My camp recount For my fist camp :) written by Krishay.

 Hello dear reader

this is what I did on my school camp We first had to go on the bus we left at 9:20 and we arrived at the hike at around 10:15 We ate morning tea and then we started the hike around governors bay to a farm by the hills we ate lunch there and then it was the time the most tiring part of the hike! (not for me :) Then we started the teachers warned us about a plant if we touch that plant we are basically frustrated angels as I describe it because if you touch the plants they will be itchy and make you itchy from which part your body touched it for around a week well and also it will gets worse and worse every time you itch it so don’t try to touch them! (luckily I did not touch them:) When we started the trail We found the first signs of friends in this area who were actually making the trail a little dirty so we said hello and it was the most frustrating and disgusting part of the trail even though we found friends if you guessed already sheep poo! Everywhere! Baaaa! On the trail we were met with sheep and everyone's shoes were covered in sheep poo! And that’s what we were focused on for around 3 km because when we went on the steep hill more poo it was so hard we got tired of sheep poo and finally we reached the stream we were 30 minutes away. The final hike was so hard but I was the 3rd or 4th to reach the top. After we had some time we rested and made bunkrooms for the night. Next we did orienteering, one of my favorite activities at camp. We had to find flags and we had to find all of them and they had letters. Each sign had a letter and we had to make a sentence. My group only got five of the signs, but it was fun!:) We also then had some recreation time then we did activities like the monorail the trampoline or basketball mini golf or soccer! After that we did an auction where we used camp money to buy prizes like chocolate. I wanted the fredos the most but sadly I did not get them but the next day I did at least get a lollipop! Next we had dinner and the chef had amazing curry and we also found out he was bangladeshi! Then we went swimming in an indoor swimming pool. It was fun! After that we were given are duffy books that the the teachers bring with them for school And then we went into the bunkrooms and then slept. It was comfy! ( totally not for me!:) 10 hours later… Ahh good morning, how am I'm the last one awake? Good morning we woke up. We got changed fast and ran up the stairs like a monkey just woke up in our room and we sprinted to breakfast. Just kidding, we got changed slowly and walked to the cafeteria. Wow the cafeteria was basically toastopia because on the 2 mornings we were there they had toast and cereal it was your choice and the toast I have ever eaten with my favorite butter. I forgot the name but it was super tasty. It was one of my highlights at living springs! After we had ten minutes of free time everyday in the morning at living springs after free time we We went to the auditorium and got ready to hike to dons shed but first i did not go to don’s shed I went into the forest and my group first did bush ecology and in bush ecology we learnt about how you can identify the tree’s there by the leaves and we learn about how the animals survive and Live in the tree’s and the biggest tree I have ever seen is the kahikatea tree. It is also the biggest type of tree in Nz. Then we had morning tea in morning tea we had fruits and a brownie piece then we after I did my chomp chomp as you may know I am always hungry We went into the building initiatives in that we had the spider web we did the parkour and also the wheel and the planks in all the activities we had to get are team to the one side to the other side and the planks was the hardest because I could see the difference on the other activities we went zooming past but we also worked together so it worked out but in the planks we all had to share are idea’s and that was the weakness for are team and a strength for the other team. After that we came back to don’s shed for lunch where we had nachos. They were the best nacho’s I have ever eaten.After that I went to the ropes and course area. I think that was the name. It was pretty fun and hard but was not my favorite it had a whole course of balancing courses that you had to pass and at the end we had to touch the roots with are legs and not stand on the ground and get into the last part of the course and then we again came back to don’s shed for afternoon tea for that we had lolly cake and then we also had fruit again! Next I did rock climbing. It was pretty fun and we also played a game called shark attack so the shark would basically tag you if you were the last one to get on the rocks and if you got tagged you would have to go to the fish grave. After rock climbing we hiked back down to the living springs camp center like the main one. And we went into the bunkrooms and we got changed and… we then went into the auditorium for I think an auction again but a very short one then we went to eat dinner and they had burgers! Yummy very yummy indeed right? I had the veggie burgers because I am vegetarian if you did not already no and it was actually pretty yummy to be honest then we gwent to have are free time for around 15 minutes then we went back into are bunkrooms to get changed and then went into the swimming pool we were in it for 45 minutes then we went back and we got changed into are pj’s and went to bed the next day was pretty good the last day we again had the toast festival and then had tons of free time went on the trampoline the court the soccer field and then we went back for lunch and had mc and cheese what a surprise! Now I am guessing that the next school that comes and eats dinner would probably have pizza because the day before when we had burgers we had nachos so they probably choose the cuisine for the kids coming everyday randomly I think then we went back to the auditorium where we ahd my favorite part of camp animal survival it was my favorite and probably the classes favorite then we had types of animals the big carnivores that would hunt the big herbivore then we had the were the small carnivores that would hunt the small herbivores and the big carnivores would hunt all of them the herbivores would have to find water stations or food stations to survive and need to find all of them or they would not survive but the carnivores the big ones would not need them and the small ones would not need the food stations that the herbivores would need but the carnivores would only need the water stations and not all of them they did not need them but they had to at least find one I was a small carnivore and then the disease, tsunami, and wildfires came that were the adults and started tagging everyone and then the hunter came he could one shot anyone except the small herbivores and I hided from them after animal survival we left to the cafeteria for afternoon tea and we ate the normal sweets and fruits we ate that and then we got ready we got are bags put them in the bus and by the track said a big thank you to the parents who came for camp there kids gave them some papers for thank you and we went back to the school grounds and that was my first school camp! Hope you enjoyed!
