Camp recount

The bus trip was boring, long, bumpy, and the scenery was old. Enough of that stuff let’s fast forward this trip to the exciting part. We were walking along the sandy beaches of Serpentine. Our class stopped throw our bags onto the ground and started a game of chain tag and seaweed this was really hard as we were running on the sand. We walked a bit further picked up rubbish walked a bit more, STOP RIGHT THERE !!! This is too boring I shall do you a favor and skip the miserable and long walk.

It was now or never we ran as fast as our legs would carry us to get our rain jackets and from there we were warm and dry. But now we had to challenge ourselves by building and lighting a fire in the rain. We succeeded in the challenge, buried our fire, and made the delicious tasting damper on the other fire. Mine was cooked to perfection- if I do say so myself it was the best damper I have ever made, actually.

The next thing we did was swimming. It was so cold but so fun. We played lots of games until my finger and toes went completely numb. The games were awesome, tug of war was my favorite though. We won most of the rounds though, GO GIRLS!!! Once we dried off and got warm we did more survival challenges.

We were going to build our hut a little differently to the others. Of course, all the other huts were teepees, but ours, ours was going to be different, ours was going to be the best, the winner of them all... We struggled to build an underground hut.

The result was not as good as I expected it to be though, but it still looked really cool.

After that, we had to do more walking until my dreams came true and we arrived at camp. The flies we were sleeping in were already set up. We put out our beds and made ourselves at home. We did a few more activities and before we knew it, it was dinner. We had to cook our own dinner, which was Spag bol, and it was delicious! After the yummy dinner, we set off to play spotlight and walk through a nightline. The nightline was sooooooo scary, especially when someone jump-scared me. Once I finished that, I had almost lost my voice fully. After my horrifying experience, I set off to play spotlight. I was in for the first round, it was really easy to spot people as there were not many hiding spots.

Once that was over and done with it was time for bed. Oh boy, how am I supposed to explain how horrible that was! The temperature was appalling!

I finally got to sleep but only had like 2 hours of it.

We got up at 6.30 in the morning to do exercise. Well, the running was fun but the getting up early was not! Breakfast was porridge it was really yummy at first but after about 3 spoons it was enough. I threw it away and my problems were solved.

A little later in the day, we played a few games and then the one and only Ocean Olympics came on. We played lots of games and my favorite had to be the egg catch. After lots and lots of fun challenging games. We won a trophy and lots of fruit bursts. Now it was time to leave this camp with loads of fun memories.
