[Nfb-krafters-korner] my vacation, just for your interest

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi Cathy, I have gone to Oral Hull Camp four times though not since three 
years ago. Yes, it's right here in Oregon where I'm from. Welcome back to 
Oregon!!! I have gone there before they added their adventure camp back in 
2002. Back then, we mainly stayed on the campus except for three trips that 
I can remember off of my head. One trip was interesting because we all got 
to tell our drivers how to get to a local pizza place by reading braille 
directions. Our second trip that week that I can remember was a trip to the 
Foster Farms house which is a fantastic musium which use to be the house of 
a pioneer family. Our third trip that I remember that week was a day trip to 
one of our beaches in Linkon City. I went back to Oral Hull Camp in 2006 
where Oral Hull added a hike to Wild Wood which is one of our trails in the 
forest to the mix. I also helped put up representations of the planets 
around one of their tracks as I announced facts about the planets to the 
whole group as we went. My next trip to Oral Hull was in 2008 where I got to 
go bungy jumping. I have to say that I loved it! They had sky diving but I 
didn't take that one up because I just missed the deadline to add my name to 
the list all thanks to a vacation in Canada which got canseled on the first 
day of camp that year. I did everything else except the sky diving and the 
challenge course because that took place at the same time as the bungy trip 
did. My last trip there was in 2009 where I did everything that I could. I 
did a different camp than the adventure camp because it was already booked 
before I got there. I did however go to the beach in Linkon City, went bungy 
jumping and did all of the other activities that they offered. I have 
enjoyed my visits to Oral Hull Camp. I hope that you enjoyed your's!
