Camp Reflection

This is my camp reflection. Hope you like please leave a comment. Point England school has had a senior camp for the last 23 years and this years camp some of the year five’s and year six’s like me, went to camp.The groups were Cooperators, The Force, The Band, Opstars, True Crew and Synergy. My group was Cooperators and my leaders names were Korobeau and Rebecca. We slept in tents outside the staff room, the people in my tent were Paris and Kaitlynne. Last week Wednesday till Friday we had camp. I have no idea why we had camp, but it was so fun.

 My first activity was to practise, our dance for the camp concert and blogging, about our practise then we had free time. When we had finished it was morning tea time then we had to go do our second activity that was roller skating, playing basketball and table tennis. I played table tennis which was lots of fun and hard to do. I waited until someone let me have a turn on the rollerblades, so I finally got a turn but when I let go of the wall I fell. Rollerblading is so hard but easy with the three wheeled one. Next was our third activity and our third activity was top town, if you want to know how to play top town this some of the things you need to do your team and a different team has a challenge, the first thing you need to do is get the bucket that is in the middle filled with unfilled water balloons and try fill up as many water balloons as you can. When you hear the horn then the person holding the bucket with all of the water balloons inside has to walk carefully to the middle and carefully put it down and run back to the mat. When the horn goes again then we use the boards to get to our battle place where the water balloons are and when the other team gets to their battle station then we can start throwing the water balloons at the other team. Once all of our water balloons are finished then we can go to the next place, we have to get the whole team to the other side using six wood and six strings two for each group then when everyone is over we go under the mountain and more very fun things. At camp you do cool activities like Get Lost. If you’re wondering how to play get lost well this is how you play it, you get into teams and the teacher gives you a clue and an ipad, then when the teacher says go you read the clue and take a photo of it, then you go find the next clue and go on and on and on. Then when you hear the horn you run back and make a movie in order with what you got on your ipad. For dinner on the first day we had hot dogs, and for dinner on Thursday we had burgers. Another activity is top town and thats a cool game, your team and a different team has a challenge, the first thing you need to do is get the bucket that is in the middle filled with unfilled water balloons and try fill up as many water balloons as you can. When you hear the horn then the person holding the bucket with all of the water balloons inside has to walk carefully to the middle and carefully put it down and run back to the mat. When the horn goes again then we use the boards to get to our battle place where the water balloons are and when the other team gets to their battle station then we can start throwing the water balloons at the other team. Once all of our water balloons are finished then we can go to the next place, we have to get the whole team to the other side using six wood and six strings two for each group then when everyone is over we go under the mountain and more very fun things. Some people couldn’t stay for the whole camp because they didn’t pay so after school when the bell went they would have to go home. My favourite activity was top town it was so fun. The activity we did on Thursday was kayaking but I didn’t have any togs so I went kayaking with my track pants and my t-shirt on. You have to go in the single or the double kayak with someone then you let other people have a turn on the kayak then when everyone has had a turn we had a swim and when we got back I had to change my pants and let it dry. After each day of doing activities we would go to the Glenn Innes pools have a swim then have a shower, on the first day I didn’t swim because I had no togs. But the second day I swam because Enyahlee gave me her swimming shorts and I wore my t-shirt and swam. On Friday we went to the Mangere pools I swam but I didn’t go on the slide. For lunch we had a sandwich and a cake it was cool at the Mangere pools. It was cold so I wore Enyahlee’s jacket so I can get warm. After we had a swim we went back to school and Mr Burt said some stuff then we had to go to the class that you were in get your netbook and take it to your class then go back to the hall. I was so excited that we had camp I’ve never been at a camp at school before. I said that I didn’t want camp to end. Next year I want to be a camp leader.
