Do you guys have any tips for a camping school field trip?

Posted: June 14th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Tips | Tags: , , , , | 2 Comments »

Soon I am going camping as a field trip for 3 days as a young teenager. Do any of you have tips for having a great time? There are rules, like no electronics except a camera and no chewing gum and it is an extended school day so we are getting graded. So PLEASE nothing stupid because that can lower my grades.

    Speaking as an adult, and an outdoor lover, and a relatively experienced camper…I think I can give you pretty good advice. Trouble is I will sound like such an old fart saying it.

    Follow directions.
    Take what is on the list, no more no less.
    Be positive if the weather gets icky.
    Going to the bathroom in the woods isn’t as easy as using a toilet but it isn’t hard, and it isn’t nasty.
    Keep your feet and your hands clean.
    Tell your group leader if you get any cuts scrapes or hot spots (beginnings of blisters) or actual blisters and keep them clean.
    Drink plenty of water and eat the food that is prepared for you. Don’t play in the fire.
    Wear a hat and sunscreen.
