My Camping Trip ​by Amy Klingensmith

Day 1​: We arrive at the campsite at 10:00 in the morning after a long bus trip. It takes around
10 hours to get here from our city. First, we check in at the campsite reception and then we
put up our tents. After that we are all hungry and have lunch. After that, we sleep for a while
and in the afternoon we explore the campsite. The facilities are good. There is a shop, a
kitchen and a dining room. Now, I’m writing these lines and after I’m having a shower before
dinner.

Day 2:

Day 3:

Day 4​: We wake up early. It’s our last day here and we have a long way back. I’m writing these
lines now because there is a long journey ahead. We are having breakfast and then we are
packing. It always takes me a long time to find all my stuff! Then we are taking the tents down
before putting them away. Finally we are putting everything into the back of the bus and going
back home.
