Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder. What is comfortable to a fifteen year old might not be so for his Mom or Dad. This article looks at travel from the point of view of young boy of fifteen. He is all set out to go out on this school trip with a few of his friends. Travelling in groups can be a lot of fun provided you know where you are going and you are comfortable with the people with whom you are going to travel with. Before going any further, let me reiterate that this entire trip is supervised by three teachers, whose duty it is to ensure the safety and well being of each child.

This trip is very similar to all school trips that are organized by educational institutions today with various purposes in mind. The trip is being organized as a week-long trip within a wildlife sanctuary. The aim is to get these students to have a feel of living in the forest, camping out under the stars, learning a few survival recipes and generally having a lot of fun.

There are a few things that these children have to know about before embarking on a trip such as this:
• To be able follow instructions carefully – failure to do so might result in a lot of confusion that could sometimes prove to be very costly.
• To be able to chip in with all the chores that are to be done, in order to ensure that the camping experience goes on as smoothly as possible.
• To develop a lot of tolerance towards the actions and inactions of his team members so that the trip can be a learning experience.
• To be able to foster a team spirit and ensure that this is kept going right through the camp.
• To be willing to learn a lot of survival techniques that will not only help each individual, but also ensure the safety of all the boys who are at the camp.

The whole idea of going on a camp like this is to make children aware that there is a world out there waiting to be explored and understood. These children are brought face to face for the very first time, with the bounty of nature, within a wildlife sanctuary. They have never come across such an amazing number of plants, trees and small creatures. Above all, they learn to respect the territorial aspect of all this flora and fauna and understand for the first time that co-existence is a must at all levels.

Since this kind of travel is a very rare opportunity, parents are eager to give their kids the chance to explore, discover and enjoy all that the sanctuary has to offer. The experience of being on their own in the wild will certainly help these fifteen year olds to enjoy the company of others and appreciate the natural wealth that they observe. Hence travel such as this can be a very enriching experience.
