Peter Snell Youth Village

It all started on Tuesday morning where I hopped out of the car with my big blue, suitcase and walked over to the hall getting prepared for Peter Snell Youth Village ( that's the name of the campsite we were going to. Finally it was time for the bus to come. We all boarded the bus in our activity groups.

















It took 2-hours to get there, so we had some activities to keep us busy along the way. Eventually  we made and we got familiarized with the campsite. We started our first activity. It was abseiling , the basics of Abseiling is you have to haul yourself down the 3 storey wall.... And don't look down!












Next up we had Air Rifles which all you have to do is aim and shoot!Magic! After that it was night time which meant THE BURMA TRAIL. That's when your blind-folded and you go into a dark forest ( at night ).







On Wednesday morning we ate breakfast  and after that  we started Rock-Climbing. Basically , climb to the top and ring the bell.Next we had camp cooking and Nicholas and I buddied up and we made delicious Pikelets!






Thirdly we started the initiative course it's all about calibration and teamwork. It was quite challenging but we worked it out in the end. lastly we had Archery which I sucked at until I got a 75-pointer. Then we went to sleep.







Next morning it was time for SNOW PLANET! I did ski-ing while others did snow-boarding! It was a really awesome experience! Except for the fact that Jansje broke her leg and Callahan broke his arm, it was ULTRA fun!









Then later that night it was the Y games, where you do a variety of strange activities, including; eating baby food, soda drinking contests and random blind-folded music questions.








finally it was time to pack up and do our final activity, a SUPER RELAY! It was a superb experience, I hope I can go to Peter Snell Youth Village again!
