settle down enjoying the open air and the stars over our heads.…

parks and camsites up to date by making sure everyone visiting also respect nature while at the same time enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. The reason I chose to research campground staff is because I thoroughly enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, and other summertime activities. Camping has always been a big part of my life whether it be with my friends or my family and I found…

Day 1: The Blake forest is une of the most beautiful things I've seen. My friends and I were camping for the winter break before entering college, we thought we were going to have fun but that was our mistake. It was night when the real hell began, we were all sitting around the campfire telling the typical horror stories that our parents told us when we hear a branch break. "Who's there?" I ask but nobody answered, suddenly saw a woman 25 years I started walking towards us, "Who are you?" I ask…
