Youth Camp Letter

Dear Yaashvi,
I hope you are sailing in the boat of health and happiness. I felt very doleful when you were unable to be a part of the youth camp because of your sister's wedding. But I want to narrate some wonderful experiences that happened in the camp.
It was a two days and one night youth camp. It was a combination of a trek with other activities. we went to Jim Corbett park in Nainital. We lodged into a small at a little distance from the milling crowds that frequent the place during the summer vacations. We were going to trek through the hills. We were ten in all. Our group escort's name was Ramesh who was very strict and firm. I just could not resist the temptation of taking a trek on that roads the path was flanked by tall pine trees that gave off a sweet fragrance The soft breeze carried the fragrance far and wide. The trail led to slopes and terrace fields. it looked very picturesque and I was awed by the industriousness of man who can overcome all natural obstacles to survive. the chirping of birds filled me with peace.
After walking about fifty yards we chanced upon a small rivulet. The clear, sparkling water gurgled as it moved and lashed over rocks and pebbles. we took a stop there and did white water rafting. We quickly changed in a shack near by and resumed our trek. After some time we reached an open green stretch with velvety grass that stretched out before us. Over there we did various activities like archery, riffle shooting, bungee jumping etc. Our group escort taught us various self defense techniques and Jungle survival techniques. This helped us overcome or phobias and helped us to broaden our vision and strengthen our willpower.
The evening sun had stretched before the horizon and we decided to spend the night there. We learned how to make tents and did star gazing. In the morning we decided to go back to our cottage. The return journey was through a shorter trail.
We reached our cottage and took a train and returned home.I hope that you will be able to join us next time in the camp. I will e-mail you some of my photographs. Give my regards to your parents.
