Me at camp.



Bree, Ariana and I + year fours and fives  from school went to Hanmer Forest Camp, on March 9 th 2016. We were  at camp for three days It  was an overcast morning with a hint of blue in the sky.  I was happy to go on camp because this was my first camp. I was wearing my baseball cap which is going to be a collectors item, and I am going to get lots of money for it.  It was a two hour drive in my Mumś car to get to camp.  The girls kept on talking for the whole two hours, even when I asked them to be quiet.


Once I found my bunk room with Hunter and called dibs for beds, we then started our first activity.  My group went tree climbing.  I put on gear to climb up the tree, the gear was not comfortable because I felt like I was getting an atomic wedgie! .  I used the branches to pull myself up the tree, because I did not feel comfortable using the wood supports attached to the tree.  When I was happy at the height I reached, I pushed myself away from the tree and was lowered to the ground by the ropes.  Lucy almost made it to the top of the tree, she probably felt quite proud of herself.

When we got back from tree climbing we had home baking.


For dinner on the first night we had lasagna, it did not taste as great as my step mumś.  

After dinner we went to the Hanmer Springs Hot pools where I went on the hydroslides.  I  kept on going backwards and closing my eyes and spinning on the slide.  I went on all of them. My favourite one was the dark slide, because you couldn’t see anything. The super ball was a 5/10 for me, because it was not that fast. The white hydroslide was OK I guess it was kind of like the dark one.  I was so tired from the hydro slides. Two hydro slides were really fast.


In the morning (6 0.0) I got up and went for a run until 7.00am with Mr M and the other kids from my group, it was a tiring start to the day.  When I got back from my run I had rice bubbles and Milo ™.   Then my group did Mission Impossible, I did not enjoy this activity because we had to solve this really difficult puzzle, we had to walk along logs and we had to do some activities without talking!  It was all about team building, and I found it really challenging because I like working with my friends.  After that we walked up Conical Hill and we ate free range blackberrys.  I wished we could´ve walked up the waterfall track, but we couldn´t because of the fire.

At camp I really only liked one thing,  the Hydroslide, because I am not scared of the water and going fast on water.  The camp would´be more enjoyable for me if the Mission Impossible involved decoding messages, giving us activities that we would not expect.
