2017 Year 8 Camp.

2017 Year 8 Camp!

On the 24th - 26th of May we have our annual Year 8 Camp! We had the opportunity to camp at the Kauaeranga Valley Christian Camp grounds. Throughout the year 8 students, We were all set up into different teams. Thames, Coromandel, Kauri and Kauaeranga. Lucky me I was in Kauri! In Kauri there was 6 in each team, Kauri A & B. Each team had almost the same amount in their own team.

Out of all of the activities I got to say I enjoyed Go Karts and Paintball. Paintball was the first activity we had for our second day of camp, It was fun. We all had energy and were pumped to run around and shoot each other. It felt like betrayal shooting my own teammates but I had fun, Heaps of fun. Until out of nowhere, I got shot in the neck by Christopher! I did have a little sook but I just wanted my revenge. Sadly I didn’t get it but I will one day, hopefully. Other than that, I had the best time with my teammates alongside of me.

Go Karts, Our second to last activity to accomplish on our task. We all had the chance to go around the track once, To get the hang of things and how it feels to ride one. Once our whole team had one turn we then had the choice to either have a timer or have two more times going around doing whatever we want. I chose a timer, Just so I could beat the previous time record. All I had to beat was 39 seconds, It was pretty easy as it was so fast. I was so excited when I making going at a good time, Zooming past cone by cone. Going around the bend then boom! 38 seconds on the clock, Even I was surprised cause I thought I was as slow as a snail.

After a couple of days as we got back home, I started to miss Kauaeranga. The beautiful view and the activities, It was a once and life time thing. It was fun, Getting to know people I don't usually hang out with at school. We worked as a team and we humbled ourselves even more, I reckon we even got a little closer than before camp.

The awesome Year5/6 camp.

Walt: Organize my ideas into paragraphs and them together.

Having fun and getting wet is what the year 5/6 children did at camp. Every year the year five and sixes get the opportunity to camp with two friends in tents for two nights and three days. Well I’ll tell you what we did at camp this year.

This year was the 25th anniversary for the year 5 and 6 camp. In 1991 the year 5 and 6 camp started, some of our parents were in camp  back in the old days. This year was the most exciting year that I have ever had. It was so cool because I was in Miss Lavakula team and I was a leader in Honest Squad. I also slept in a tent with two of my friends.

(Cameo and Patricia).

My highlight of camp was kayaking because we got to choose if we wanted to go on a single or a double. Well I chose a single, at first I tried to go past the buoy but instead my kayak flipped over and hit my head. It was so sore, but I still end up passing it, somehow.

My second highlight of camp was the concert night because I got to finally see the other teams dance, they all were amazing but I thought we were better and the BOMB! After all the activities we have an extra practice for the people or group who needed a little bit more practice.

This is a recount about what we did at camp this year. Camp this year was so amazing, I really hope you like my recount about my camp this.
