Camp experience

[freeasabird]

Hi everyone!


I just got back from camp with my school yesterday, and got a whole story to tell... I had a great time and the best thing is that I didn't have any bad emet moments! There was one night when someone who slept in our teepee felt sick to her stomach, and I was a little worried that she'd v**** while we were sleeping, but fortunately I was able to avoid her most of the day, and by the time we went to bed she was feeling better. The only other negative part was the food, I'm very picky about my eating habits, how much I eat, when I eat, what kinds of foods I eat, etc etc. I went kind of hungry most of the week because I didn't eat much, but otherwise I had fun and didn't really think about food.


The rest of the trip was amazing. I can't even explain the kinds of things we did. We climbed a mountain, (right to the very top!), went on a giant (and I mean GIANT) swing, went rock climbing, did a bunch of high-ropes activites (where you have to climb up poles and walk around on balance beams high in the air, scary!), played lots of games, met a couple new people... I was really worried about going, but I'm really glad I did. It was such a positive experience, I'm not sure if anyone here has been camping before? I was sure there'd be someone who'd v****, but instead I just had tons of fun, and didn't have to worry about my phobia too much. [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

I am loving the positive experiences I am hearing lately. I am so glad that you went and had a great time. It is too bad that you didn't get a lot to eat because of the EMET but hey you didn't let it ruin your trip more than that. YAY!!!


I hope that your story is a positive on for others to read so they are more confident about how the whole thing goes. I think that just keeping busy like you did helps tremendously. [img]smileys/smilies_39.gif[/img]

I'm glad you had such a great time that you forgot about your phobia! Its really great when that hapens I'm also a picky eater, well I ahve to eat when I feel like it, and i'm glad you survived as I would be quite scared about eating before an activity. I'm glad you had a great experiacne and maybe you could do it again, this time with no worries at all!

That all sounds so wonderful! I love the ropes courses they have at some camps. It sounds like you handled that situation with the sick girl really well. I can't wait until I get to go to camp!
