Wow! What a week! From early morning rises, bush walks, yummy food, exciting activities, wharf jumping, spot light and so much more its hard to think that 44 children and 10 adults could have so much fun!
Well thats just what we had. We set off on Monday 7th of May a little anxious at what camp was going to be like. After a fairly smooth ride on the ferry from Sandspit we arrived. Our camp was nothing like we’d expected - it was better!
Big cabins, right on the waterfront, wallabies (if you were quiet), wekas, kayaks, sailing boats, FISH oh and of course all our friends to share our memories and fun times with.
We had such an awesome week out at Kawau Island, the walks were fun - we saw dolphins at Coppermine Bay, that was a highlight! All of us learn’t how to sail and kayak. The challenging confidence course tested us, as with the orienteering and bivouac making.
Our nights weren’t boring in the slightest. We had spotlight one night, a movie another, cooked marshmellows on the fire and then the parents and teachers created such a fun and yuck burma trail!! Ask someone in Year 6 to describe it to you - if you like (but beware, you might not feel so good!).
When Friday came, some of us were happy to pack up and head home, while others of us just wanted to carry on into the weekend. l it was such an amazing time at Camp Bentzon - even if we did have to do PT every morning and have silent dinners!
Can’t wait to share the camp movie with you all soon.
Year 6 campers!
