Gone Camping

 

Right after school got out, my family and I tried to go down to our camp but we ended up waiting for a week. After a week passed, we gathered up our camping stuff and went to camp. We stayed there for three days, then we went home to get more grub. We had to wait for my dad to come back from commercial fishing before we went back down to camp. While we were waiting, I got into trouble and had to do some community service for the MFP.

After commercial fishing was over, we finally went down to camp and stayed there for two days. We kept on going back and forth from camp to Marshall. I wanted to stay up here in Marshall because camp was boring. My mom said it was okay, but in order for me to stay here in Marshall, I had to stay at my auntie Linda's. Instead, I stayed at my own house. While I was here, I hung out with my friends, baby sat for my aunties, went on boat rides and helped my gram cut fish. I also went over to the sandbar a couple of times to swim with the other kids. During the night, I was being mischief.

Once this summer I went to St. Mary's to visit. I stayed down there for three days. Not too long after that my parents moved back to Marshall from camp because they couldn't trust me being alone.

In July, I went to Russian Orthodox Youth camp down at Achuelenguq, and ended up having lots of fun there. Once during church services when Father Stan's wife Matuska Anna looked up at a spruce tree, she thought the branches were shaped like an Orthodox cross. I told Father Stan and he took pictures of it. While at camp, Father Stan and Nick Isaac told us stories about how to survive in the wilderness. We also had church services, religion classes and went on nature walks.

I also went to Pilot Station for fiddling and stayed there for two days. I mostly hung out at the Dome which is the teen center at Pilot.

It was a fun summer for me!
