Camping

Over summer I went with some friends to the Johnson Shut-ins in Missouri. It was the first time I went camping in years and it was one of the coolest trips I’ve ever been on. It started with the drive which was about two and a half hours through isolated roads which eventually got kind of creepy because we were in the middle of nowhere, every house had confederate flags posted, and we were running out of gas. We finally found the place and found our campground and we wanted to find out what the…

Plan and arrange a creative excursion on a bike Want truly to get off the trodden path? Employ a horse-packer to tow your things into the backcountry road. Does it sound unbelievable? It's not. Most of the US and Canadian states have hunting outfitters who utilize pack strings to arrive at far-away backcountry camps throughout the fall. Summer is the slow time, and some promote drop-camp services for the bikers, while new outfitters carry it out on request. As an additional benefit, the packers…

to a place that had provided me with good memories. But I knew that being a counsellor would be much different and more difficult. I would have to get along with lots of new co-workers, manage large groups of young campers, and learn how to teach camping and hiking skills, all on my own. Visions of potential disasters swept over my mind. Despite my fears, I knew at the same time that going to a new place far away could be life changing, that life is not about being sheltered and always…

My family loves to go camping in our camper. One summer we all came to a decision that it would be fun to try a new campsite; that we had never gone to before. After looking at different sites that are scattered around Iowa, my dad discovered one in the Des Moines area. When we arrived to the site, the campground was vast with trees surrounding the perimeter. The sound of people conversing filled the atmosphere, the birds sung in a high pitched whistle, and the sound of wind rustled within the…

best friends since they met at camp eleven years ago. Rania was one of their “friends” they met at camp the first year. The story took place on a cloudy evening. The senior campers were leaving for overnight camping on the second day of camp. They packed their large canoes full of camping gear and bug spray. Lots and lots of bug spray! They hopped in their canoes, and they paddled through the lake to a beach far away. They set up the picket tents and sleeping bags to stay the night. One of the…

Scott Bransford uses his piece “Camping for Their Lives” to discuss the growing number of ‘tent cities’, or small ramshackle communities of homeless people, in the western portion of America (McWhorter, 2015, 385). Bransford opens with a picture painted scene of Taco Flat, a tent city located near Fresno, and anecdotes from its residents to guide the audience into the reasons behind said cities. Bransford appears to subscribe to the quote from Larry Haynes found in the article that states: what…
