Camp reflection

 Introduction

Coming to school in the morning with all our luggage is really hard. You have to like carrying all our stuff into the bus. When we got to school us year 7 and 8 went to the hall just for roll call and to check if all of our stuff is here. After that we all loaded our stuff into the bus and said our farewells. It was hell of a sad roller coaster leaving our family but we were coming back anyway.  

 Monday 

Firstly we all went to the bus and I chose to sit next to the window and hope. We all sat and I thought it was maybe time to have a snack and munch on it. After that we jumped onto the Auckland highway and followed the signs until we got near hamilton. Everyone was so excited no one could sleep. We saw so many beautiful views and we saw a little town and saw restaurants. After another long ride we got to Hamilton and did a pitstop at the gas station. Then we saw the big sign raglan and then I was so excited. “ Yess were nearly there,” Seni said. We went past a sign then we went past a gas station heading in the direction for raglan we went to a one way bridge. We went past and we thought the bridge was gonna break. When we got there we all unloaded the luggage onto the grass bit near the pool. Later after that we all went and put our luggage in the gym and walked into the hall. Jenny and Tony were the managers of the camp. They told us the rules and other important things we should and shouldn't do. After that we ran and chose our dorms. We choose the first one. We all changed into shorts and went for a half and hour walk to the beach. I was scared walking down the rocky path downhill. When we got to the beach we all were playing in the sand then we hopped in the water. This big wave hit me and I nearly drowned and my slipper floated away. Ana found a pair and Metui found the other one.

I held Maria and Ana so tight because I was afraid to drown. We were soaked when we walked up the rocky pathway. We got there and we rinsed off and jumped in the pool and played a few games. Then we all went for a shower and we went to eat dinner. It was so fun !      

Tuesday 

On tuesday some kids went in the morning for a beach walk. We woke up and brushed our teeth and went to look at the beautiful view of the sea. Then we went on the tramp and jumped while looking at the view.  After that we went to have some breakfast. We had peaches, cereal , a sweet box and toast. After that we got into 3 groups then we had to rotate into orienteering , kyakining and sport.  We played volleyball. I did not go kayaking because I chose to do orienteering twice. Then we went to the pool and started swimming and then we went to the slide. Soon after they went kayaking I went  to orienteering again. After that, I went for another swim. Eventually it was time for going in for a shower and dinner. So we all went for a shower and got into our tracks ( track pants and shirt) Then we went to have dinner. After that we all went to watch a movie altogether for 1 hour. As soon as we finished the movie we ran to the room for a little surprise birthday for Lily. It was her birthday. Us girls Maria, me, Ana, Ahi, Syriah - Lee  and Hope gathered some snacks and waited til midnight and surprised her. “ Surprise lily” ! She got scared for a sec but then she saw us all gather around her. Also we pranked her by taking an oreo, taking the white filling out and adding toothpaste but she didn't fall for it. Later that midnight we were all just talking about things and what we were gonna do the next day.

Wednesday

Wednesday morning  we all glanced up and Brushed our teeth. Soon after that we walked out of our dorms to have breakfast. We had  breakfast finished then cleaned up and walked into the hall  and chilled 1 minute later they played music and we all started to dance. After our lesson we grabbed us a board each and went knee high into the water. We got onto the boards at first it was scary but then it was fine. I tried to stand up and I fell into the water “ Splash , Splish” The water splashed. Woow for the first time I felt like I was gonna drown but I had a pfd life jacket. Soon we left with James and Miss had to lie on all of us  to fit in. We got back to camp and jumped in the pool and the slide. When we finished we went for a shower and left for rock climbing when we did rock climbing it started to rain again. It was very fun for rock climbing and we played some sports after that. We played volleyball.
