6th Grade Fall Camping Trip

This was my third camping trip with OVS. All the sixth graders went to Montana de Oro, one of the California State Parks in the San Luis Obispo coast. I learned a lot of important things. Always be prepared for rain, organize equipment, and pay attention when the teacher is talking.
The first night was fun and awful. It was really windy. We had to move to another tent, because our tent got broken. We needed to go to the laundry place for drying clothing, shoes, and all the wet equipment. Sharon and I got to sleep in the van, because the other tents are full.


Jenny, Sharon, and I built a strong Mega-mid. Our backpacks were the one of the cleanest however; I left some of my stuff out of my backpack. My bowl and Spork got so muddy. I also lost my Spork, because I was not organized.


We went hiking on the third day. We hiked the tallest mountain at Montana de Oro. We could see everything on the top the mountain. I painted a part of my face yellow. On top of the mountain, there was a huge bee flying around us. It didn’t sting us. Finally, we went down the mountain. There was tons of poison oak on the trail, and it rained a little bit. I thought poison oak got on my rain jacket, but it didn’t.


I learned to put all my camping equipment into a backpack. The best part about the camping trip were the burritos! During the camping trip everything tasted delicious! Mrs. Usher said: we ear burritos during the back packing trip too. I'm so excited; I can't wait until the next camping trip! The sixth grade camping trip was totally awesome!!!
