Sindy at Camp

Freezing with coldness, I was walking to the hill and on top of the hill was a slide. It had freezing cold ice on the slide, I didn’t go down the slide, so I walked to the bottom of the hill and  just in front of the river was some bamboo, tyre and strings. After listening to the instructions I headed to the building area.It was hard to build but I did do it with my group. My group went last to put our group raft in the water. As we all got ready, we all took a life-jacket and one paddle and off we went sitting on the raft, paddling slowly.
When we stopped  at the end we had to bring the raft back with bare feet on the
freezing cold grass.

Camp Activities

Abseiling positives

I was glad that everyone gave it a go no matter what everyone else says.We got to go on the merry go round after each turn.

Rock Climbing positives

I made it up to the top of all the climbing walls.It was good that everyone tried there best



Kayaking negatives

I didn’t like kayaking because people kept crashing into me.Also I didn’t like it was because it was really hard to turn. It was bad because Miss Lister wet me. It was also bad because there was a big rock in the middle of the river.

Crate climbing

Scattered across the auditorium floor were about 15 milk crates. After listening carefully to the instructions I headed into the climbing area. My group agreed to let me go first. So I set off stacking crate by crate. When the crates began to wobble I could hear my team screeching my name repeatedly then the tower collapsed and I swung down screaming in terror.

Raft Building

Just as I woke up I remembered excitedly we had Raft Building at 1:20.       
We cooperated building our rafts. It was difficult to think of a design. Then a teammate just randomly imagined it and it worked PERFECTLY.

But one of the negatives was trying to get everyone on board.
We also didn’t row at the same time

so we kept on going in circles.
We also ended up getting stuck.
But at least somebody was there to rescue us.

Crate climbing

Oh! We rushed across to the auditorium after lunch to do crate climbing. There we had instructions for crate climbing. After the careful instruction, we started to run across to the crates. After we split into two groups, everyone agreed on who would climb first. Everyone waited for the kids to finish the climb. After a few climbs it was my try on the climb now.

It was very not good that when kids had finished their climb they began to say sad things about the climb and wanted to go again. Suddenly, some in the group said I had to go last for some reason and then they began to argue who is going next. We asked the instructor who would go last and she said, “Lets see about the climb first.”
Then we had resolved our problem of the climb.

Abseling And Crate Climbing Mania

In front of me I saw an enormous Abseiling tower swirling through the fog. After the instructions we all had the same opinion about who should go first. So off they went, abseiling down to the ground, After cheering for the others, I finally got a chance to abseil. I was extremely happy. First I felt nervous, but as soon as I got up the tower, I didn’t feel nervous at all! As I was leaning backwards, I felt nervous again. When I kept going, I wanted to go down again, but I was already down, at the ground, before I knew it.

There I was, standing in the Auditorium waiting to stack crates. But before I knew it, we were fighting about who should go first. Then an adult chose for us. When it was my turn, when I got 9 crates high I got angry because I fell off. If I didn’t fall off I would have been super duper high.  Then we had another turn, but we fought again. Then Kimberley said ”Harry, you go first! ” . I was still angry for the rest of the Crate Climbing.

Frozen toes

Early in the morning me and my team were hiking down to the river again. As soon as we got there we started to listen to the instructions. After the instructions my team rushed off to fetch the things to craft the raft but as soon as we were in the water it was freezing and all my toes were frozen.

Right in front of us were two boards for Archery. Yay it was my turn. I swooped up the bow and arrow pulled back and WHOOSH! I hit the  board. I picked up another arrow YES! on the board again. My last arrow BANG! hit the board. Feeling proud I rushed to the back of the line.
