                 My name is Kayla Sharon Porter. I am 13 years old. I have a twin brother name Kyle Steven Porter.( I'm older than him by a minute) We have the same initials. Isn't that cool! People say that we are so close but we have our moments.
                         I'm the type of person that likes to dance, act, and sing. In school I play the clarinet, alto saxophone, and piano. For fun I like to go outside. I also work at an organization called Publicolor. We go to schools and community centers around the city and transform the walls which were once plain and dull to bright and lively. It is a wonderful organization to be a part of.
 
 
 


 
 
             Memories
               My Camp Interactive experience was a great one for me. The things I  remember most about the trip was all the fun nights we had in the tents. Hearing the boys make their beats, jokes, and comments about the camp instructors. I think without the boys and their funny jokes, I would not be able to make it though the days of camp. It would have been very boring. Another thing I really remember about the trip is picking up the backpack for the first time. It was like picking up 4 bowling balls  and my T.V. I also remember the way we cleaned our plates, we had to lick them! I never actually thought that I would be licking my plate to clean it. After we licked our plates we would rinse them in the river or pond or to the nearest body of water, and if there wasn't water near by then we had to just stick with licking the plate or we just had to leave it dirty.
               Taking a bath in the same water we drank was kind of hard to get used to. We had to put 5 drops of iodine in the bottle then wait a half an hour in order to drink it. Its funny because when we got back into the city regular tap water tasted weird to us.

#5. True or False

    When hiking you have to hide the food bags in a bush near by so that critters can't get to it. 

Answers

#1. The answer is C. Hardly pack- Just a pair of pants a pair of shorts and two shirts will be fine

     Kayla's view: I did not know that we really did not have to pack I came with three bags when we only needed half a bag.

#2. The answer is B. 5 leave it in for 30 min

    Kayla's view: At first we refused to drink the water then we got used to it and when I got back in the city regular tap or bottled water tasted weird to me.

#3. The answer is A. Front, back, sweep, and pry

     Kayla's view: The strokes are very simple - well, to me at least

#4. The answer is False

     Kayla's view: You do not light a stove with the gas on. First you turn the gas on wait till it leaks. then you turn it of then light it then turn the gas back on and cook.

#5. The answer is False

     Kayla's view: It is not wise to hide the food bags in a bush near by because the animals will get to it. Instead, you have to hang the food bags from a tree in case of bears.
 

If you got 3 or more right then you are ready to go camping!
If you got 2 or less right then I'm so sorry you are just not ready yet
