Almost three weeks ago, we (Hokkaido ALTs) intended to run HEC Camp. (Hokkaido English Challenge). We were all stoked about showing kids the time of their life in English and ready to leave when the news came.
There had been a bear in camp and with the short notice (it came the morning we were supposed to head out), we couldn’t re-locate and had to cancel.
A few of us spent a day feeling sad about it and then decided it was going to be one of the last chances to hang out with each other before various favorite ALTs were leaving. So, we decided to go camping instead.

And of course, after N started turning out cool night shots, I had to get R’s assistance to try. These were a couple of my favorites.
