Last month, our school organised a two-day camp in the mountains. At first, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go — I’m not a big fan of sleeping outside or cooking on a campfire, but my friends convinced me. We left early in the morning and took a coach to the national park. The weather was warm and sunny, and the views were incredible. After a short walk, we arrived at the campsite and started to put up our tents. My friend Sophie brought a small cooker, so we could make tea and warm up soup in the evening. The next day, we went on a hike with a local instructor. He taught us how to avoid dangerous plants and explained how to stay safe in the forest. He even showed us how to read a map and use a compass. I didn’t know I had this much ability to survive in nature! In the evening, we sat around the fire and listened to a story about a hiker who got lost but found his way using the stars. It was a bit scary but very interesting. Before going to bed, our teacher gave us a short lecture on respecting nature and keeping the area clean. I was really tired but very happy. The trip helped me realise that camping isn’t so bad — it’s actually fun if you’re well prepared. I’m glad I didn’t refuse to go.
