What was it like? Well, Cardigan was a super cool place! It contains a small lodge with a bunk beds inside to sleep in, a kitchen, showers, and gorgeous mountain views from the outside, and even includes games & fun activities that you can play. On the first day of Cardigan, we had a group of people that one of us had to join. Once we were all in a group, we walked down the trail into the forest, sketched a bunch of cool looking trees, and even a waterfall near Welton Falls. Once we were done, we continued our way back to the lodge where we could take a break, eat some food, and relax. By then after we were done eating and taking our small little break, we got back to the forest again. We sketched some more little plants and pretty looking leaves. Once it started to get darker, we decided to get back. It was awfully tough to climb up the hills and everything, but overall, the cardigan field trip was fun and interesting to experience. I look forward to having more of these field trips soon.

We were there for 3 days, wednesday thursday friday
