My First Camp Experience.

Hello readers, I hope we are all doing well, this is my first article here and I hope we all find it interesting and also educating. I want to share with us my first camp experience.

My first camp experience was very funny and interesting, it was organized by the Red Cross society of my school and I was a member, I was much younger then, my mum paid for the camp fee and I was very happy, a date was chosen for the journey, it was a Saturday and we all were excited because it was going to be our first camp experience for most of us.

We started the journey, it took us about one hour and thirty minutes to get to our destination, when we got there, we met some other people from other schools, and we were assigned to different rooms, which allowed us to make new friends. I made a lot of friends and I’m still friends with some of them till date.

Every morning, every one of us would come out of our different rooms for the daily exercise and workout sessions, after a while, those of us that were younger would be asked to rest while the older ones would continue, thereafter, we would go to have our bath, then we have breakfast.

After breakfast, we go to classes for seminars and training on how to give first aid and other relevant topics pertaining to the Red Cross society, after that, we go for lunch, then we observe our siesta, in the evenings, we would play outdoor games and have fun, then we eat dinner, after a while we go to sleep.

The camp was fun filled and educating too, Asides the seminars and trainings, I learnt some things like how to pick a crab without being hurt and also learnt how to ride a bicycle. The camp lasted for just seven days, when the camp was almost running to an end, I became sad because I was enjoying my stay, and I wished it could last for one more week but it had to end.

Events were organized for the last night of the camp, we were all excited because it promised to be fun, on that night, a camp fire was set and we all danced around it joyfully, then we were all served with chicken soup and chilled soda for refreshment.

We then proceeded to presentation of certificates and awards, I was awarded as the most attentive student while some of my friends received other awards too, all of was were presented with a certificate in “BASIC FIRST AID”. The night came to an end, the next day was the last day of the camp, we had breakfast, and thereafter a bus conveyed us to our various locations where our parents came to pick us.

I showed my mum my award and she was really proud of me. When we got home, I shared my experience with my family, we all laughed and they were proud of me.

That was my first experience at a camp, I hope we all enjoyed it. Stay tuned for my next article.
