Yes, we are. Camping with the whole class from school. no idea how many kids. In the mountains. Not a camper here, at all. I have a theory. I don't go where the animals live. That is their home. I don't expect them to be happy if I come there. I expect them to be angry and come and bother me. I don't go in the ocean. That is where sharks live. That is their home. I look like a seal to them. They eat seals. Fair enough, they get hungry, I understand that. I live here. I appreciate if they don't come here. But if they come here they should expect me to bother them.
Two nights three days. Thank God there are little cabins. I assume there will be campfires with songs and smoke. I assume there will be nature hikes in the animal's homes and that the bugs, snakes and whatever other creatures will be mad that we are there. I expect camp food.
And no internet or cell service so if Michael comes out of the lake with that mask we are definitely screwed and I will probably just throw myself at him to get it over with because I HATE jump scares, surprises and suspense.
My daughter gets scared at night, IN.OUR.HOME. I am going to haul her weighted blanket up there for her and obv taking all her meds. I am in charge of a girl's cabin. What, what have I done??!!
No, No, No....not a superhero at ALL. Just know she can't go without me. I picture myself coming back with bites all over me, unkempt with dirt on my face, dragging her by one hand!
This from the woman that helps families all day long that deal with these issues! You are my hero, and yes, we will have fun, but I WILL NOT eat a worm. I will not.
I'm that girl that will run away screaming and crying. that'll be a nice look. I'll patrol the boys to make sure they don't wander over to the girls cabins - now that is something I'd be good at
No, no no..this is not good. I'm so stressed for you. Can you rent a sat phone please and write updates please, or type everything and then send when you hit an internet zone? Seriously, you will be fine, and you can totally handle Michael! Your kid is ADHD, and a teen at that. pssssshhh...MIchael's anger is childs play. Just tell him to put the hacket down and quit attention seeking.
P.S. I was a Girl Scout Troop Leader b/c I knew that was the only way she would not be kicked out. Wait, me, a GS troop leader?? I was kicked out of GS in 6th grade for cussing, do they have a record of that? I also had to be F'in Cookie mom...omg!!! The things we do for our kids.
I was right there with you when we signed my son up for cub scouts, but I actually look forward to camping now. There are tons of other kids for him to play with, and enough adults that can keep an eye on him (and don’t have a problem correcting his behavior). And as far as the animals, just make sure you’re not the first and not the last in the line and you’re fine. And bring bug spray 🦟!
Haha! Good luck! I love camping but I’m positive I would love it less if I were accompanied by my child and his whole class. Best wishes and definitely let us know how it goes!
