Thinking About camp by Buster

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was the mountain biking and the abseiling.

I enjoyed these things because the mountain biking made me feel really good and fast and both these things were like something I've never experienced before.

Something that was a challenge for me was the mountain biking.

This was hard because it was really hard for my legs and they hurt a bit sometimes.

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was… the flying fox and I enjoyed the abseiling.

I enjoyed these activities because they were fun. I liked the flying fox because it went really fast and the wind was blowing through my hair.  I liked the the abseiling because I enjoyed bouncing down the cliff on my feet.  it was a long way down.

Something that was a challenge for me was…doing the river crossing.

This was hard because…the water was freezing and my shoes and socks were wet and it was hard to balance holding on to Colin, Ali and Johnny.

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was… the flying fox.

I enjoyed this because...I felt the butterflies in my stomach as I went down the wire and I felt the wind rushing into my face.

Something that was a challenge for me was…racing Cormac down the hill to tag Yea Rin.  We were doing a rescue race.  Yea Rin had to piggy back Sarah T. We won!

This was hard because…Cormac was very fast.

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was… riding the bikes.

I enjoyed this because I learnt how to ride a bike.  Before I went to camp I could not ride a bike. It was a bit scary learning to ride because when I went down the hill I thought I would crash!

Something that was a challenge for me was…crossing the river.

This was hard because…the water was moving fast over my legs and feet.  The water went inside my shoes and got my pants wet too.

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was… the water slide 

I enjoyed this because it was so much fun going really fast
 down the water slide with BUBBLES.

Something that was a challenge for me was…doing the low ropes.

This was hard because…we had to get to the other
 side with out touching the ground and falling off the platform.

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was…the water slide, going biking and abseiling were the best things about camp.

I enjoyed these because...if was fun going down the water slide really fast and I liked it when I jumped going down the rope when I was abseiling.

Something that was a challenge for me was…the archery

This was hard because…it was hard to get the arrow right on target and to pull the string back because it was so tight.

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was… the water slide

I enjoyed this because..I never went down a slide that was very long before.  This water slide was 100 meters long! I also enjoyed it because it was very fast.

Something that was a challenge for me was…the mountain bike

This was hard because…we had to go over a lot of rocks and it was bumpy and I almost fell off because I lost my balance.

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was…the water slide and swing at the low ropes.

I enjoyed these because... I got really muddy on the rope swing when I fell in the mud and it made me laugh.  On the water slide i raced Buster and we collided at the end of the water slide and we laughed together.  It was great fun.

Something that was a challenge for me was…trying to keep our bunk room tidy!

This was hard because…the buddies in our bunk room didn't put their clothes in their suit case they just dumped them on the floor!

Thinking About camp by Jessica

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was… the water slide and the abseiling.

I enjoyed these because... I'd never done abseiling before and I liked going down the cliff in the bush while the birds were singing abound me. I liked the water slide because it had lumps at the end and it made my tummy feel funny!

Something that was a challenge for me was…abseiling was also a challenge for me.

This was hard because…I'm afraid of heights but I did it anyway.  To start with I felt nervous, I didn't even trust the instructor.  At the bottom I felt yay I've done it!!!

Thinking About camp by Andrew

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was…water slide and the abseiling.

I enjoyed this because...we got to go 10 meters down for the abseiling and I really enjoyed going down on the rope. The water side was fun because you go down the hill on your tummy at 100 m per second!!! Not really that fast but it was fast.

Something that was a challenge for me was…the low ropes activities were a challenge for me.

This was hard because…one of the challenges was hard.  We had to work together to get everyone over a log between to posts.  Our plan was little people go first. The big people lift the smaller people on the tire.  Everyone did it except Angus because he got a splinter in his hand:-) 

Thinking About camp by Johnny

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was playing on the water slide and crossing the river.

I enjoyed this because the water side is fast and fun.  I also liked racing on the water slide.

Something that was a challenge for me was making my own pizza.

This was hard because I had to choose what to put on my pizza and work with Colin.

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was the water slide.

I enjoyed this because I beat Mr. Harrison in a race and the slide is slippery, you slide very fast on it.

Something that was a challenge for me was doing the bike ride.

This was hard because the road had holes and it was bumpy.

Thinking About camp by Aria

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was the water slide.

I enjoyed this especially when I was racing down on my dad's back!  And I liked the water slide because it was one hundred meters long!

Something that was a challenge for me was abseiling.

This was hard because it was down a steep hill (I mean cliff) and when we had to jump down past the tree roots it was tricky.  I felt excited because I had done something that I was a bit afraid of.

Thinking About camp by Tayler

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was the one hundred meter water slide.

I enjoyed this because it was really long and when you went down all the detergent sprayed up in your face and you couldn't see where you were going.  Yes that was FUN.

Something that was a challenge for me was at the camp concert when we had the cookie on our forehead and we had to get it into our mouth.

This was hard because at one point the biscuit went over my eye and you had to move your mouth and face around in awkward positions.  I was laughing.

Thinking About camp by Sarah D

Something that I enjoyed at camp was the water slide and the archery, the abseiling and the flying fox!
The reason I enjoyed these things is because they were challenging activities and when I did them I felt proud of myself.

Something that was hard at camp was the bike ride because I was worried about falling off going down the hill going too fast because the brakes were stiff on my bike.

Thinking About Camp by Cormac

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was… the abseiling.and the water slide.

I enjoyed these because it was fun going down and when you got to the bottom you knew that you could do it and I wanted to do it again.

Something that was a challenge for me was…crossing the river

It was hard because…there were lots of rocks at the bottom and they were slippery too.

Thinking About Camp by Annabel

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was… I really enjoyed the water slide and the abseiling.

I enjoyed these because  I was surprised that I could do the water side with a plastic bag over the plaster on my broken arm. The water slide was so long and very different from a normal side. 

Something that was a challenge for me was… the low ropes when you had to beat another person to the tree.

It was hard because… it was hard to hang on to the rope when it wobbled.

Thinking About Camp by Charles

The activity I enjoyed the most at camp was the flying fox because it went really, really fast.

My biggest challenge at camp was before we even got to Pudding Hill.  I got a fish hook stuck in my knee at Rakaia Gorge.  I had to go to Methvern to get it taken out.  It was very painful, but I was back at camp soon and i didn't really miss out on much except the spa pool.

Thinking About Camp by Fraser

The activity I enjoyed at camp was the archery.
I enjoyed this because it was fun and exciting.  I liked shooting at the target.  I like shooting games.

An activity that I did at camp that was a challenge was doing the low rope things.
The ropes was a challenge and I needed help from the group to get over the high bar.
Something I found hard at camp was doing the biking because it was hot and i got really thirsty.
