School Camp

During term 1, my hub and me went on school camp. School camp is where you go away from your family for a few days and have lots of cool fun. We went on Monday 20th of February till Wednesday 22nd of February. There was a lot to do but it was worth it. I am about to tell you about the first day on our school camp.

Our first thing was explaining the rules for camp. That was easy!
Next we went  on the bus and went to Wood-End grounds.
When we arrived there, we put our bags in our cabins and then listened to where everything was and what to do.
When that was done, we got our lunchboxes from our cabins and went outside to eat our morning tea. When we had finished eating, we got to play and have an explore. That was so fun! 
When the bell rang for end of play, we sat in our groups and went off to our first activity.

Our first activity was aero jump. What we had to do was...
 Firstly we hopped onto the scales to see how much we weighted and then after that we got given a number written on our hands so we fitted the right tramp. When it was your turn, you took your shoes off and then got harnessed up. When that was done you could start jumping.

Our next activity for the day was water sliding. What we had to do was..
Firstly we had to get changed into our togs.
Next we walked up the stairs to the slide and then the fun had started.
If you were lucky you could slide into the mud. That was very fun!

Our final activity for the day was the flying fox. What we had to do for that was..
Firstly a few of us (at a time) would get a helmet and a harness.
Then we would climb up the stairs to the top of the building and then when it was your tern you would get clipped onto a hook and then swing down to the bottom. That was so much fun.

After our last activity we got to go and play for a while. When our playtime was over, we lined up in our groups so we could go and get dinner. For dinner we were going to have nachos. They were very yummy.

When dinner was over, we went outside and played.

Later on, we got called to line up again so we could get dessert. For dessert we were having Chocolate mousse with ice-cream and sprinkles. It was delicious!

Later on after dessert was finished, we all got ready for bed.
When that was done, we hopped into bed and went to sleep. It had been a busy day!


Reflection for Camp-

Wood-End Christian Camp was a great experience for me because it helped me with my teamwork, challenging myself and believing in myself.
My favourite activity was the harness ones.
Firstly I liked the aero jump because you got to do cool tricks like back flips or front flips (even though I could not do either of them).
Nest was the climbing wall. What we had to do was we had to climb to the top but first we had to get harnessed up and get the team-mated ready. The climbing wall was a great challenge to some people because it let most of our confidence up.
The last one was the zip line. At first I was a bit scared because I thought that we had to hold the rope with our hands but when we listened to the instructions we didn't have to. -Hannah
