Last Thursday the class of 2029 went to Camp Hanes. It was so much fun. On Thursday morning I woke up, grabbed my luggage and went to school. Around eight I loaded my bags on the bus and got on. The bus ride was around 2 hours. This trip was extra exciting because it was my first trip from Covid. I sat next to my friend Kendall and we ate chips. At first the bus ride felt like it was going by fast, but as we got closer and closer to camp the bus ride was becoming more and more slow. When we finally got there I grabbed my bags from the bus and lugged it to the gym. Then I went to a conference room and found out our cabin assignments. After finding out our cabin assignments I then grabbed our stuff and pulled it up a hill and into our cabin. When I got to the cabin I unpacked my bags and found my activity group. I was in group five and my group was hiking. 

Before the activities started we had lunch. My activity group did hiking first then we did archery then we did rock climbing. Hiking was my favorite activity because it was so much fun to use the ropes to get up the steep hills. Although. sometimes the hike was hard. The view was so worth it when we got to the top.

This trip was so amazing and i’m so grateful Durham Academy gave us the opportunity to go. Even though some of it was ruined because of the hurricane I still had a blast. This trip was an amazing bonding experience and I’m so glad I went.
