Building bivvies!

Olivia Bates —

On Tuesday , the 2nd day of camp we went into the camp forest. It was a weird forest. The trees were bent, curved, fallen down and rotting but that didn’t bother me. We all still built amazing bivvies!! My activity group did win the bivvy building challenge. It was my favourite activity at camp. I did get poked a lot by the pine needles some even made me bleed. I was the one who made the walls for our bivvy. What we had in our bivvy we had two single beds, a couch made from pine needles and an old fallen log. And a beautiful outside with a campfire and a walkway into our bivvy and some green all around the inside of our bivvy. We had scrapped out all the pine needles so it was a nice non prickle floor. We made our bivvy so it was blocking the way the wind was coming and rainproof.
