I was originally going to ignore this thread but it has become too comical.
This is NOT an example of sloppy drafting! It says clearly that three of
the events must be camping overnight. Therefore, four, five, six, . . .
activities that included camping overnight would meet this requirement.
Have they stopped teaching logic and English in this country? The statement
says what it says quite clearly without any room for misiniterpretation (I
thought) by anyone who knows the language and the syntax of English!
