Hi 5/6!

WEDNESDAY 10TH OF OCTOBER- FRIDAY 12TH OCTOBER

We all rush to get out of the bus and we are waiting to see our new home for the next three days. I can feel everyone’s excitement in the air. I know that everyone is bursting to go and have a look at the campgrounds and find out what group we are in. We all gather in the “rec room” and find out all the information about camp. I can’t sit still; I’m just raring to go. Our group’s first activity was compassing. It wasn’t the best activity, except it gave us a challenge. One of the next activities was archery. Once I was taught how to do it, it was much easier and I nearly got a bullseye, therefore it was on the wrong aim. The next activity was one of my favourite, canoeing. I was a partner with Samantha.C. It was her first time so I had to say all the positive things. Nothing went wrong, we got in a middle of a race but that was about all. At the end my arms felt like jelly, but it was worth it. All the girls were checking if we had leeches after Amanda got bitten the night before. After all the excitement of the canoeing, we were extremely motivated for the next activity. Ropes here we come! We rush to get to the front, it looks easy but it wasn’t. It was good fun because you had the chance to keep on trying. It was the last day and it was raining so we couldn’t do much, until we went for a “walk”. We stopped and suddenly saw all this land with a lot of sticks. Mr. C made a team activity, building huts with all the different sticks. We ended up all participating and contributing ideas. We loved what we had come up with and had a look at all the other fantastic huts.

This was one of the best Camps ever!
