17 Campers Share Their Craziest Travels

14.

It was just after lunch and we were all leaving the dining hall. I needed to grab a metal can so I walked behind the dining hall to the dumpsters when i see the camp director and a good deal of campers on the back porch telling me to go away…I responded in a sarcastic tone that they should go away trying to live up to the reputation I had gained. When I turned around there was an adult black bear not three feet away from me locked onto my eyes. I bowed my head and slowly walked backwards the way I came….didn’t really need that can that bad.

I was hiking with 3 friends in the Jura region of Switzerland. It was maybe 8 or so in the evening and we were heading uphill. We stop for a second to get our bearings, when two super friendly dogs appear from nowhere and start getting close to us and chilling and so on, being super cool and so on. We head off back down the hill towards the camp site, and they start freaking out at us, barking like Cerberus himself. We walk off, then a herd of cows appears. Turns out the dogs were herding the cows. Really a WTF moment, so we stopped on the other side of a fence and had a blunt to chill out.

We had just got to our campsite to unload and my younger brother left some snacks out. A raccoon snuck in real fast and stole the Oreos. My little brother was so mad that he chased the raccoon until it outran him.
