our things in bags on our backs which was hard work but we never got bored because we

all chatted the whole time. We had a rock climbing lesson just before our picnic lunch
and later that afternoon we arrived at a lake where we camped for the night. Three of the
others tried to fish, without success! I helped build the fire instead. The teachers and two
of the older students made supper, then we sat in our blankets around the fire and sang
songs and made wishes in the dark.
We decided not to sleep inside the tents, but outdoors because we wanted to look at the
stars. Some of the boys made ‘bear’ noises trying to make us afraid, but we were still
laughing at midnight because we were having so much fun. I’ll never forget that day.
