Camping Trip

Aaah~ There's nothing more delightful in this world, than spending a night in a cramped little tent, stock full with people who snore, a miniature hurricane raging outside, mosquitoes swarming in biblical proportions... In other words, I detest camping.

But other than the sleeping-in-a-tent-lack-of-decent-bathroom thing, it was a fairly decent trip. We went to Wolfe Island after canoeing for a morning (unfortunately, that was a rather disappointment. The second group in particularly only managed to canoe for half an hour, and we only did "water ballet") Walking to the ferry was torturous. The canoe site was all the way across town from the ferry, and imagine this: you're tired, you're likely wet, and you're a KM from your final destination. Not very nice.

But things brightened up (not literally) when we got to Wolfe Island. Although the weather progressed from bright and sunny into a state of hateful rain, we had a lot of fun. Not only did we get to see many interesting nature displays in a fascinating science teacher's classroom, but we participated in many group exercises. Probably one of the most hilarious exercises we did was a group charade; only the first person knew the answer, and it had to get down a line of six or seven people a via a "telephone" game. It was hilarious to see people try to mime out "pink" or "Elvis Presley" or "synchronized swimming", especially when they didn't know what they were miming out in the first place!

Later, we had a lovely dinner of hot-dogs (classic camp out food) and gathered around the campfire. Jenna got the privilege of teaching us all bout S'mores and how to make them. We had a delightful feast! Unfortunately, the weather took a turn for the worse, and although we managed to be dry through the campfire, we got relatively wet getting to our tents (rather far from the site, especially in pitch-black). The weather continued for the entire night, and I don't think a single one of us managed to sleep through the wind and rain!
