My experience at Woodend Camp
On Monday the 13th of February Tumu hub was lucky enough to go to Woodend Camp and this is how it went. At 6:30 am I woke up and packed the last things in my bags. I was jumping up and down with excitement. Then my mum said, “Monica in the car let’s go”. I grabbed my bag and hopped in the car.
When we got to school I met my friends at the gate and I put my bags in the big pile. Then I brought my baking up the stairs and put it in the box.
After prayer we got our bags and packed them in the bus and hopped into the bus. I was so excited I was screaming. On the bus I sat with my friend Emilie and we kept singing because it was a long bus ride. The bus dropped us off at Pegasus beach and we had to walk a 4km walk to camp. When we were walking all I could hear was complaining and singing. One of the teachers had to carry someone. It was crazy. We were not even half and I was over it. It was killing me
Finally we were there. I was so hot and tired but that did not stop me from rushing around the camp. I was so happy that we were finally here.
After we had a quick lunch we all gathered in the main hall and talked about what camp would look like and then we found out our activity groups. I was in group 2 with lots of my friends.
Soon after we went and found our bunk room I was in bunk room 26 with 8 girls Violet, Ashlyn, Oliva, Ivy, Clarie, Saide and me Monica. There was one other girl but she did not come.
There was this bell that the teacher would ring when we needed to come in for the next activity or to come in for food and when we heard it we had to run fast.
Over the 3 days and 2 nights we did lots of activities. My favorite was zipline. The higher I went the more scared I got. My harness was as tight as someone giving you a wedgie. My head was banging the roof like it was a drum. As Matt clipped me on I was hanging and then whoosh I went down the rope.
Then the time came when we had to go home. We were all so sad. It was so fun, I can not wait for next time.
Have you ever been on a school camp? Was it fun? What did you do?
