Many kids go camping during the summer. Usually, they start camp (露营) in the morning and go home in the afternoon. That is called day camp. Nowadays, another kind of camp, sleep-away camp, is becoming popular with kids. It's called sleep-away camp because they stay overnight (过夜) there. It's a kind of vacation for kids, but without their parents. Kids usually spend a week in attending sleep-away camp. It offers much more excitement because they'll be there all day and night, eating their meals, playing games and communicating with others. They'll sleep in a cabin (小屋) with the other kids attending the camp. They have to share the bathroom with the other kids.
If you go to a sleep-away camp for the first time, you'll feel excited and maybe a little nervous. Be proud of yourself for being old enough to go camping. It is a chance to try new things. It's also a chance to learn about being independent. Are you looking forward to attending such a camp in your summer vacation?
