Out camping for one night.
The most fun I had during the Summer Science Camp was going out camping for one night. Our staff members and group went hiking less than a week ago to a place called Bihmayook. It took us about two and a half hours to reach our destination, a seven mile trip. I think it took me and my friend Felicia a little longer because we were the last ones to arrive. The trip gave us all a break from our class work and our essay. When we arrived, we pitched a tent while the staff members started the camp fire. Although we didn’t have a cook but we had these 2 servings of food in a big bag. The staff members boiled the water in a pot with these little cooking stove’s poured it into our bag, waited 15 minutes and ate from the bag. I thought it tasted good because it almost tasted like someone cooked it. We even had hot chocolate to keep us warm. The weather there was cloudy, then rainy practically the whole night. When we were all around the camp fire we were talking, laughing, and just having a good time. The boys made a log bridge across the stream and crossed it without getting wet while some people were video recording. They saw a fish in the stream and tried to kill it with a spear. It was pretty cool. Unluckily they didn’t get it, though Daniel said that he hit it. The staff members said that we could stay out an hour longer than usual until midnight. They watched us and made sure we were all in our tent. My tent partner was Yvonne; she was making me laugh and we didn’t go bed until 2 a.m while everyone was sleeping. When we woke up we had breakfast around the camp fire . After breakfast we hiked back to camp, although some people didn’t walk back including me. We went back by boat and it only took us only 15 minutes to go back instead of two and a half hours. I think the boat ride was a lot of fun because we got wet using a small boat on big waves in the ocean. My face was the only part that got wet because I had on rain gear. When we got back to our camp I helped the cook because it was her 55th birthday. This was the best trip since I have been here.
