HeyI'mZ

So yeah, I need your help so PLEASE DON'T IGNORE IT AND PLEASE ANSWER THIS.
Okay,Im 15 and this is the first time Im ever going to a trip. Like,Ive never even had a sleepover cause my dad is kinda strict.
Anyway,this year we're going to a hill station to camp(only the girls + teachers in my class).
It is being organized by a famous trip organizer and after a little convincing( to my amazenent) my dad agreed.
So its a 5 day stay tour and We'll leave on 29 september and return on 5th of october.
However,my mum suggested me to simply tell dad that we'll go for just 5 days and not get into details but I THINK my dad assumed that we're going for 5 days(Including departure and arrival).

If I explain him now,that its a total 7 days,I fear (and Im kinda sure) he'll say no.
And I REALLY REALLY want to go.Ive never been anywhere and ALL the girls are going.I'm a good child and the topper of my class too.

But I 'm scared that if I tell him later he's gonna get really mad cause He'll think I lied to him and even though the amount will be paid he'll stop me from going.We're rich so he doesnt care about the money a lot.

We're going by a luxury Ist class bus so it is kinda safe?

So- should I tell him now?
He might get mad and stop me? Or should I wait for him to ask? or should I be cool and tell him that this is what I was told? (What if he enquires the school about it?)
Oh and we'll leave post lunch on 29th(Soshould that day be included) and we havent been informed about the arrival yet.

Im worried. Please help?

Answer
Stay calm. Heads think better that way. Your folks ought to get a letter from the school explaining all about the trip.
Meanwhile, less is best. Less information, less to go wrong.
The bus will be safe, no worries. You only hear about bus trips that go wrong, not the thousand other trips that had no news for people to worry over.
Include the going away day as a day although it's really half a day but have a word at the school about information letters to parents. It might say something like five full days plus two half days.
There's a bit of time to go yet, no sweat. Just keep cool and low profile about it.

It's understandable some folks being strict cuz there's a lot of bad people in the world but our family has been fortunate that my wife and I met on a walking trip in the hills one Easter and our girls all grew up with the outdoor life.
They were camping on mountains before they could walk. Some of their first steps were on Alpine rock.
One of them went to Camp America to teach outdoor stuff,trekking, rock climbing, cross country navigating, kayaking, and she's a qualified archery instructor too.
The kids thought she was a genius haha!! It's just how she grew up and we were lucky enough to be in places where we could do all that stuff.
When she asked about going backpacking for a few months I was happy she wanted to do it by herself.
One part of the trip she got a lift working on a schooner going from Australia to the Cook Islands in the Pacific ocean and made links between their schools and ours. We live on an island too.
I've been to five continents and I still travel. There are hundreds of teenage girls backpacking in Africa any day of the year, even in places some men would be worried about.
There are hundreds more in Asia and in South America. Backpacker hostels are big business now.
Have fun at the camp and don't spoil it before you go by worrying about it. Just keep everything smooth and cool. You've got loads of time to get ready for it.
Best of luck.
