Personal Narrative: My Sixth Grade Trip To The Woodlands
My significant event is about my sixth grade trip to the Woodlands. It was right before the school day started, and the sky was blue and clear. After everyone was accounted for, it was a brief bus ride up the road to the Woodlands. Although I was nervous about going, that all went away because it was a beautiful day to bask in the woods, and socialize. The first day we were there, we were initiated, and we had to create woodsey nicknames for ourselves. We all hung out together outside the Mess Hall and enjoyed the sun.
We were only going to be there for four days and three nights, so I decided to make the most of my beautiful surroundings. Later, they showed us which cabins we would be staying in with three other people, and we would be
staying with others from our own school. There were two camps, one for girls, one for boys. The Trinidad School was there too. We would have to opportunity to get to know new kids, and the food there was incredible.
Over the next few days, we got to learn outdoors. We went on a hike on the Jughandle trail, and the ecological staircase. We went on hikes through the woods to a rushing waterfall, and I saw a hummingbird nest with an adolescent hummingbird. My group and I did the challenge course where we had to work as a team to make it through the obstacles.
One night, half the groups stayed in the Mess Hall, and the Naturalists told us stories. The other half went outside after dark and played games that required us to try and find each other. We also had to act out a skit with our cabin mates. One night we were there, we acted them out in front of everyone around the big campfire in the darkened woods. It was probably around eight or nine. And we learned songs and sang together.
That last night we were at the Woodlands, we stood in a big circle all together after dark, and a globe shaped candle was lit, and we we passed it around and spoke one thing. The next morning, we packed up, lastly we walked an outdoor labyrinth, and got handmade necklaces.
This trip helped me to associate better with other people and nature. I felt absolutely at home among the trees, and it was amazing to spend time there.
