Before starting this trip, I imagined it would be like summer camp. Living outdoors, making friends, exploring nature, and having campfires. Although it can be all those things, I soon found that it was equally like boot camp. Despite a lack of drill sergeants, you become your own driving force. The cycle of setting up/tearing down camp, strenuous exertion, and a sun centric sleep schedule.
