OUTDOOR EXPLORATION CAMPING TRIP
OUTDOOR EXPLORATION CAMPING TRIP
It's a sunny morning when the participating Outdoor Exploration characters meet Mr. Thorn and Mr. Covington at the docks. They're packed and prepared for the two night trip to Wolf Island, as selected by Hazel Keating.
Ennis Harper coordinates a bon voyage! sendoff, getting as many students as they can to stand at the docks, wave handkerchiefs and throw confetti at the departing boats. We'll miss you so much! Don't forget us!
Upon arrival at the island, Dahlia Hale has the unfortunate luck of slipping as they get out of their canoe, and they fall into the water. Lachlan Galbraith came prepared, and kindly lends them their spare jacket for the trip.
The campground is on the lake shore, and all the tents circle where a large bonfire will be set up. The clear night promises excellent stargazing to all who are interested.
CAMPING RULES:
» DEPARTURE ON BOATS: Those leaving gather at the docks to boat out to the island. A number of students not leaving on the trip ham it up by standing on the docks and tearfully waving handkerchiefs at the campers as they boat away.
» SETTING UP CAMP: Everyone arrives at the camp site and begins setting things up. Remember: no wands! Henrietta Gray oversees the process.
» SWIMMING, FISHING & BOATING: The climbing temperatures means that it's perfect weather to jump in the lake! The water's still awfully chilly, but if you keep moving, it's not so bad. You can also take the boats out onto the water and do some fishing.
» CAMPFIRE & DINNER: Mr. Covington cooks up a hearty meal, and the campfire roars pleasantly as he shares with you some stories about his youth in Colorado. There's a little live music and dancing for those interested!
» NIGHTTIME: The sun has long since set and it's almost quiet time. Time for everyone to get some rest.
» RETURN HOME: Some of your friends may be waiting at the docks to greet you when you return Sunday morning.
» OOC - Questions, comments, concerns!

CAMPING RULES:
- Dress appropriately for the weather. Although it's getting warmer, you must bring a jacket, a change of clothes, and appropriate footwear. You will be left behind if you're not dressed properly.
- No large electronics of any kind. If you brought something he doesn't like, Thorn's confiscating it, no questions. The only exceptions are: flashlights, small music players with headphones, GPS devices, and cameras. And before you ask, no, portable video game systems are not allowed. Thorn says: "Come on, why sign up for a camping trip just to play on your little no-maj thingies? You can do that when we get back."
- Buddy system at all times. Do not go off on your own.
- Don't leave the trail.
- Respect your tent-mates. If Thorn suspects there's a problem, he's stepping in.
- Lights out is 10:00 PM. All students must be quiet with lights off after this hour.
- You must help carry the group's equipment.
- Clean up after yourself.
- All the rules that apply on campus apply here, kids! The only things you're escaping are your uniforms and classes.
- If you act up, you're being sent home early with Mr. Covington and will be banned from future OE trips.
- Thorn is serious about making sure you kids learn how to survive in the great outdoors without your wands, and therefore insists all the set up and take down be done without magic. He doesn't humor any arguments about wandless magic, either. "Those are the rules. Now get to it!"
HOW THIS WORKS
TENTS:
- Students will leave Friday morning to take boats out to Lone Wolf Island. They are permitted to skip class that day.
- Upon arrival, tents are set up. It's four people to a tent!
- No magic is allowed when working on setting up camp and survival skills.
- Although this is a single IC/OOC, the trip is lasting two nights.
- Students who don't have sleeping bags, pillows, boating or camping gear will be provided with school loaners.
