Camp was so fun i did every activity there was to do the rafting was so cold :) but it was fun except for when Miss King pulled me into the water
The high ropes wasnt actually that high and the low ropes were really really low ..The worst part of camp was the longdrops it was so so disgusting eww Miss King was really encouraging on camp she encouraged everyone to give the thing they fear a go and Esme faced her fear and finally after about 45 minutes she did the rope swing well done Esme good on you Im gonna be so sad when miss King leaves Tawaint :( Hopefully she will remember Room 2.
Camp! By Michaela
last week Piwakawaka went on camp. it was alot of fun.
The train ride there was pretty boring but the rest was so much fun.
When we first arrived we got onto the bus and went to where we would be staying for the night, that night we were staying at the cabins.. Once we got to the cabins we went inside and saw them... They werent very nice , but we didnt expect them to be. They were cold and dark because the one i was staying in , the heater didnt work and the light was broken.
When we were settled into our cabins we got on the bus and went to the rope swing and flying fox. The rope swing was so much fun , but the wait was boring. The climbing walls were also fun. We also did the high ad low ropes which was fun.
After that we went back to the cabins and had free time before dinner. For dinner we had beef , with beef sauce and rice, i didnt like it very much. Once we had dinner and tidied up , we went to Masterton pools, that was fun , although it would have been much more fun if the whole syndicate went.
We went back to where we were staying at about 8pm and had rice pudding and biscuits. Then we had some free time before bed. Going to bed was funny because we had to brush our teeth in the gross bathroom. Once we had gotten into our bunks we talked for agees. We were quite bored and could'nt get to sleep because it was so cold , so we decided to annoy the boys by singing some One Direction. It was funny because they were banging on the wall yelling at us!
The next morning we woke up to a scream.. It was Jimmy ,he had opened our door to scare us. We yelled at him to go away because it was only 6am, we went back to sleep for a while then woke up once again to , Ben , Jimmy, Josh, Denis and Keenan hitting spoons against cooking pots, it was so annoying! When we finally got up, we got ready to go to abseiling and rafting...
I didn't do the abseiling because it had been raining and i was too scared to slip. But rafting was so much fun, although when i jumped in the water it was so cold. Most people hopped out of the rafts halfway but Josh,Pratik, Lucy and made it to then end. Walking back was FREEZING!
That night we were staying at the tents.. There , we discovered the long drops.. All i have to say is EW EW EW!
We made fires that night to cook our burgers. They were yum! We also roasted some marshmallows.
OUR CAMP TRIP, By Emily
Last week we went on camp, we arrived at the train station at 7:40 to get on the train to Masterton. It was about a 2 hour train ride to the cabins where we were going to sleep first. Once we got off the train we rode in a bus to the cabins. Everyone put there bags in the cabins and then we got back on the bus to go to the rock climbing, rope swing and smaller abseiling. After everyone had done everything we went back to the cabins and got ready to go to the high ropes and low ropes courses. On the low ropes we played a few games and did the courses and on the high ropes we wore harnesses and walked across ropes high in the air until we got to the flying fox and zipped across. We walked back to the cabins and went to sleep for the next day.
We had dinner and then went back into our cabins at about 9:30. The next day we took a bus to the abseiling and rafting. The abseiling you go down a rope down a 27 meter cliff and at the rafting we went paddling down a river in rafts through rapids in the ice cold water. Then we went to the tents where we slept in the tents. For dinner we made a fire in groups and cooked burger patties ourselves. We played a few games and then some of us played spotlight before bed.
The next day we walked to the bivvies where we were going to sleep. We set up our bivvies in groups of about 2-4. Some people had really huge bivvies and some people had a lot smaller bivvies. Then we got ready to go out for a tramp. The tramp was about an hour long and around just under an hour back. At the top of the mountain there were rocks to climb and lookout to see the whole climb. It was an amazing view. We went back down and some people had a swim in the freezing river before it got late then we had dinner and went to sleep in the bivvies we made ourselves.
The last day we walked to where the bus picked us up and took us to the caving and the bigger flying fox. The caving you walked through a cave and got squished into tight places and climbed up rock faces using a rope similar to rock climbing. On the flying fox we had a harness a helmet, we got clipped to the line and we zoomed down and then got caught by some of the instructors and we'd walk all the way back up the hill to the top of the flying fox. Then we got on the bus and then got back onto a train all the way back to Wellington where we got picked up by our parents and went back home.
Camp was really fun and I'm so happy I went. We did so many fun activities and I did nearly everything but I wish I did do the abseiling but at least I still had fun.
