Trying to Float
“Kids could hike or swim in a lake or just wander around. In the evening, everyone gathered wood and built fires. The place we went was Winter Valley. Everyone looked forward to it, especially me.
Unpopular kids tell themselves that if they have a chance to get out of school and be with kids in a different setting, it will be easier to make friends. Winter Valley was perfect for this: there were plenty of group activities, and the kids slept together in log cabins.
My class trip to Winte...r Valley was scheduled for February. Though I didn’t much like the cold, I was thrilled. It was all I could think about. I read about the trees and animals that I would see, how to build a fire and make friendship bracelets. I had been collecting magazines on “country living” for years, hoping that one day my parents would move us to a woodsy place.
— I had asked my parents to come on the trip as the chaperones, but that was never going to happen.MoreLess
