Camp recount

Hello viewers This weeks writing about the time we went on camp. It was a fun time I don't know really what to say about it but enjoy my camp story!

Camp Recount 

October 27, Today was the day, the day Ruru (my class) goes to camp! Everyone got to school early in the morning. We played around until the bell rang. We did the roll and jumped on the bus everyone was so excited but first we had to wait a 45 min ride. Once we had arrived we sat down for morning tea until we realized we had to do another 1 hour 30 mins or so walk but luckily we got to learn about Maori stuff along the way to living springs and it was pretty fun. After a while of walking we arrived at a farm and there were Pigs/Peppa pig and chickens. We sat to eat lunch but everyone was petting Peppa pig because they were adorable and fun to play with, after that you could say we “hiked” to living springs and once 1 exhausted classroom arrived everyone was so glad. We got a bit of free time to explore the place and set up our bunk rooms and my bunk buddies were Blake A, Emmett, Aiden, Te hari, Vern and me. After a while we all went into the main room aka the auditorium and we did a fun and exploring activity I like to call surviving with a team. Ok whatever lets move on so basically you have to find these hidden numbers on the map and you have to go find them on foot. There was 12 number to find we gladly found 10 in 45 mins but we still didn’t win anyways after that I could smell the yummy food and we started to eat dinner and by this point anything is yummy to me and I ate with my friends and my dad because he also went on camp with me. After the yummy dinner we went swimming and luckily it was a inside swimming pool and it was not that cold. after playing with my friends I finally gone out we were a bit early so we could chat in our bunk rooms then it was time for the auction I didn't know if acution was first or the Ruru's got talent but we did not auction. It was such a mess lots of yelling but I decided not to bid because if they all waste there money ill have more money then the other then it was the Ruru’s got talent we were waiting for this moment after everyone else it was our turn and just by looking at my friends they looked nervous to and to be honest so did I. We were doing magic tricks and we were doing very well. We got 45/40, 5 extra points for such a good performance because Jf topped it of at last he did suck a amazing trick. We were positive we came first but after that amazing night we finally went to sleep or did we? Well that answer is that the other boys' bunk rooms were way to loud we couldn’t get to sleep until 1am but I managed to get some rest.

It is now day two of camp. We woke up early, somewhere near 5-6am. We got about 2 hours sleep and I was the first to wake up until Aiden woke up, then Blake A, then Vern, then Emmett, but Te hari was in a deep sleep. We chatted for a bit then Te hari woke up and we started getting dressed then everyone went into the auditorium for the role and we went to the cafeteria for breakfast and for today we have cereal fruit and bread and boy it was delicious. The leader said we were going outside the whole day so I made sure I ate lots. After that we then again went in the auditorium and there were 4 activities about one hour each long every tribe gets to do them. My Tribe (Tribe 4) went to low ropes where you get in a group of three and there were a couple low ropes you had to cross and if you do then you pass. my group of three was Dwayne, Jf and me. Then after awhile we did around the ropes where we have to do all of them with out falling and we get to grab something from the prize bag where you can get 5 camp dollars, 10, 20, 50 and 100 first Jf went and did finished it but was unlucky and got 5 dollars then me I was really lucky and got 100 dollars and then Dwayne did and got 20 not bad. After low ropes we ate morning tea, cake and some fruit. It was quick and fast after that we did rock climbing inside and it was really fun. My partner was Nixon. We were the catcher or you could say spotter just in case I fell. And I did great wall, one of the hardest then after me and Nixon did it for a bit and then everyone had to attempt around the world. That was REALLY hard. Nobody even came close except Tayla (good job!) Then we learnt about plants and trees and what they are good for. It was pretty cool and we got to explore and find cool rocks or cool leaves. Then we had to draw a leave we found and then we went to lunch, for lunch we ate more fruit and also nachos which was yummy it was my first time and then we did team recreation games I think it was called where you get split in two teams and there are a bunch of team activities we did we first did a cobweb where there's ropes connected like a cobweb and then we had to climb through the holes but we can only do one hole once but since we have more players we can do one twice. It took us awhile but we finally did it after that we did another cool but challenging looking one where we had to climb over this big as wall like 2 meters It took way to long because the last person was always the hardest to climb up but we finally did it Jf was our savior because the was the last person and he climbed it. Next we did one where there's like a 4 meter pole and a tire around the pole we had to lift it up, remove the tire then put it back on this was quite easy. Jf was on Jaydah’s back then Jf went up, got it out and then did it again in reverse. We had time for 1 more and that was fitting 8 people on this small platform for 5 seconds and then your all done. it took us about 5 mins and we did it then we went all the way back to eat dinner and then we went to swimming that was boring then it was the fun part we get to watch the movie sonic but first we did auction for candy and stuff then we get to watch the movie Sonic the hedgehog we watched about half way until we went back to our bunks and went to bed and luckily we sleeping at about 12:00. 

Today was the last day of camp. Some people were super excited to go but some people wanted to stay. For me I was sad to go because camp is basically a 3 day sleepover with your mates/friends. Everyone got dressed and went to the auditorium and we did the role like every morning. It was now breakfast and we had toast and cereal like usual then after we ate we got a bit of free time then we played the animal survival game which is really fun you get to choose an animal you hunt or get hunted by and the highest rank is wolf which can kill any animal. I chose the lowest rank so the hunter that comes somewhere in the game won’t kill me then there's these stations of food and water you have to find them all and I did so I was proud. After that game we had morning tea and for morning tea we had something delicious that I completely forgot and then we had free time to pack up and stuff then we had lunch and I also completely forgot what we ate or if we even ate lunch but then it was time to go home luckily the bus came and we did not have to do the walk. We went to school then I went home and that's the 3 day camp we had c:

That was my fabulous story when I was on camp at living springs it was truly a fun time!
