Yes, my middle school had field trips. I went camping with classmates and teachers.
I shared the tent with friends. We cooked, danced, and slept together. We also did a test of courage (Kimodameshi 肝試し in Japanese).
Do you know Kimodameshi? At night, a group of people visits a cemetery, haunted house, or secluded forest path to carry out specific missions.
All students were paired up. I went to the dark forest with the male student. He said to me first, “It is an easy mission!”
We walked together, but he was scared. He grabbed my arm. I was not scared at all. I was scared of natural disasters and heights.
It was a fun trip.
