I was looking forward to cultural weekend. Cultural weekend is an annual event where teachers and a group of students go partake in some sort of cultural activity, usually off campus, be it cooking, going to a museum, etc. It’s a chance to get off campus and do something new and different. I went camping in Piedra Blanca, a gorgeous back country site. Filled with glorious, sky-reaching rock formations, the view was incredible. While discussing the Chumash Indians, to whom the site was very special, we climbed the large boulders and wandered around. With the bustle of schoolwork, camping is always a wonderful way to relax and simply enjoy the outdoors. I’m not your typical outdoor adventurer, but with a minimal amount of backpacking, a night filled with stars, and a roaring campfire, it was the perfect escape.
