sure they are in the right places so everything can fit.” “Sorry,”I said, “I just can’t wait.” My mom smiled. I just couldn’t stay still though. I was like a little kid on too much sugar! I have been waiting for this camping trip forever. It was also going to be my first camping trip so I didn’t really know what to expect. The part that most excited me was the part of sleeping in the tent. It would be a little different then my normal bed. It was also probably going to be are big last thing before

I was in the car, on my way to my first camping trip. It was 2013 and at the time, I was going into the 6th grade. I was not excited to camp out in the wild. I honestly did not even understand why we were camping, at that age, my thinking was “If we have a perfectly good house, why drive to the middle of nowhere to sleep in a tent outside surrounded by wilderness?”. I was slouched in my seat playing on my phone the entire drive there, and believe me, it was a long ride. The drive there took over

For years I've dreamed of loading a backpack and wandering off into the wilderness to experience nature for more than just a day hike followed by a night of car camping. An excessive number of hobbies won out and backpacking was kicked to the back burner. Until now!

In December, my first real backpacking pack was on its way, an Osprey Aura AG 50. Fast forward to the

It gets about halfway up your calf when it decides to do it terrible deed. Swiftly, it sinks its fan into your leg, you scream, yell and try to brush the animal but it's too late, you got bit.

Few things in my life can compare to the majesty I saw in that moment, the sun rising over the mountains, over all we had walked , my brothers around me asleep, the sun's rays shining upon the zion planto . and I knew, even for the briefest of moments what hope felt like. It all started 3 days ago. Me and my boy scout troop had been building up to this backpacking trip for 6 months at this point, many different backpacking trips had lead to this point as the difficulty of this hike was almost legendary

Most people have some sort of experience or memory that has had a profound impact on their life. A parent passed away, a competition was won, or an obstacle was faced. My most impactful experience is much simpler, yet just as important as these moments. Summer camp. I know, it does not sound like anything big, but my years at a small summer camp in Maine made me who I am today. Now, on the outside, Camp Bishopswood looks like any other religious camp on a lake. The beautiful view, the sounds

always goes on adventures every year. This year, and previous years, a large majority of my family goes camping. When we go camping, there are at least thirty-seven of us. Whenever we go camping, it is always very fun. We always do as many activities as possible, such as swimming, sports, making s'mores, and even hiking and going on trails.

The heat brings a welcome sense of peace. Whispers surround us, words of infinity and eternity dance around in our ears. The flames are like drugs to us.
