The Controversy Over Night Camping

As adults, we spend a lot of time away from our family and friends due to work or other priorities in our life. We learn to adapt and keep going through these times of being away and this can make us a greater person. Summer sleep-away camp is much like a longer version of a sleepover and can be a great head start for children who may not be away from their family and friends much. This leads me to feel that summer sleep-away camps have positive effects on children and should even be considered important to the development of a child.

The article “Camping for Their Lives” is written by Scott Bransford. The main idea that he was trying to get across to his audience was that when people cannot make ends meet, one might end up in an undesirable living situation such as tent cities as referred to in the story. In the beginning of the story, a couple from California named Marie and Francisco were introduced. Unable to afford a mortgage or lease, they took upon themselves and found a piece of land located in downtown Fresno. They gathered materials and made a home to the best of their abilities. Marie acknowledged that the way they lived was unorthodox but she did not complain. She made it clear that she wanted an actual home with appliances but she was grateful for what she had. People are blaming the

There, youngsters of all ages learn how to identify edible plants from harmful mushrooms; how to classify animals from their tracks and skat; how to approach and treat goats, chickens and dogs; how to tend and harvest a garden; and how to forage for supplies sturdy enough for fort-building. Most importantly, they learn to say yes to each other in an open and accepting way. With open-ended activities, every camper’s approach to exploration, investigation and questioning is equally valued. They learn that there are no best ideas. They learn that the possibilities are endless.

I’ve been camping ever since I was two years old. Every year a group called the Arizona Rough Riders hosts an event called the Spook Rally which happens near Halloween. This year my parent’s friend’s son, Dylan, who I’ve grown up with, was going to be driving the Spook Jeep Run event with his friend. The Spook Jeep Run is a big event where people volunteer to make a spook house in the middle of the desert. There is usually five spook houses and each one gives you a clue sheet that leads you to the next house. Everyone gets a different number the week before the Spook Rally starts and the number tells you what time you’re going to be leaving to start the run. Before the run there is a meeting which tells you the rules and safe driving. The people at the meeting then received a packet which gives you the story. The story is used to help you figure out the answers to the first clue sheet that they give you at the starting line.

Upon reading the title to the reading “Camping for Their Lives” by Scott Bransford, A lot of images come to mind as they do for many people. Whether it be family outings, military experience or just plain adventure. Scott Bransford takes a good long look at camping in a different way. The author’s topic is about tent cities and their homeless populations. He argues the struggles that they have with little or no help from the government and highlights a location in Central Valley California. The author structures the article well starting off with an example of a married couple that does not have enough money to sign a lease or take out a mortgage. He then goes into the day to day life and difficulties that are accustomed with living as a homeless person. He mentions statistics and the government’s temporary remedies to deal with the homeless population and the complications when imposing restrictions. The author goes into depth about the lack of jobs within the areas but does not go deep into the addictions, the crime networks that operate out of the areas nor the filth associated with enabling these tent cities to pop up.

The growing homeless problem in the United States provides a problematic issue to resolve. In the article Camping for Their Lives by Scott Bransford, he explains to us what it’s like to be living in a tent city. The author discusses the circumstances of the makeshift homes that have increased in regularity on the Western Coast. He also relays the constant fear of government officials and lawlessness that comes along with living in these tent cities. The author’s thesis is that housing is no longer affordable in the United States. The homeless situation is a severe problem; however the author manipulates examples to portray a dire and unsolvable situation.

Camper A lives in a nuclear family with his two younger siblings. He is the oldest of his parent’s three children. His father leaves for work early in the morning and does not come home until later in the evening, so his mother serves as his primary care provider. She manages his diabetes from day to day, making sure he pre-boluses and eats the amount of carbohydrates he pre-bolused for. His mother still allows him to eat candy, but he prefers not to indulge in it. He believes that is her way of making him feel normal. He does not attend birthday parties without his mother and has never been on a play date since his diagnoses. He stated at one point in his life he use to see his grandmother a lot until he was diagnosed, and after, his mother

I always sleep on the same sticky and hot leather recliner at my grandparents. It is a reasonable place to sleep but a horrible place to wake up, so it does not seduce me to stay when the 4:30 A.M. alarm sounds. The aroma of steaming coffee fills the house as “the guys,” as my grandma calls us, file out of their rooms. We all ready ourselves for the morning's hunt by making sandwiches, eliminating scent by showering, and dressing ourselves in the only things that will protect us from the cold and the eyes of our prey. After all preparations are complete, I open the door to the still below freezing temperatures that saturate the early mornings. I can feel the dryness in my nose and can sense the morning dew laying rest on my skin. Loading the truck tests the limits of my cracking bare hands, which, on the drive, rest on the blazing hot vents that push air into the cab. The drive to the woods is relatively short, just long enough to strategize the day's hunt and chug down the rest of my sugar rich coffee. Arriving at the broken fence line that
