School Camp 5-7 Dec 2017
Last year’s
camp we went to Otamarakau and slept in a tent/marae. The best thing, for me,
about the camp was that it was right next to a beach and a train track.
At the beach there were kayaks that some
people paddled in. There was a really deep bit in the water where you could
jump in. At night we roasted marshmallows and burnt our faces looking at the
fire.
We drove to Kiwifruit Country and met a dog
called Tilly. We went in a giant kiwi fruit cart and looked around at all the
kiwifruit trees. Our guide was telling us all about the trees.
On the last
day of camp, we planted trees next to the river bank. We got a shovel and dug
up holes. We said good bye to the camp and drove off. When I thought we were
going home we went to a lake and did a treasure hunt for things.
Then we drove
back to school and went home, exhausted but happy.
