We went to the campground to pitch the tent. First Coach Wissam told us to use the poles carefully. We pitched the teacher’s tent. He picked kids to help him pitch the teacher’s tent. Then we went to pitch our own tents. After we went to the activity side to play catch the flag. 5A vs. 5D. 5A won on once and 5D won twice.

I felt the bus coming to a stop; I knew it was time to start camping for sure. (And boy was I relieved)I looked around and everyone had smiles on their faces. As soon as I got out of the bus I smelled the beautiful smell of the ACS campgrounds and I watched the trees swish. First things first, they asked us to sit on the ground in a semi-circle, but many people refused-I was not one of them. As I sat on the floor I felt to thorns going thru my skin, it wasn’t that painful, but It was painful .Finally Coach Wisam came and sat in the semi-circle and he told us the rules of the camping trip, when he made sure that he told us all of the rules, he started to teach us the real stuff-pitching the tents. Soon we all of us went off and we pitched our tents yes we pitched up our own tents. At night we had a big bond fire (It was kind of scary at first because it was windy.)After that we all went to our beds- or should I say our tents .It was bed time, no getting out of our tents, no visiting each other, but we got out of our tents any was. At midnight we all –well everyone on the side next to the fence- got out of our tents, sat on the rocks, and talked, loudly. Soon we heard footsteps we looked to the side and, BUSTED, we saw Miss Noshie walking towards us. We all ran to our tents and tried to sleep. A t three in the morning we opened the big zipper of our tent and we stared at the stars.

Why I didn’t go to Deir’al Oammar

I went to school to go to Deir’al Oammar. Then I didn’t go to the trip because I was really scared so I told my mom I don’t want to go to the trip. My mom said “ok you don’t want to go don’t go”. I didn’t go to the trip.  When I left the school with my mom we went to the café and saw Meera’s mom there and their friends too.

                                                What did I do when I didn’t go to the trip?

I went back home I watched TV.  At 1:00 I went to the dentist he cleaned my teeth it took like 1 hour.

Then I went to my grandmother’s house I did cake that was really nice.  I ate a piece of the cake then I went home to play with Tatiana. We went to pick my sister up from her friend’s birthday. When I came home Tatiana’s brother came to take her home.  When she left my sister and I went to see our dad.

The Camping Trip

When we got to the ACS camp grounds, it took a bit of time for us to settle in. We had a snack then a coach taught us how to set up our tents. When we were done, we played a small game of capture the flag. After everyone got a turn, we started searching for colored rocks. We rubbed the colored rocks against normal rocks, which created a powder. We added a bit of water to the powder which created a kind of paste that we rubbed onto our face. After that we had lunch and straight after we went on a hike. The hike was really long and tiring, but we did find many fossils. Later, we got back to the camp grounds and relaxed for a bit. One of the coaches asked us to watch the sunset. It was amazing. Soon we had an amazing barbeque, and after it we sat by the fire. After the fire we went straight to bed .My favorite par was after all the teachers fell asleep, because I went to all my friends’ tents and we started to tell scary stories and we had a lot of fun.

We went camping on Monday.  Sleeping was pretty hard judging that there were bugs everywhere and we were sleeping in a tent with 2 people (3 in all) and people getting up at 4 in the morning to “talk”. However, we managed. Day 2 in camping was not one of my greatest days. I fell about three times and scratched my knee.  We arrived at school at about 12 ‘o’ clock and dismissed at around 1 ‘o’ clock.
