From the 22th to the 26th of October, the year 7 and 8 students went on there yearly camp to Peter Snells Youth Village.
The first day of camp started with a early start. 8:30am was the time we needed to be at the hall ready to leave. Around 11:00am we got to the camp ground. We had Morning tea and Lunch then we were ready to start Air rifles. It turns out I'm not bad at shooting because I hit the tins every time I had a shot at it. After Air rifles we went to Rock climbing. It was really hard to grip on to something and because the grip holds move as well. On my 2nd try I got to the top. When we finished we had to go to the camping group to cook our Dinner and set up our tent's ready for tonight. Our Dinner was really nice and getting our tent's were really easy getting set up. Later that night, all teams did the burma trail then cooked bread over the camp fire. Then lights were out.

At 6:45am we all got up getting ready for our morning run. After that we had Breakfast then we had our first activity of the day. Camp cooking was my first activity for me. We cooked pancakes on hobo stoves. It took a while for them to warm up but when they did, they were not bad pancakes at all. After that we did the Initiative course. It had some hard and easy bit in the course. We did really well because we worked as a team. After that we had Lunch then went off to Archery. I got off to a really good start but a few people got a bull eye's that helped them along the way. After that we went to the hardest activity on the camp grounds, Abseiling. I ended up really enjoying it. I went down the wall 3 times in the end. The first part is the hardest. Thats the bit where you go off the edge. That night we had the talent quest. It was a load of fun. My group came 2nd.

Today was the day we went to Snowplanet to learn how to ski or snowboard. I had chosen to do snowboarding because its a little bit harder than skiing. By the end of the day, I was a real pro. We got there at 10:00am and stayed there until 4:00pm. It was a awesome day at Snowplanet. When we got back to camp, we got ready for the Y Games. Basically the Y Games are events that you might not do everyday. All the stuff you do is gross but fun at the same time.
