DAY ONE

On Tuesday 8th rooms three and seven went to Ohope Christian camp. We stopped of at Lake Okataina on the way to have lunch and for a short walk around to the spit. After lunch we all left for camp it was about an hour before we all arrived. Everyone was glad to be out of the cars after the long hours drive. We all made our beds and explored the campsite after everyone had explored the campsite we made off for the beach. At 5:30 we went to the Whakatane Aquatics Centre for a swim. We were allowed to go on the hydro-slide but it was far to slow for me. We all went to bed around 9:00. 

DAY TWO

Today room three went to the high ropes and the “Amazing Maze in Maize” while room 7 went fishing, kayaking and a walk to Shelly bay. The high ropes were really fun and high these are some of the names: the trapezes, walking across logs in mid air, swing from tyre to tyre in mid air and lots of others. Before we hit the high ropes we had to do some trust exercises. After about two hours we stopped and went to the maze it was so fun. My group gave up after we went to the haunted house. There was a little pig and dog at the maze. We had a walky talky, a map, two pieces of paper one with pictures and the other with questions. It was so much fun but I was very tired out from one day! We all started heading back to camp after a long day’s fun. At 5:30pm we set of for the Whakatane Aquatics Centre for another swim. This time the hydro-slide was a lot faster then the first day! One of the pools were really deep and no one could touch the bottom.

DAY THREE

Today room three went fishing, kayaking and a walk to Shelly bay. My group went kayaking first it was so fun. Kenny taught us how to kayak. We played heaps of games with Kenny like one when we had to try and get one of the rugby balls and through them at the opposite side to get them out until their team mates got them with a paddle. I jumped into the water to get the ball and it was cold! After we got back we all jumped into the showers. After everyone had their showers we set of to Shelley bay it was a long tiring walk but it was worth it. We had lunch on the beach and went for a wander. Some people in my group told me to eat a raw pipi. So I did it was gross!!!  Later on in the day we all set of for the Awakeri Hot Pools they were awesome. We were allowed to buy some lollies at the shop while we were there. When we turned up the Hot Pools weren’t that hot but as it got later it started to get warmer. At the Hot Pools we had a barbecue it was yummy!! It had been a long day and we all started heading back to camp. As soon as we got to camp we all got ready for bed. (Yawn)

DAY FOUR

It was the last day of camp everyone was getting ready to go home. All the rooms’ had to be spotless all of our things had to be packed and ready to be put in the trailer. We had breakfast and last minute things then set of towards home. On the way we stopped off at subway and got lunch then went Te Puke Park. We all left and arrived at school around 2:00pm.

 My Opinion

It was one of the best camps I have ever been on!!!!
