Subject : Planning and Participating in Camping Trip
Dear Dexter,
You’re definitely in a pickle for agreeing to organise such a trip knowing your own
limitations. It is a good deed and the youngsters will enjoy such a trip. I’ll help you with the
planning and be on hand to iron out problems.
I’d suggest a three-day-two-night trip in Templar’s Park with some activities like - camping
orientation of dos and don’ts, trail walking, jungle tracking, fishing, but no swimming, hiking,
scavenger hunt and of course, campfire for both nights for a singalong. Hope they do not sound
mundane.
Let’s meet up for a face-to-face discussion.
