Our last camp of primary school has been quite a blast, and we can say for sure that we are sad it has now passed. We did tons of fun activities!
On the first day, we went on a bus to Cave Hill Creek. The bus ride there was about 2 hours and 10 minutes long, but some people decided to bring games such as Uno. We stopped in between at Hannah Watts Park and had morning tea. After we got back on the bus, we had 1 more hour to go, and then we were there.
Activities we did:
- canoeing
- low ropes
- giant ladder
- map reading
- hut building
- bush art
- bush walk
- ultimate frisbee
- archery
CANOEING
We played great games, such as tag and who can collect the most ducks. At the end of the session, we jumped into the water, and we got soaked!
LOW ROPES
We were in groups of 3. One person did the course, and the other two had to spot them (make sure they didn’t fall) while they were doing the low ropes. There was even rock climbing!
GIANT LADDER
One of the most liked activities was the Giant Ladder, made up of large logs attached by a strong rope. It was 16 metres high. Many people found it a challenge, but they had a go and kept going, achieving their very best and having fun. When you’re not climbing up the ladder, you’re on the belay team. The belay team helps support the people climbing and allows them to go up and down safely. Before all that, we were given harnesses and helmets for safety reasons and learned how to put them on. Overall, Giant Ladder was really fun and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
MAP READING
For map reading, we found all the letters and things, but we didn’t finish figuring out the sentence.
HUT BUILDING
In hut building, we had to build huts out of sticks, branches, bark, and leaves. Then, once the session was almost up, the teacher would pour water all over the hut while we were inside to see if it was waterproof.
BUSH ART
We would go on a short walk to find sticks, leaves, and many other things. Then we would come back to the main area to build things, for example, a dream catcher, a nose tickler, and many more.
BUSH WALK
We had to walk up this very tall mountain. In some parts, it was very steep and muddy. Some people did slip on the way down, though, but they were fine! We were near an artificial waterfall. The view was really good, though.
ULTIMATE FRISBEE
We played frisbee just like normal frisbee. We were in 2 teams and just tried to score, but on the oval, which was the place we played on, there was so much kangaroo poo.
ARCHERY
We used a bow and arrow and tried our best to score. We played a game to see who scored the most points. It was super incredible!!
NIGHT ACTIVITIES
bush walk
trivia
movie night
BUSH WALK
It was really fun. We would walk up and down while looking at wildlife.
TRIVIA
We would get into groups that the teachers chose and answer questions together.
MOVIE NIGHT
It was fun. We watched the movie Cheaper by the Dozen 2, and it was good!!
