Often, people go camping in the mountains or near a nice lake. Some people in England go camping in a very different place. They go camping in a church. Yeah, a church!

There are lots of old churches in England. Many of them were built hundreds of years ago. Some of the churches are so old they have bats in them.
有一些很老的教堂裡甚至有蝙蝠。
Well, maybe sleeping in a church with bats wouldn't be so great.
There's even a name for camping in a church. It's called "champing." Champing is two words put together: church and camping. So, champing is a new word.
Champing這個新的英文字，是把教堂church和露營camping兩個字拼在一起。
