Camp
On Monday 3rd of May syndicate D and Room 28 went to camp Motutapu. Because it’s a great way for us to try new things and break out of your comfert zone.
I was in rush to get my bags in the car because I was so excited about camp but we had to go to Half Moon Bay . Once I was there I said bye to my dad and waited with my class to get on the ferry.
When I put my bags down on the ferry I ran up to the top platform and sat facing land. The ferry ride was 45 minutes long.
When we got of the ferry we waited in our groups for our bags to get loaded into the truck so we don’t have to carry them on the hour walk which was mainly up hill. When we were half way we stopped to have lunch I had home made pizzas which were delicious.
When we got to camp we waited for everyone to catch up so we can get our stuff,pick our beds and then have a look around but before we did that we had to listen to a lot of boring rules and then the told us what our first activity was mine was sailing we got two minutes to get changed and be down there me and my friend learned how to sail backwards it was awesome.
Our second activity was raft building my team won but when we were carrying the raft broke it jammed my hand between two pieces of bamboo it really hurt but the activity was really fun.
After that we had dinner which was nachos it was delicious I had seconds but desert was degusting so I threw it out.
After dinner we did the Burma trail it was boring you could see the people who were trying to scare you and my friend rolled his ankle it was so dumb.
On Tuesday I had mince and spaghetti on toast the mince was cold but that didn’t stop me I was hungry.
My first activity was the climbing walls the first three were easy but the fourth one was so hard I barely got of the ground it was that hard but it was fun trying.
My second activity was the challenging but fun confidence course. Which meant we had to work as team to complete it.It was really fun.
We had to help with lunch it was garlic bread with salad it was awesome because I helped cook it.
After lunch we had kayaking it was really fun but only half my group could go at a time we played kayak soccer and headed in then the other half went out and I was in the first half so I got to go for a swim while the other half were having there turn it was really fun.
My fourth activity was high ropes it was scary doing the beam and the vines but the net was easy me and my friend had a race and I won and was the first one down so it was sort of fun.
Finally we had dinner it was sticky chicken it was okay but could have being better but desert was ice cream banana split it was delicious and tasty
Our last activity of the day was hall activities it was so boring they need better games
But cat and mouse game was fun.
On Wednesday I got up had break fast and got ready for my first activity which was the gun walk. The gun walk was awesome we got to see were the guns used to be and we got to go in an under ground bunker it was funny when they tried to scare as but it didn’t work for me but every one else got scared.
Our second activity was archery. Archery was fun shooting arrows at something that can’t shoot back at the end we had a competition and my friend won he is not the best but he still won.After that we did survival it was really fun we got to run around it was a race walk on wires do puzzles and my team won. At the end we got to walk through a creek that lead up to ducky poo pond it was fun and because we were so muddy we went for a swim too get most of the mud out of our cloths and shoes.After survival we had dinner and got ready for our night time activities mine was spot light I was so close for getting to the deck but I get caught right at the last second so sad but the game was fun.
Today is the last day of activities and we get to choose what we want to do so my first activity I choose was an easy one it was watching a movie and that movie was Alvin and the chipmunks it was funny all though I watch it a hundred times.My second one was abseiling and rock climbing we had to do abseiling fisrt and I was the first person to do it. Abseiling was easy as and fun and rock climbing was okay.
And my last activity was going to be sailing but the wind got up so it changed to low ropes so I changed to kayaking it was worth the change we played the champion and I won and soccer and I won it was really fun.Then we had dinner got ready for the camp concert it was an okay concert but one performance stood out and it was Archie the doll it was so funny.
On Friday we packed up our things tidy up the grounds and loaded up the truck with our bags and started the walk it wasn’t as long as on the way there and then the ferry ride home was fun and then we went home.
And so syndicate D and room 28 went to camp and they had an awesome time.
