The Annual Camping Trip Many of my childhood memories are vague in my mind, but there is one that I will always remember, as well as always hold a special place in my heart. Every year my family would go camping up in the mountains for about three days. This one time stood out to me, and that was the summer of 2008, for I was old enough to appreciate the joys of camping, yet not too old to not feel the exhilaration of it. I was eight years old and ready for a good time with my brother, cousins, my parents and even our beloved dog Summer. We were camped in a secluded area near a lake, with no other campers to be seen. Every year we would camp in a different area then we did before. I was in love with the smell of camping, along with the …show more content…
This included a canoe, fishing poles, and even four-wheelers to drive around. The first day consisted of us getting our camper set up and all the four-wheelers off the trailer. When we finally had some free time to relax, we all sat around a fire and ate some s'mores. Much of my relatives are talented singers and guitar players, therefore our campfires also consist of the whole family singing along to classic rock songs. That night I did not get much sleep, for I was up late watching Spirit and Bambi on our little box TV in the camper. Along with that, I woke up way too early to watch the sunset and go canoeing with my mom. I always thought morning time in the mountains was the most beautiful time of all. The air was crisp, and you could hear all the different birds chirp that I usually don't hear back home. For breakfast that morning we fried up some bacon, eggs and brewed some coffee. There is nothing I loved more than having bacon and coffee to start my day off. While the parents cleaned up, us kids went down to the lake looking for crawdads underneath rocks. I was always afraid that the crawdads would pinch me, but that didn't stop me from trying to catch them. My brother and dad were always the best at catching the crawdads and when we caught enough, we would cook them up and eat them. That I wasn't too fond about either. That same day my cousin thought it'd be funny to allow a crawdad to pinch his ear, it ended up just being funny for us because that crawdad would not come off and he would not stop crying. The rest of day we went on four-wheeler rides through the mountains. That may have been my favorite thing to do, I was able to see new things and smell new, fresh scents. I went through completely forested areas, to wide open grassy slopes, and even rocky parts that are hard to maneuver. One these drives I saw all sorts of animals
Camping is a fun activity for friends and family, that’s the time where they share their memories, and also make new ones. On the other hand, camping is when people are trying to stay off the rain, and wild animals form attacking them. That’s when camping is a time their lives depends on it.

No electricity, water, sewer, permanent address and certainty. These are what the people in tent cities live through every day.

Imagine the biggest deer of our life walking in front of us. The thing is so big that at first glance you didn’t even think it was a deer. That is what the Zellmer deer camp is all about. The deer camp was started seven and a half decades ago by my grandfather’s grandfather.
My family and I were all headed down to a Mt Shasta campsite. We always went there in the summer with a close family friend.
Every single summer, the last two weeks of August; my family and I would go camping at Killbear Provincial Park. First time I went, I was 10 month old.

It was in July, and we wanted to go camping. I asked my dad if we could go up to our family's cabin in Elk Springs, which is near Montrose. He agreed, so Chase, Tyler and I, all sixteen years old, packed our stuff and were ready to go camping. With excitement, we jumped into Chase's truck, and took off to the woods.

I awoke to the sun piercing through the screen of my tent while stretching my arms out wide to nudge my friend Alicia to wake up. “Finally!” I said to Alicia, the countdown is over. As I unzip the screen door and we climb out of our tent, I’m embraced with the aroma of campfire burritos that Alicia’s mom Nancy was preparing for us on her gargantuan skillet. While we wait for our breakfast to be finished, me and Alicia, as we do every morning, head to the front convenient store for our morning french vanilla cappuccino. On our walk back to the campsite we always take a short stroll along the lake shore to admire the incandescent sun as it shines over the gleaming dark blue water. This has become a tradition that we do every morning together
One of the most enjoyable things in life are road trips, particularly to the Colorado mountains. Getting to spend time with your family and friends, while being in a beautiful place, is irreplaceable. The fifteen-hour road trip may feel never-ending, but gazing at the mountains from afar makes life’s problems seem a little smaller and causes worries to become a thing of the past. Coming in contact with nature, untouched, is a surreal experience. My family trip to the Colorado mountains last summer was inspiring.

Everything for a year had been leading up to this point and here I was in the middle of the happiest place on earth in tears because my friends had abandoned me in the middle of Disney on the senior trip.
Going on a road trip with my family means the world to me. We drove to another state during summer vacation, and it was by far the best road trip I have ever been on. My family and I were able to go to many fun places. We ate so many exotic and delicious foods as well. Yet most importantly, I spent time with my family and their friends. It was the day when my family and I went to California for our summer vacation.
I was so ecstatic to go on this field trip and so was everyone else. Of course I knew why, everyone loves field trips. Everyone that had seen the one man show reported that it was impeccable performance. Furthermore, I was adrenalized because I didn’t have to do any work. Before the show, all I thought was that it would be a normal bus ride. One that would be loud, but everyone minded their own business.
