A Camping Adventure
I met three young people, Jade, Seb, and Raphael, who completed an activity called Duke of Edinburgh's Award. They
had to walk, cycle or swim across the countryside and camp outside at night.
Jade. I went with some friends and we decided to go by bicycle. We took three days and two nights to finish. One
evening, I made soup for everyone. This was the first time I camped with people of my own age. So much fun! Oh, but
there was a thunderstorm on the last day! We didn't stay dry for long.
Seb. My team walked through the National Park. We had to cross a lake but some of us couldn't swim. So, we sailed
across. When we got to the other side, we camped in a forest for a night. It's a place I know because I stayed there when
I was younger. You mustn't make fires there, so we had sandwiches for dinner. It rained at night, but we were dry in our
tents.
Raphael. We swam two kilometers and then we camp on an island for the night. Our clothes were wet, but we dried
them by the fire. I live in a city; this was the first time I slept outside - the stars were amazing! In the morning my friend
cooked fried eggs. Lovely!
