I went to 7th grade camping trip to Santa Cruz Island. This was my first camping with OVS. I was very excited to go camping. I was interested in hiking, kayaking, and helping the teachers.
We hiked for two days. The challenge of hiking was on Wednesday. It was raining, so it was very hard to walk or run. Also, the mud was very slippery and sticky. That’s the reason there was a challenge. I slipped three times and my shoe was covered with mud. So, it was hard to clean the rain gear and shoes. It was very fun.
We did kayaking on Tuesday (group one). We saw the seals during kayaking. They were at the rock in the cave. It was little bit hard to get to the caves and row the boat. I had a good time on the sea.
I helped the teachers when it was time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At that time, I helped finding foods inside the box, get water from the water fountain, and cooking foods. The teachers were proud of me for helping us and waking up early. So I got Smarties before bed time. So, I was happy.
Overall, I learned how to cook food when it’s time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, how to use the kayaks and row, and why we need or don’t need something (fleece, umbrella, and thermal). It was a good time on Santa Cruz Island.
