What I miss…
- Waking up and knowing I am in Californai, not everyone can do that and it feels great!
- Sleeping in a tent, I have not slept in tent I a few years and I actually miss it.
- Being in a forest, even though it was scary at night (mainly because I watch horror films) it was a magical place among the Redwoods.
- Being able to make a one match fire, I was the queen of fire making.
- That brings me onto the smell of camp fires, we would constantly smell of it and everytime I smell fire now I love it!
- People thinking your American until you speak and they are that shocked they didn’t actually understand what you were saying.
- Get freebies because they like your accent.
- Learning about nature and knowing more than the locals.
- Going to a real American family house, they are huge and so welcoming.
- Singing camp songs, when I’m sat at work on my own I still sit there singing songs which I’m surprised I still know the words to.
- Not worry why you look like I camp, wearing pyjamas is acceptable all day!
- Face painting!
- Complains about being cold one minute and then having a heat wave the next!
- The smells from the beach hike! There is just something the smell of the mountains on the way to the beach.
- Grilled cheese and tomato soup! This was the best day of each session!
- The day the campers leave, yes it was fun having them there but nothing beats the feeling of freedom for 3 days and not having to worry about anything.
- Being woke up because the hot sun is gleaming through the tent.
- Not showering for as many days as possible!
- Spigget showers.
- The friends I made!
