camping woes

Sec 3 camp is coming, and I dread this day. It is compulsory for all to attend. The camp will be on the 28th, 29th and 30th of June, right after our 1 month holiday.
I hate camping because I felt that we are deprive of our basic rights such as air-cons, fans and even proper baths. It is disgusting to sleep with others in a tent that is stuffy and with no proper beds. Besides, the weather is so warm nowadays, to have no air-cons or even fans, it is going to be roasting. There will be so many people waiting for their turn to take a bath that we have to be quick or they'll be banging at the bathroom door. I do not have a pleasant experience during my last camp. The food is yucky, this is one dish I can't forget : tomato with cucumber, throughout the camp, I think I just ate the rice. The is only a reason why I hate going to camp. I am a fussy eater and I hate anything with garlic in it.
Then there is the games which are suppose to promote coorperation and teamwork. I 've play enough of these games in my school-life. I don't think it is going to help us. I also hate getting myself wet, I don't mind it when I am in the swimming pool, but to get wet in a river or sea send shivers down my spine.
The more my family and friends say how it is going to be fun in a camp, the more I resist the idea. I cannot see how "fun" and "unforgettable" it is going to be. It will be wet, stuffy, yucky, sweaty during the camp.
The only way to get of the camp is to fall sick. I really hope that I can be ill.
