A Washington boy 13 year old boy named Nicholas Clark missing during camping is back home in Lake Stevens, Wash. after spending nearly two weeks in the woods, police say.

Hover said the teenager had spent his time Oct 13, to begin attending public school after previously only being home-schooled. But after spending two weeks camping and wandering through forests area, the teen contacted his mother, Vicki.
Hover told the Times “He had plenty of time to be by himself, and to think, and he decided he was ready for public school”.
The newspaper Seattle Times said police had been contacted regarding the missing teenager, but news of Clark’s missing was not made public until the news release Friday.
