Camp recount

 Good morning/Good afternoon bloggers

Today and yesterday I have been writing my camp recount. In this it's about camp and what we did.

Camp

On the 27 - 29th of October. My class Ruru went to camp (Living springs). In the morning we had to go on the buses to camp. The ride was about an hour long. Once we got to a place where the guides met us to walk in. We walked on flat ground for a while. Until we got closer to camp. After that, we stopped to have lunch at the living springs farm. When we walked more but some of the ground was not flat. We were walking on a hill. People were moaning that it was hard to walk up. Also there was sheep poo. Once we finished the walk we were at living springs. Me and Monica were prod we finished the walk. That Monica lay on her back. We are both puffed to.Afterwards we all had some time in bunk rooms. In my bunk room I had Me, Charlotte, Monica, Amelia and Shakima. We met in the auditorium for on to orienting. For that we had to look around for letters. Those letters were numbers. The letters were to make a sentence. When that was done we went on to do recreational activities. They were monorail, zip line, trampolines, rope and mini golf. I tried rope and trampolines with my friends. After that we went inside to have a camp money action. For the action the first thing was a crunchie and it sold for 1000 camp dollars. It was time for dinner and we had rice, curry, naan and beans. Then we went swimming at the pool. It was loud. The noises were talking, splashing water, water. Then we got out of the pool to get ready for the camp concert. My friend Monica, her act was her rhythmic  gymnastics routine. Me and Charlotte's act was knock, knock jokes. There were really great acts of talent. After the camp concert we got our Duffy books. Then it was time to go back into your bunk rooms and read your book.

Day 2

All of sudden it was the next day. The next day was super fun and busy. We had breakfast first before we went to activities with our tribes. The activities were at Don's shed. We walked there for about only 10 minutes. Are tribe person who was in charge of activities. Gave us a challenge to count the steps. There were 22 steps or 24 steps or 122 or 124 steps. I don’t remember the right one.  At Don’s shed the activities were Invites team building, Low ropes, Bouldering wall, Bush ecology. The order my tribe did it in was Invites team building, Low ropes, Bouldering wall and Bush ecology. The Invites team building was when 1 tribe was split into 3 groups to solve challenges. My group did the wall for this you had to get everyone over. But the last person couldn’t get help. We got everyone over but the people who already got over the wall had to help from the other side. The challenge we went to was the stumps. In this there were stumps. On the first we had to get everyone on them and off without touching the bottom.  The second time you had to do this with an buddies over. But not touching the bottom. The third time was when you had to do this with everyone in your group over. But not touching the bottom. The next challenge we went to was the toxic River. For this one we had to grab the rope from the middle of the river. After you got the rope you had to get everyone over the contrite without touching the bottom.We only got four people over we needed to go to the next activity. We had morning tea and lunch there. Lunch was nachos and morning tea was brownie and some fruit. It was similar to morning tea for afternoon tea. It was a fruit and lolly cake. So yummy. We walked back to living springs. At 5:30 it was dinner and we had burgers and some chips. At 6:30 we had another action. But at the start it was for people who haven’t bought anything at the auction. Then the rest of the action was normal type. At 8:00pm we had a camp movie. It was Sonic, the hedgehog. We watched the movie on our pj's with our pillows and blankets. 

Day 3 

All of sudden it was the next day. The next day was our last day. I was sad it was the last day. But I could see my family when I got home. First in the morning we had breakfast. The first activity was the recreational games. They were monorail, zip line, trampolines, rope, sports gear and mini golf. Me and my friends went on the rope and trampolines. While the adults were cleaning. After that fun we went to the auditorium. For Joseph to explain how the animal survival game works. There are small carnivores and herbivores also there are large carnivores and herbivores. And towards the end of the game bush fire, flood, disease and hunter. The carnivores tagged the herbivores. The large carnivores had 2 lives. The large herbivores had 4 lives. The small herbivores had 8 lives. Don’t remember how many lives the small carnivores had. The hunter has a wooden play gun. Once the hunter shot you you were dead. So then gave it your all lives. So we had to go to numbers. They were stations of food and water. The number had a tag thing with dots.  I got 5 before I died. Then after that we went to have pasta for lunch. It was pasta! Then me and my friends went outside for our last jump on trampolines. After we did that our suitcases were getting packed into the bus. Once we did that we traveled back to school. I saw Mum again yay and my brother. 

Camp was so fun I really enjoyed it. Picture of me on stumps
