Camp

 Yr 10 Camp Blog

Greetings,

Last week (22-25 June) Yr 10s trekked off on an Outdoor Ed. trip to Boyle River.

As soon as we arrived, we had a conversation about safety and expectations, then we went into our camp groups and played some ‘get to know you’ activities.

For breakfast we had toast.

Dinner consisted of Macaroni and cheese, nachos/chilli and chicken fried rice.

We slept in bunk rooms, I shared a room with Mya, Paige, Chloe, Daisy and some of the year 13 leaders.

We had a range of indoor and outdoor activities which included going on a walk in nature, shelter building, swamp crossing, fire starting, the amazing race, flying kiwi, orientering, night line and solo.

The best experience I had on camp was going on a walk in nature because that reminded me of Project K, I also enjoyed the night line and solo although they got boring in the end because it lasted too long.

I was most challenged by the long get to know you activities, there were too many and they became unnecessary.

Staff involved on camp carried out a range of duties which included keeping us in line and safe, setting up activities, running the whole camp ect.

Overall camp wasn’t as bad as I expected but it was still not great as it was cold, loud and too crowded, I did however like the night times and when we got to go on walks.
