Not Back to School Camping Trip

A couple of days ago we went on a camping trip with a whole bunch of other homeschoolers besides me. It is called the not back to school camping trip because it was the week that school started. We went to Oxbow Park which was next to the Sandy River in the woods.

On our trip we found a bear footprint on the beach, we saw some deer, we learned of some plants we could eat like oxalic that tastes like sour apples.

There was a field next to our campsite that had lots of different animal poops in it such as deer, bear, rabbit and bird.

One of the kids brought walkie talkies which was fun to play with in the woods. We also played capture the flag in one of the fields. We had lots of campfires and made sun prints, pet rocks and god's eyes.

There were 34 people that came. We are going to do it again next year.
