Camp Internet Jack London Story Contest

This story contest is going to challenge you to get inside the skin of another life form, and to tell us about how the call of the wild feels.

Please select one of the following plants or animals to imagine yourself as. For example, think about how the weather fells to them, what their favorite food is, who their closest neighbors are, what they are looking forwards to. Then tell us your tale.

Redwood tree in the sierras
Hawk flying over a secret valley
Pine tree forest whispering in the wind
Deer blending into the shadows if the forest
Wild lupine clinging to a small piece of soil in the rocky chaparral
Brown bear storing up body strength to survive the winter
Woodpecker secreting acorns in a tree trunk


Younger student's prize : a redwood seedling to plant and care for
Middle student's prize : a wildflower plant carpet
Advanced student's prize : a redwood seedling to plant and care for
