Camp Reflection

                      Camp Reflection

 This camp was totally epic it was an awesome experience So where do I start? Ah yes, rotation 1 :)

Day One
Wow look at the view it's so cool I wonder what adventures await for me oh look there's a peacock said Kade's Mum. Kayla and I laughed our heads off in the back seat it was turkey haha!.

Rotation 1:Okay so I thought rotation one Orienteering was a bit boring partly because I wasn't understanding how to use a compass and it was all just a really confusing rotation but I did like walking back and we needed to take 135 steps backwards with our eyes closed and I wound up going right because I am right handed and some people wound up going left because they were left-handed.

Rotation 2: So our second rotation was the Mud Run it was very sticky and my head went under the sticky muddy water I came up to retrieve a breath it was deep in one patch nearly over my head I got lost a bit because I accidentally started running up the horse track! and ran past the jetty I was supposed to jump off but then I figured out where it was in the end.

Rotation 3: Our Next rotation was Horse Riding I was really nervous because I have only been led on a horse before never without a lead so I was a bit nervous we went on a trek my horses name that I rode was called Mosh she was a calm horse I was a bit nervous when I first saw her I started patting her and let her sniff my hand and I was a bit scared but then I became quite confident I hoped on the horse fine and off horse riding was one of my favourite activities to do. So now I know how to hop on a horse start a horse stop a horse and hop off a horse.

Rotation 4: Kayaking I was in a double kayak with Dareeya we kept getting stuck in the bushes so we learnt how to paddle our selves out of the sticky situation and it was fun but I didn't like getting stuck so much but kayaking was awesome but it did get a bit cold because it was our last rotation and we also did a walking on water activity where we put all the boats together and we had to try to walk across them one person at a time though and we had to hold all the kayaks together and the paddles a was a bit nervous walking across them because it was wobbly. The purpose of the activity was if someone got injured how to get them across safely so it was a fun activity.


The Talent Show!: The Talent Show was totally awesome. In my group there was Amy, Elana and I. We did a comedy act we had it a lot longer than it was on the night but we had it cut short. So here is one of the parts we didn't get to say there was quite a lot but it was probably a bit boring and I can understand why. Keira: I knit a hat for you do you like it?. Summer:  No Knitting was SO back in the 80s. But it was really fun and a bit nerve racking but the important thing is that we got up there and tried our best I think everyone did well and it was an entertaining night.



Parents Performance: The Parents all did a dance with masks on but the most hilarious thing about it was the masks were of Mrs Strathern Mr Gemmell and Mrs Hobbs and one of the parents that was Mrs Hobbs had glasses on poked through the eyes it was funny and at the end all the parents threw there masks to the children the was awesome. 
Next Day...

Rotation 5: Rock Climbing it was fun I loved climbing up I made it to the top and got to ring the bell and I love being high up in the air and I am also quite scared of heights but this was really fun and I hope to to it again :)

Camp Fire:The camp fire was cool we got to roast marshmallows
and we got a biscuit but when you go close to the fire it was very painful and smoky in your eyes when you went to roast them the campfire looked so cool and we told eachother scary stories and sang songs it was an awesome night.

Rotation 6: Scavenger Hunt it was a bit boring our time was 26.23 Minutes it was fun and we got everything on the lsit I even picked up Horse Manure but it wasn't gross at all well that was nothing it's just picking up horse poo :)

Rotation 7: Raft Building this was absolutely amazing and super super fun and Mr Gemmell got a photo of me falling off backwards with my legs in the air and one of me still holding on  it was actually really painful and it stung like crazy but I still kept going and trying my best so I could enjoy the moment because I was having heaps of fun and I really enjoy looking at the photo of me falling of it's hilarious :) :)



 
Rotation 8: Slug Gun Shooting It was actually quite hard and I thought it would give you a shock when you shot it but it didn't and the bullets were small and you can only fit one bullet in at a time and we did a competition I came SECOND!... to last :) but I was still really pleased with myself for giving it a go :)

Tough Guy Challenge: Go! I walked through the water I didn't run because it hurt my feet but lots of people did walk so you could either do it for fun which I did or do it for a race I choose for fun because I like doing things for fun and not for the race there were lots of obstacles and it was really fun to jump over them and climb up them and at the end we got to go in the pool and it was hot and relaxed your muscles.












Movie Time: The Movie we watched was called Up it was an awesome movie I have watched it before and it was ad when his wife died but he still had fun with his life enjoyed it was cool when the balloons lift this house up in the sky and it was cool when they moved they moved here they put there hand on the mailbox with paint and there names and it fell over which was sad it was an awesome movie.

Burma Trail: It was awesome we had to hold on to the rope at all times so we didn't get lost you could go with the lights or no lights I was really scared but I went with what was outside my brain and went with no lights but it was still so much fun and I got really scared when Jo was in the tree really high up and she turned on the light and made a frighting yell and I screamed my lungs out and then I heard something rusting in the bushes then something clutched my leg I let out a little yelp then I heard the other group scream and I scream as well it was really fun but actually scary we just went to spookers! no I am joking I haven't been to spookers but spookers is probably scarier and I hate to think about but I know it's all pretend but is it not! :)

Next Day..

Goodbye peacock! Goodbye camp goodbye cool adventures I have had.

Hot Pools: Ah so hot and nice after all the activities hot pools make me sleepy but it was so  nice and I couldn't feel my legs it was like a tingly sensastion and there was also a little water fall there to and one of the parents jumped off the waterfall it was hilarious and I had a great time I will remember these experiences for life and maybe do some of them again some day :)



Finally I get to say this THE END :)
