On the 22nd-25th of october 2013, some of the year 7&8 went to peter Snell's youth village for our 2013 camp. The objective of this was to gain points everyday for you team that Mr. Fourie put us into. The moment we got there we had to choose our cabins. There was a west and east side. The "west side"was the girls side cabins and the "east side" was the boys cabins. After that we got started with our first activity. The activities were; Rock climbing, abseiling, Riffle shooting, hobo cooking, Archery and the initiative course.
Our next activity we got started with was abseiling. Abseiling was very scary and very fun. After going down once I felt really proud of myself for over coming my fear (Of highs) on the first day we started. Abseiling was a fun and cheer-able for me and my team. Our activity (Abseiling) was just a wonderful way to start camp.
Once all the activities were done Mr. Fourie and Gordon (the owner of Peter snells youth village) said that the water slide was open. So then all of us got changed into our swimming clothes. When we were lining up we only got to start from half way on the water slide just to show us a little bit whats it about and the next day we could go from the top.
That night was the scariest night at camp. We had the Burma trail and making bread on the fire. The groups that were making the bread on fire were; 4, 5, and 6 and the first groups to go in the Burma trail was group 1, 2, and 3. The bread was delicious first we rapped it around a stick and cooked it on the fire. When it was done it was group 4, 5, and 6 turn to do the Burma trail and 1, 2, and 3 to cook the bread. The Burma trail was worst than I thought but half way threw the Burma trail Mr. Fourie told us to take our blind fold off because we were running out of time. So we could see all the parents hiding and up in trees like Paul.
The next day we had to fit 4 activities into one day because of snow planet the next day but that was fine with me. Our 3 activity was riffle shooting. Riffle shooting was excellent to start the next day off. At first I got the hang of it but then during it, it didn't look that great. I tried so many position but it didn't work until I tried one particular position which made me change.
Our next activity was rock climbing. I thought rock climbing was just gonna be boring but it turn out to be really fun. Rock climbing was hard at first but then it also got really fun. Next activity we had was the initiative course. The initiative course was pretty challenging and its took a lot of try and we had to start over again.
