Camp term 4 2019

Hey welcome back to my blog. Last week I spent Tuesday to Friday at the Wainui Camp. Camp was really fun. There was so much fun things that we could do. We stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights I enjoyed myself, but today i'm going to be telling you my four points from camp. What I found challenging, what I was grateful for, what my favorite thing was and what I Learnt.

Challenging.
It was the beginning of camp me and Glen were talking on the bus. after going down hill for a bit and getting on some straight road the bus stopped. It looked like we were in the middle of no where. We got out of the bus and walked across the road. There were several instructors by this huge hill ready to take us on the 6 km tramp. I had no Idea what to expect but to my discoveries we had to walk up a huge hill. It felt like we were walking forever, and stopping occasionally. All of the beginning was uphill. but after a little bit we had made it to the top. The rest of the way was either flat, down hill or the smallest bit of uphill. The beginning of the tramp was what I found challenging.

Grateful.
Our parent helper for my activity group was called Steve. Steve was one of my friends Cleo's dad. He was really good help for me. In high ropes he made me less nervous and taught me how to properly belay- supporting someones rope in high ropes. In orienteering he helped me and my friend Katrina to find what we were looking for. In coastering  he helped me climb on the rocks. He was such a huge help. He raised my confidence level with most activities we did. With out him I would haven't been able to do most of the activities. Steve the parent helper is who I'm grateful for.

Favorite.
The thing that I absolutely enjoyed the most about camp was all the activities we could do. Like having a timetable to follow was so fun. I would always have to check it to know what I was doing next. Plus the activity group I was in was a good one. I had one of my best friends Joe with me. And when I struggled. they would always cheer me on and help me do it. The activities that I could do and my activity group was my favorite part of camp.

Learnt.
This is kind of a funny story but when me and Katrina were doing orienteering we tried to cross a seasonal water way. This was just a tiny stream with some mud by it. I tried to leap in but then to my surprise my whole foot just sunk in the mud. I was so angry. my good shoes were no even dieter then my bad shoes. We walked over to Steve and he told me to go wash it and it it back on. I didn't want to wear a wet shoe but it was my only choice. After that activity we had some down time so I wore my scuffs. The next day we had water activities so I didn't my good shoes but by the time I came back They were dry. So I learnt to never under estimate a mud puddle.
This is what the camp looked like
