Camp

 Intro ‘wake up’ my mom said it is time to go to camp I woke up got all my staff ready for five days and four night of camp after while I got all my stuff in my mum car the we drove of to the school and put all my stuff in the camp buse I and lot os od childrens are heading to raglan beach I was very excited.


Monday 

We are here. We went in our caben I was in the caber with Havea , Railey, Isi and two more children. We put all our staff on our beds. I was excited to start my days. First We had a chat in the whole then went down to the beach it was very fun we went in the wave and most of us got very wet but some lisited to the rules and stayed to the sand i went in the water but i did not go in the water to far and i did not get in trouble at the end of the day I talked to my mum for a few days.


Tuesday day

In the morning a lot of people woke up, had a walk down and up in the morning light at the beach but it was very cold and I had some fun but the most boring thing was we had to go back up the mountain. It was very tiring. But then when we got to the cabins it was breakfast time when we finished eating. We all were split in three groups. I was in group 2 and group 1 wes went first for kayaking. After a while it was my group to go kayaking. It was a short drive and started right away. Me and a friend I don’t know was on a kayak was me.           








Camp explanation

 School camp is a great place for children to learn a lot of things like kayaking, Swimming, bodyboarding and a lot more. Your children will have great food, they will have breakfast, Lunch, and dinner so you don’t have to worry about your children when they go to camp. 


Your kids will learn a lot of new things and they will also make new friends. Most of the time they will have a group and play different games that they can play. They will do orienteering, Sports games, Water games. Sometimes they will have free times where they can do what they want. 


Food they will be fed very well and I mean very well the teacher will encourage the children to eat some vegetables like a nice salad and they can also get sources with the food they get. Your kids will be feed breakfast, lunch, dinner, all the times


Play a lot. The kids will play a lot. They may go down the beach and play in the sand some might go in the water but only up to their knees. If the camp has a pool they may go in the pool once every two days. Sometimes the camp has a big gum for games like basketball or volleyball maby soccer. Sometimes in the meeting please the teacher may play with the kids like musical chairs, tach, and borde games.  


Sleep the camp have bunk bed so you and your friend will choose which bed they went to sleep if the camp has sheeps or cows in the night the poo from the animals will smell really bad if you go outside at night and breath it will smell like the sewers but it is from the poo from the animals.


At camp your children will do activities that they have not done before like shooting targets, The guns can be airsoft, Paintball, air rifles they may also do Archery. There are lot more activities that they will do like abseiling of like a 8 meter wall sometimes the camp may have a water slide to come down but also watch of of the poo if there is animals. The best part is that it was only partially funded by the parents ($70), and the rest was subsidized by the school. 


At night there will be somes games like night walks. time you may find glow worm and more animals. Some time for a treat they will do a Marshmallow roast on the stickers that you can get outside. I washed my stick before I roasted my Marshmallow.


And that is why it is a good place for your children to go to camp. It makes them learn a lot of things.
