Samantha C

I finally arrived at Camp Cave Hill after a boring bus ride. We collected our bags and put them against the wall before we were told the rules and activities in stall. My heart was pounding with excitement with a hint of happiness. After a while we went and did our first activity… Orienteering. I was so bored because I could not work the compass. I doubt I will ever do that again. After a little while waiting, we went and did the Rope Course. It was really difficult, but I had so much fun. In my head I was thinking I am really bad at the Rope Course. I kept rocking back and forth while my stomach was full of laughter. A long time later, after eating dinner, Mr C called us to the floor. I felt the butterflies in my stomach fly much faster. I had become nervous. I knew what Mr C was going to say. He then said, “We are going on the night walk”. It started to echo in my head. When I took the first step outside I held onto Genevieve’s arm along with Nicola. About halfway in the walk we found a dead kangaroo. When we got back I was so glad to be indoors. I felt a warm rush travel across me, which made me feel a lot safer, but then of course something always had to go wrong. Then I see Mr c crouching next to Amanda Di Censo. So me and my friends go over to Mr C and ask what’s wrong, and when he said that Amanda got bitten by a leech I was filled with fear as I was doing canoeing tomorrow. We had our supper and later headed off for bed. We were ready for bed, we had a quick peek outside, and then shut the door. Then all of a sudden I hear Georgia screaming and Nicola shouting that there’s a frog1 I was laughing when Mr C and Miranda were taking photos of the dead frog.
LIST OF DEAD INSECTS AND ANIMALS WE FOUND…
Dead moths
Dead frog
Dead spider
Alive spider in my bed
And a rubber snake in Nicola’s bed (which I put there)

I had the best day of my life today and I can’t wait for tomorrow.
