STAYING OVERNIGHT

A hostel is like a big community house where people can relax, cook together and spend the night. In the morning, everyone pitches in to help clean up before they leave. The Hidden Villa hostel is a beautiful place to stay. Behind the main building are the cabins. Inside are many bunk beds with warm blankets. Some students have never stayed overnight without their families before. At first, sleeping at the hostel can seem a little scary. However, after being at Hidden Villa all day long, it’s hard not to notice how safe a place it is. Also, there are lots of caring adults around and students almost always love the opportunity to sleepover with their classmates. - Rm 16

We love spending the night at Hidden Villa.When we spend the night we eat dinner and breakfast together.We like to cook together because we can learn how to cook or learn how to use a knife.While we eat we talk about or day. After that it is time for the night program. We like the night program because we get to sing songs, do skits and go on the night hike.While we were in the night hike we play games and do the alone walk. At first I felt a little scared of the night hike, but I did it any way.Then we get to sleep in our cabins.We sleep with our friends in our bunk beds. That’s why I love the Hidden Villa Hostel. -Cassandra
