FAIRY FOREST FIELD TRIP

By Indira Olazabal and Nahomi Delgado Staff Reporters

Sierra Club Inner City Outings organized a camping trip for the ELD students on April 1st and 2nd in Portola State Park. It was free and a good experience. There were only 15 places, and they filled up fast. We arrived at Portola State park on April 1st at 8 o’clock and we left on April 2nd at 3 o’clock. During the camping, we hiked, and we cooked chili. We set up our tents. We made a bonfire. We sang in the night, and we shared scary stories around the bonfire. We saw the tallest trees in the world, and the forest had a beautiful view. Also, we saw a species of animals that only lives in this environment. Portola State Park looked like a fairy forest. Maritza is one of the ELD students that participated in the camping trip. She thinks that “It was a good experience and she loved to spend time with everyone on the trip and live in community helping each other.”

Going camping was a beautiful experience, and It was free so all the students were able to go camping and enjoyed it.Thank you to Gloria Chen, the leader from Inspiring Connections Outdoor, to Ms. Wenzel, Mr. Ortiz and all the other volunteers that made this trip possible. They gave a beautiful experience to the ELD students.
