One day, all 100 6th graders all crammed into 3 buses and set off to camp. You see, this would have been a good thing IF there wasn’t a hurricane going straight for our destination.

When we got there, surprise, surprise!! It was raining. Hard. So we all went to our cabins and got settled.Then, we went to lunch, which was a strange concoction of cheese, bread and meat. We attempted to enjoy some activities outside and swim in the freezing pool, but our plan failed. After a long dreary and extremely wet day, everyone ate a dinner consisting of slimy noodles and a questionable sauce, and went to bed. 

The next morning the lake expanded from the rain, and it was STILL RAINING. For breakfast, we “enjoyed” ham that was similar to cardboard. When we finally finished a lecture on forest ecology, it stopped raining. Everyone was sent off onto a lake with four people, a canoe and little to no instructions. Thankfully my dad had sent me on canoeing adventures before, so I already knew how to properly steer the boat. Another activity we participated in was a zip line that went over a lake which I have to admit was pretty cool. After a meal of cold Mac and cheese, everyone went to bed. 

All in all, this camping trip was hysterically, hilariously not what I expected. I do think that this whole experience could have been better if they had just decided to reschedule it. Even though the zip line was fun and canoeing could be considered fun, I will need some convincing to do it a second time.
