My Choice #1: Camping

Unfortunately I have never gotten the chance to take a long-distance hike, but I have gotten the chance to go camping. When I was in the seventh grade, my mom decided to send me to a camp called Adventure Links Camp. At first I didn't want to go because it was a camp I had never been to before and I wasn't sure how it go. As we got to the campsite, I saw a few other kids packing their things int a blue school bus. As I got checked in, I started talking to this girl named Morgan, and sure enough we became best friends. As the camp day started, we first learned how to set up our tents because this was what we would be sleeping in for a week. Once we did that we did a few icebreakers and got to know each other, and since there was only ten of us it was fairly easy. Next it was time to make dinner. I blame this camp for the reason that I hate powdered food. Everything that we had to eat was powdered because we didn't have enough room in the bus to bring any other kinds of food besides sandwiches. As the week went on we travelled from northern Virginia, to Pennsylvania, to West Virginia and back. The ten of us lived out of an old blue school bus along with three adult counselors that were there to take care of us. I learned a lot about myself at this camp and I also learned how grateful I am to have the things that I do.
