 My adventures at camp

 

I can smell the salty ocean sitting on the edge of the ferry.  Every one around me is excited. Rm 28 and syndicate D are on a ferry heading to Motutapu camp at around 9:00am. The reason why we are going to camp is for all the experiences and opportunity's. We will be doing lots of fun activity's like high ropes, survivour and many more.

 

Once we hoped off the ferry we got into our groups. I was in 28c and our group parent was Mr Peterson who is Andrews dad. We head off to start the 6.5 km walk to the camp. No one wanted to do the walk I think except for Mr Crowhurst who led every one there and some of the parents. 

 

When we got there every one wanted to look around but instead we started our activity's First we went to orienteering and it was kinda boring. After orienteering we had sailing and that was fun. That was a great first day of camp, and after that we had nachos for dinner and went to our night time activity which was spotlight. Once that finished we had supper but I forgot my mug. I asked a teacher if I could use a spare one and she said yes, but then a dad came out and said “ who was the little boy with out a mug so I put my hand up. So did Jerry and he got the mug. 

I had a good nights sleep and woke up ready for day 2. We had our breakfast and I had cereal. After that we all sat on the stairs and moved on to our first activity which was raft building. Our boat sank because Jerry broke the main part of it. Once that was over we had some morning tea and then moved on to rock climbing. I climbed to the top of 2 and I had lots of fun but then sadly the bell rang and it was lunch. For lunch we had sandwiches but I only had a slice of bread with peanut butter on it. Our next activity was confidence course. Kim's mum was in charge of that and we had to work together as a team. I think that our team bet the other team because we bet there time. We went to the boat shed   for kayaking. I hated having to put on the saturated wet suit that was like ice stuck to your skin. Kayaking was fun how we got to play soccer in the water with our paddles.

 

Dinner that night was sticky chicken with potatoes. It was delicious. That day there were some fake murders because it is a game that the teachers did with us and we had to figure out who the murderer was. Our night time activity was the Burma trail. Some people were afraid of it and it was fun. When we went to bed we all had our heads up but then Miss Mudford  came in and we slammed our head on the pillow.

 

It was day 3 and we had the funnest activity's today but first we had breakfast , I had cereal again and as usual we went to our first activity which was high ropes. I found high ropes easy and could do push ups and all sorts. Then we went on to the gun walk which was cool to see all the guns but it was a tiring walk, for lunch we had hotdog's  and then went to archery. I wasn't that good at archery but I was alright. For the last and final activity we had survivor. Survivor was cool because we got to jump and roll in the mud. Dinner was spaghetti bolonagse and dessert was jelly and ice cream. Still the murders went on and no one knew who it was.

 

Our night time activity was hall games. That is where you play games in the hall like rat and cat and chinese wall. We went to bed and we had our electives for the last full day. I chose frisby golf, movie and beach bum. For frisby golf my team had Keanu, Dion, Fergus, Mitch and me. Our group won. Dion, Keanu and I then went to the movie and we watched Alvin and the chipmunks. After that was beach bum and I built a dam with sam and some other kids.

 

When that was over we had a delicious roast with kumras peeled by my group, potatoes, peas, corn and gravy. That night was the night of the camp concert. It was so funny and Motutapu idol won. We went to bed and in the morning packed our bags.

 

We said our last good bye to camp Motutapu and left for the 6.5 km walk. We got on the ferry and waved to Motutapu island. On the shore we could see heaps of parents waiting for there kids. That was the best camp ever.
