 Year 3 and 4 Camp 2016



Wow what an amazing time we had on camp!  





On the first day we got straight onto balancing on the low ropes - it wasn't as easy as it sounds but it was lots of fun!















We tackled the rock climbing wall too

Our final challenge before we were allowed to have lunch ... the 
whole group had to swing onto a LITTLE platform.  If anyone fell off 
the platform they had to swing back on.  It was really difficult to stay on 
with someone swinging at us so it took a while but we got 
there in the end!


After lunch we got ourselves prepared for the FLYING FOX

  










Some of us were a little nervous at first but all of the Room 6 campers did it 
(Mrs O'Neil wasn't going to miss out on the fun either!!!)  
Once wasn't enough we had to go again!


Day two and the sun was shining again (phew!) and we were off on a days trek through the beautiful bush.



We learned how to safely start a fire and how to put it out again





And we learned how to make a shelter in the bush

Our last day on camp and we got to tackle the high ropes - boy were they HIGH!


We worked as a team to keep the climbers safe















It was a loooong way up!




But the ride down was fun!

It was all too much for some of us!


We had an amazing time and learned heaps.  A big thank you to the fantastic staff at Makahika Outdoor Centre and to our parent help - we couldn't have done it without you!
