My Camp Recount

My Camp Recount

By Krishna Narayanan

Camp was exciting! On Monday was sailing and rafting. In sailing, Sonna, Crystal and I shared a boat. We took turns on the main sheet, middle and tiller. JR said if we were confident, we could do sailing backwards. JR said to us "Do you want to learn to sail backwards or speed sailing?" Sonna, Crystal and I made an agreement that the person controlling the tiller was in charge of any decisions at the time. Crystal was at the tiller so she said "Speed sailing". We went so fast I got seasick. Then we capsized. Well, the boat tilted and Sonna Crystal fell into the water. I was still on the boat, at an angle so I hopped into the water. JR said we were the fastest boat! Next up was rafting. Team A (us) called our raft the Chinese Takeaway. We won because our raft fell apart after Team B's.

We were going to dinner. I love just about absolutely about every dessert. So at dinner when Siyi and Sonna hadn't even touched their dessert (chocolate pudding), I got to have three servings! Mmmm!

On Tuesday was rock wall, confidence course, kayaking and high ropes. Confidence course was fun as! But Team B won.

On Wednesday was gunwalk, archery, survivor and orienteering. On the gunwalk, we saw old war stuff.

The night activity for Monday was hall activites with Matt. We played "zim zam", length of the hall in people and Clothing.

On Tuesday the night activity was spotlight with Miss Mudford. Sonna, Crystal and I won three out of five games by hiding in a very good place. Parents come with torches to try find you. We can't have torches. But I had one. I never used it because I don't want ot cheat.

The night activity for Wednesday was Burma Trail with Mr Crowhurst. Parents come and scare you by wearing masks, whistling loud, jumping, flicking water/mustard and moaning. When we came back, I just found out we were walking the hill of the survivor course!!! Everything seems so scary in the dark.

This is what I have to say about camp: "camp was an amazing experience but last years (at Finlay Park) was better."
