Paul
Roberts,
15,
lives
in
New
York.
Like
thousands
of
other
American
students,
he usually
goes away
to
a summer camp
during the school holidays. These camps are
just for teenagers, without their parents, and Paul always has a great time. But
this summer he's doing something different
鈥?/p>
he's going on an adventure (
鍐掗櫓
)
holiday in Hawaii. He tells us about his plan, 鈥淚t's
a camping holiday for three
weeks in Hawaii, for kids from 14 to 18. I'm leaving on 23 July and
coming back
on
12 August.鈥?/p>
First, we're well颅prepared and
walking through
the forest on an old native
Hawaiian
path.
They
say
it's
very
beautiful,
with
huge
waterfalls
and
golden
beaches.
After
this
five颅day
walk,
we're
staying
for
two
days
in
a
valley
on
the
Pacific
Ocean.
The
main
activity
here
will
be
surfing
(

).
I
don't
know
how
to
surf,
but
instructors will teach us how to do it, and I'm really
looking forward to
this.
Then
the
organizers
are
providing
mountain
bikes
and
we're
going
for
long
rides
鈥?/p>
about 30 miles a day, around one of Hawaii's volcanoes (
鐏北
). And on one day
we're
meeting
a
local
Hawaiian
family
and
helping
them
to
plant
fruit
trees
on
their
farm.
After that, we're sailing for three days along the coast, and they say we'll
have
a
chance
to
swim
with
dolphins
and
sea
turtles!
This
sounds
fantastic.Finally,
we're
going
out
for
three
days
in
sea
kayaks
(

)
鈥?/p>
we're
visiting
sea
caves
and
we'll be swimming and diving too.
Every night for the three weeks,
we're camping in tents,
usually
on the beach
.
This isn't a holiday for everyone! They say you have to be fit, and of course you
have to know how to swim and ride a bike. But I think it's going to be a fantastic
experience.
