On the 20th of March the whole school went for an adventure
camp. 8th grade went to Nainital. The day before, everyone planned everything
together.
We all were very excited as this was our first outing in the year. We
reached school at 4:30 am so that we could board the 6:15 am train to
Kathgodam. It was a 6 hour long journey. In the train we listened to music;
everyone was talking and singing, we were walking to each other’s seats and
played games.
I felt bad for the other passengers sitting in our compartment
though, as they were getting disturbed.
After reaching the station we had another 2 hour road journey to the
camp site. We were welcomed warmly and our cottages were amazing.
We did many
activities in those 4 days which included valley crossing, rock climbing,
mountain biking, rappelling and caving.
We also did at lot of trekking. The
weather was very cold and we had bonfires every night and the last night we
shared horror stories that left many of us trembling. I made some new friends
and became closer to the people I already knew. I also learned many things and
did some things for the first time. I simply loved it and I didn’t want to come
back home at all.
