Year 8 camp!

                                                                   Year 8 camp.

On Wednesday morning the 19th of may the yr 8’s got ready to go to somewhere special! That special place was Kauaeranga christian valley camp, everyone was excited visiting Kauaeranga, once everyone had got into the hall we talked about the things that are going to happen there. We got to have a look at the timetable, we then had our prayer before we left . Our 2 buses had now arrived and it was time to put our luggages and bags into the bus. Our luggages then safely got into the bus and it was time to go on the bus for a long ride which was about 1.5 hours away from Auckland. During the bus ride we arrived in Coromandel, I was amazed by the view there! There were a lot of mountains, farms, and much more. About 40 minutes later we finally arrived in Kauaeranga valley. Everyone hopped off the bus and got the luggages out. We then got to have a little snack since it was a pretty long ride and because we couldn't eat/drink on the bus, we got to explore the camp, there was a playground, a big hall with a basketball court and many more fun games, there were also a big field filled with activities that we were gonna do. After our little snack we went inside the dining room and sat on the floor because there were some people that we're here to introduce themselves. There was Zac who owned the company and many other more people that helped him continue the company. 

Once they introduced themselves everyone got to know what cabin they were in, when I got into my cabin I decided to change into something comfortable since we were gonna do an activity. Everyone then went into the hall ready for their game, this game was pretty tiring but it was fun, we then got to do another game this game had a mat what we were suppose to do was somebody had to go on the mat and everyone had to lie down and push the mat on the other side of the hall. After the games have finished everyone gets to have 20 minutes of free time to go on the trampoline, games upstairs of the hall. After 20 minutes of free time we got to have our first rotation, we had 2 separate teams , kauri a and kauri b, kauri a which was my team got to do paintball so we had to change into something that we don't mind getting paint on. Paintball was sort of hard since the ball wouldn't pop and it was kind of hard aiming for each other. After our paintball game we decided to practise our item since paintball wasn't easy for us. After our first rotation we got to have another 20 minutes of free time. It was now day time and it was time to practise our item for our concert night. It was then time for showers, after our shower we got to have a little free time for 5 minutes and then it was time for dinner our dinner was butter chicken and our dessert was brownies and ice cream, we then got ready into our pjs and got ready to either sleep or watch a movie, and that was the first day of camp!
