Throughout this week the Year 9 cohort have been bonding and challenging themselves whilst on camp.

On Monday this week, 9ORC and 9LWR went on a fun, one night camp to Waipara. We left for Waipara after period three. The second we got on the bus I knew how much fun it was going to be. The first activity for my group was the big swing, for this we were given a rope to hold, which was connected to two cords and a pulley, then pulled up by our classmates.

We got to choose between three levels (3 being 13 meters high), then the second we let go of the rope we swung for ages until we were eventually let down. Next, we had orienteering and the water slide. For this we had to follow the map around the camp and solve the word puzzle in order to get to the slide. After that we had dinner and then to bed, after all we were really tired! The next day our activities included the vertical climb, which is an obstacle course that goes up between two trees, and the swimming hole. On the way home I was exhausted but had the best camp ever.
