The Camping Trip

Jennifer K Mann

Ernestine eagerly prepares for her first camping trip with Aunt Jackie and her cousin Samantha. At the campground, putting up a tent proves difficult, fish in the lake unsettle her, hiking is hard, and nighttime brings missing her dad. Alongside these challenges, she discovers the outdoors, eats s’mores, and sees a starlit sky. Aunt Jackie responds calmly to her worries while the cousins play together.
