Da: Da lejren sluttede, havde Mikkel ikke kun genvundet sin selvtillid, men også sin kærlighed til sporten.

Da: Han lærte værdien af kommunikation og fandt styrke i hans oplevelser.

Da: Og mens bladene fortsatte med at falde omkring lejren, gik Mikkel fremad med nyfundet mod.
En: And as the leaves continued to fall around the camp, Mikkel moved forward with newfound courage.

Da: Dette var ikke slutningen, men snarere en ny begyndelse.
En: This was not the end, but rather a new beginning.
