Camp Recount

The day was finally here. Camp! As me and my sister were putting our bags
into the hall I was jumping with excitement. When I said goodbye to my
Mum and my Brother I was really excited and sad at the same time
because I could not see my family for three days and two nights.
I put my bag where

the bus driver said to put them. When everyone got onto the

bus everyone was waving goodbye to their parents. When we

drove out of the school grounds, everyone was just chatting.

When we arrived at camp the bus driver took out

everyone’s bags and we got our bags. We went into

the place we were staying in. Then we had a CTK

Assembly. Mrs Kopua was just talking about the

rules about camp. Then when she showed us

our cabins. 

We went into our cabins and started making our beds. After we
finished making our beds St Theresa School came. We had an
assembly with the person in charge of the camp. His name was Lyndon.
Then we had some

free time. The bell rang and we did some activities. I did

go karting. When I went on the go kart it was going as

fast as a cheetah. On the go kart, I fell out a couple of

times but I got better. I also did volleyball with Miss Virginia.

Later at night, everyone was going for a bushwalk.

Everyone’s legs were getting tired. We got to the destination.

We looked at the view and the teachers were taking pictures.

There was so much long dry grass that it kept scratching my legs.

Then we went back to base camp. I brushed my teeth and went to bed.

When we woke up the next morning we got ready for the day.

Then the bell rang for breakfast. We went to eat.

When we finished our breakfast we had free time.

When the free time was over I got dressed for kayaking.

When I onto the kayak, I was so scared because people

were saying there was an eel. People had to help me with

the kayaking because I last did kayaking back in 2017.

After kayaking, we did the balance island.

Everyone did balance island. I was so scared that

when I had completed walking

over the bridge, I said “I was done to

Miss Paton” (The person in charge of the

balanced island). 

After balance island, we did the confidence course.

Mrs Dale explained the confidence course.

Then when it was my turn to do the

confidence course I was scared like a plane crashing. Then

Mrs Dale said that I could do each part whenever I liked.

So that’s what I did. 

Next was raft building with Mrs MacDonald.

My group got into two teams and we tried to make a raft.

At the end when we were done we tied the

raft together but it was too late. Then Mrs Kopua

said that the people who want to go on the water slide can. 

I didn’t want to go on the water slide. So I took a shower.

My friends and I weren’t going on the water slide,

so we decided to play in the lounge.  

Then we had dinner. Then we brush our teeth and went to bed.

In the morning I woke up to the sound of the people in my cabin talking.

I got ready for the day. Then we had breakfast.

The last activity was for my group was archery.

When it was my turn I fired the arrow and it

landed on the blue and red parts of the target.

Then we had biscuits. Then we packed everything

we owned and put our bags outside. The bell rang for lunch.

We had burgers and fries. After lunch we had our skits.

We did them. Then we went on the bus and went back to CTK.

I was so happy to see my Brother and my Mum.

Overall I enjoyed camp and I am looking forward to the next one.
