Year 3/4 Camp

By Lucas and Bridget

Lucas-

We took the bus to camp. When we got there, we got our suitcases and put them in the glamping tents. We then went to the pavilion and then ate snacks. Then we went for a walk to the hut building area and then we went to the glamping tents to set them up. At lunch time, we ate lunch with every group. After lunch my group did the vertical challenge, after that we did map reading. Later we had dinner then we put our plates away, cleaned the table then we watched Shrek with the whole 3/4 group. At the end of the first night we went back to our glamping tents and went to sleep. The next day we woke up, brushed our teeth, and went down to the pavilion to have breakfast and then did even more activities. We had lots of fun.

Last week the Grade 3/4 went to camp.  We first arrived at school to then get on the bus. We went by bus to Cave Hill Creek. When we got there we put our luggage in our tents and most of us got glamping tents and others got normal tents. Then we went into the pavilion. We then met some of the people who were running camp. Their names were Amy, Zach and Joe. 

We all did an activity as one big group at first. The activity was hut building. Then we went back to the pavilion. We had some of our snacks and then we were split up in groups. There was group A, B and C. Group A did Archery and the weather was very rainy and cold. 

After we did archery, we went back to the pavilion to have lunch. After lunch we did canoeing and then  we had showers, then we had dinner. For dinner we had lasagna and for dessert we had ice cream with apple crumble and then we watched a movie. We watched Shrek and then we went to bed.

In the morning we got dressed and then we went to the pavilion to have breakfast. For breakfast we had toast and cereal, then we were split back into our groups. Group A did bush cooking and we cooked damper and some of us had jam on the damper. After that,  we went back to the pavilion and had morning tea and for morning tea we had scones. My groups then went to do Possum gliding, which was scary but really fun. Later on, we did map reading, which was very difficult but fun at the same time. We had to walk all around the camp to find all the different clues.

On the last day of camp we did the vertical challenge where we had to climb up really high while in a harness. Then we had banana muffins for morning tea. Afterwards we all went for a big bushwalk together and then it was time to go back to school.

Camp was really fun but also really exhausting.
