Question
When we go camping, it's around Arrowhead State Park. The type of food we pack is chicken and brats and other foods. Most of the time we walk around or go hunting. How we prepare is by knowing in advance of time, and we make a list of stuff that we could need.
My family leaves around 7pm, and we arrive close to 11 or 12 at night. We have a cabin, so we just grab our bags and get to sleep. In the morning we get up around 9 to 10. My dad usually makes breakfast, and it's most of the time hash browns. After food, my dad gets deer feed and lays it out to go hunting later. Then my brother gets firewood to burn to cook lunch, which usually is chicken or something else. When I'm done eating, I may go on a walk and see some cool animals like birds, rabbits, and sometimes snakes. When I'm back from my walk, I may take a nap or just lie in the cabin. I haven’t gone hunting yet, but I might next time I go there because I got my license, but I’m not fully sure. But for a few hours there’s not much that goes on until dinnertime.

When my family goes camping at Arrowhead State Park, it’s more than just a getaway; it’s a cherished tradition filled with adventure and quality time in nature. We typically prepare for this trip by packing a variety of foods, including juicy chicken and flavorful brats, along with other essentials like snacks, fruits, and breakfast items. We want to ensure we have everything we need, so in the days leading up to the trip, we sit down as a family and create a comprehensive list of supplies and equipment, from the camping gear to cooking necessities and even the little comforts that make the trip enjoyable.
On the day of our departure, we aim to leave by 7 PM to maximize our time at the park. The drive usually takes a few hours, and we enjoy the anticipation that builds as we roll down the highway, with each passing mile bringing us closer to our destination. We often listen to our favorite camping playlists or recount funny stories from past trips. By the time we arrive at Arrowhead State Park, typically around 11 PM or midnight, the cool night air greets us, and the stars twinkle brightly overhead. We haul our bags into the cabin, a cozy spot that feels like a second home, and after a long day of travel, we finally settle in for a good night's sleep, excited for the adventures awaiting us in the morning.
Morning comes softly, and we usually rise between 9 and 10 AM, greeted by the sounds of rustling leaves and distant bird calls. Breakfast is a special time; my dad takes the lead in the kitchen, whipping up a hearty meal of crispy hash browns—a family favorite that fuels us for a busy day ahead. The aroma of cooking fills the cabin, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. After we've eaten, my dad gets busy preparing for our hunting trip by laying out deer feed in designated spots around the area, making sure we’ve set the stage for a successful hunt later in the day.
While my brother gathers firewood for the lunch fire, I often venture outside for a morning walk. The trails around our cabin are scenic and alive with wildlife. I might see bright bluebirds flitting from branch to branch, curious rabbits peeking out from the bushes, and occasionally, I catch a glimpse of a snake basking in the sun. Each walk is a mini adventure, filled with exploration and discovery. I take my time, trying to soak in all the beauty of nature, from the towering trees to the gentle rustle of the wind.
Upon returning to the cabin, I might decide to take a nap, letting the soothing sounds of the wilderness lull me to sleep, or I may simply relax on the porch, listening to the birds chirping and feeling the gentle breeze. While I haven’t gone hunting yet, I’m excited because I recently got my hunting license, and I’m considering joining my dad and brother on their next expedition. I think about all the skills I want to learn—tracking, patience, and observation—things that will make me a better hunter.
As the hours pass, our schedules feel leisurely; there’s a sense of freedom that comes with being in nature, where the rush of daily life fades away. When lunchtime rolls around, the familiarity of the campfire beckons. My dad usually cooks the chicken, seasoned to perfection, while we sit around sharing stories or playing games. The food tastes even better when it’s made over an open flame, and the camaraderie makes every bite memorable.
After lunch, we might plan an afternoon hike to explore different parts of the park or simply enjoy some downtime—whether it's reading a book on the porch or engaging in some friendly competition with outdoor games. The beauty of camping is that time seems to slow down. We relish each moment, from the thrilling possibility of seeing elusive wildlife to the simple joys of laughter and conversation.
As dinner approaches, we gather around the fire again to prepare another meal. The warmth of the flames and the connection with each other create a perfect ending to our day of exploration and relaxation. As night falls, we sit under the vast sky, perhaps squeezing in a little stargazing and listening to the soothing sounds of the night.
Each camping trip at Arrowhead State Park becomes a treasure trove of memories that we carry with us long after we leave. This is what makes our adventures special—a blend of nature, family, and the anticipation of new experiences waiting for us just around the corner.
