Camping

"Camping" by Alexandra Agusta Guttman Lockwine is a story from long ago that follows a boy's enthusiastic journey to summer camp, highlighting the fun and hurdles of nature. The story begins with a boy preparing for his summer camping trip, dreaming of fishing rods and canoes, but he must negotiate with his parents to get all he wants. The boy balances wanting to be free with his mother's need to protect him, feeling both excited and worried about going away from home. This sets the scene for classic camp excitement with outdoor adventures, building friendships, and growing as a person.
