First we drove. It was a long car ride, filled with anticipation and excitement. “Are we there yet?,” I asked, impatiently. “Yes, yes, we're here,” my Mom said as we pulled up to the Sealife Camp. A sliver of excitement ran through me. My eyes gleamed with curiosity as I looked up at a tall building made out of bricks. I could see what looked to be one hundred canoes, a staircase heading up into the building, and then a large deck. I glanced into a little room with cool animal skulls and souvenirs. I stood there looking up at the building wondering what I would find in this camp.
As we walked up the stairs, I could also see that the deck overlooked water, which looked cloudy and brackish. I could hear and see two counselors welcoming the other kids walking up the stairs.
“Hello,” one said waving at me.
“Hi,'' I responded.
“Come on, we're about to leave,” she said.
I looked over the deck at the water and hopped in the boat.
After going over the safety rules, we set sail to Crab Island. On our way we saw a beautiful snow white egret looking right at us! Pulling up to the bank we began our scavenger hunt to find shark teeth. Everyone was searching and finding treasures, however I wasn’t so sure about the shark tooth I found. They said it was a sand tiger shark tooth, but it kind of looked like a prehistoric bird skull. I still have it in my room today!
That day at Coastal Expeditions really had been magical!
