Get Ready for Your Trip ~ Spending the Night pg#3

THE NIGHT HIKE: If you think you might get scared during the night hike, tell a good friend how you feel before you go. Sometimes just talking about your feelings will make you feel better. This friend could also help you feel brave during the hike by encouraging you and maybe even giving you a friendly hand to hold. Being a little scared of the dark is normal, but letting yourself get terrified will really make it hard for you to enjoy the night hike. Fear is in your mind, so you have control over it. Don't let yourself get scared. Instead of thinking about how scary the night is, keep your mind focused on the activities you are doing with your group or think about all the fun you had at Hidden Villa during the day.

QUOTE BOX ~ Listen to what other kids have to say! (click photo)
	"When we went on the night hike at first I was scared. It was really dark! I could see the dark trees and hear the sounds of night animals. But then we played fun games and I noticed that other people weren't so afraid any more. This changed my mind about being scared of the dark. In the end I had a great time on the night hike. It was my first time walking in the forest at night!" - Nancy
