Finally, we were at camp I had so much energy that I was the first to get off the bus. On Wednesday, November 6th I went to Chosen Valley Christian Camp, it was a 1-hour drive! On the bus, I was jumping around on my seat not because I was excited but because the road was so bumpy.
The first thing we did was to take our bags to our cabins. In each cabin, there were seven people. The people in my cabin were Rhianne, Betty, Kanan, Ana, Lesina, Elina and me. As soon as we got into our room we chose a bed to sleep in. There was an extra bed for our stuff.
Later after settling in we had an assembly where the manager of Chosen Valley, Lyndon told us where we could go and where the out of bounds areas were. Then we were taken around the camp area to see where each activity was. We went around looking at all the fascinating activities. One of them was the confidence course which I was very eager to try.
Later we were assigned to our first activity. My first one was the Go-Karts. On my first try, I had fun, but I thought that they were too fast for my weight so I didn’t try again. Lots of people had a ton of turns but for me, I didn’t want to.
Next, we did some volleyball and had some fun on the playground. I didn’t really like playing volleyball so I just had some time on the playground.
We finally had dinner for the first night at camp. The dinner was delicious Roast chicken and potatoes and gravy. We were given a table to sit at for the rest of camp. The teachers picked different tables for students to go and collect their food.
Late at night, we went for a bushwalk up a long hill. Me and my friends became very exhausted even though we were only halfway. It was dark we weren’t allowed to go into the forest.
The next day I did kayaking. It was so much fun. We each got an oar and went into a boat. My boat went really fast. Me and Elina had a race and I won.
Next, we did balance Island where you go across a bridge and along a wire. I was one of the people who finished balance island. We also did the Rope maze. On the rope maze, you were given a hook and belt to use. To do the maze you must clip it onto the pole with its colour and try to work your way through the maze. We had to finish at the colour we started at. I finished that as well.
After that, I went to the confidence course which I loved. I went first and was confident that I could finish and guess what I finished the second level. I was the only one to finish blue without falling in.
My last activity of the day was raft building, which I think was the HARDEST activity. We were split into two teams. My team were so close to getting someone onto the raft.
Later, me and some others went for a shower while others went onto the water slide. I had a nice warm shower. When I got out I felt so refreshed. When I was ready I went to scare my friends by putting a blanket over my head. My friend Ana was actually scared and thought I was not touching the ground. She screamed so loudly she nearly made my ears pop! When she found out that it was just me we went out into the lounge area. I laid my blanket out onto the floor and made a blanket angel ( a snow angel on a Blanket). We were just sitting on the couch when some of the teachers walked by to set up the dining hall. I went to get some warm clothes and played in the playground. First, we all ran to the flying fox and I got the first turn. WHEEE!!! I zoomed across the flying fox up into the air. We were tired and we went to our cabins to have a rest.
After an hour the bell rang. We all ran out into the field ready for dinner. The year fives of CTK got to go into the dining hall first. We grabbed our cutlery, went and sat down at our tables and waited for the teacher to let us get our food. The food we had that night were Nachos. The food tasted so good. I was the first person at my table to finish my food. We finally finished dinner and everyone rushed to their dorms for some quiet time. We needed to settle down and get ready to sleep. My dorm was very quiet that night and we fell asleep first.
I was the fourth person awake the next morning. For the last day we had one activity. My activity was Archery. Archery was the activity that I was most excited about. I had a lot of fun firing the arrows.
After the activity we had to clean up before having lunch. First we had to clean up our rooms, pack up our stuff and bring it out. Kanan was the first person to finish packing. She brought her stuff out of the room. Me and Rhianne brought our stuff out and started to sleep on our pillows. We were so tired.
Finally we had burgers and chips for lunch. They were delicious. When we finished, we went up for seconds. Unfortunately we didn’t get any so we put down our bowls and went for a group photo.
Now it was time to perform. For the camp concert the girls in CTK including me did E Minaka Ana. This was quite embarrassing for me even though there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone had to perform something.
After everyone performed we were allowed to go onto the bus. We went into the bus and went straight to the back so we could all sit together on the way back. We watched a movie called RIO. That was the end of CAMP. I had a lot of fun at camp and I was so glad to be back home.
