Camp at Waipara

Nearly every year 5 & 6 went to Waipara camp.

We left school around 9:10 - 9:30am and arrived at Waipara around around 10:15 - 10:30am. When we got there I was excited as someone on a sugar high. As soon as we settled down a bit we had morning tea.  After that we all got to go into our cabins and make our beds. 

Later we got into groups and they were the groups we did activities with.  There were 8 groups and I was in group 5. First group 5 did bridge building after that we had archery, I loved it so much.  I got 4 arrows in the foam target. 

After archery we went to go eat lunch.  Our next activity we had raft building, I made a raft with Kahu, Keira, and Alexa. Alexa didn't get on the raft until towards the end because she was a bit to scared to get on the raft at the start. Before we had to pack up Kahu, Keira, and I went into the middle of the river where all the other rafts were and kept jumping off our raft.

Our last activity was the Confidence course. It was a bit hard at the start but at the end I had the hang of it.

At 5:00pm we had finished the activities for the day and got to have free time until 6:00 (dinner time)

It finally had turned dinner time and I got to catch up with all of my other friends from the other groups. 

After dinner we had dessert, then shower's. We got into our pyjamas's and had supper (only if we wanted it). 

We had 30 mins to get ready for bed and then lights out at 9:30. 
I was sharing a cabin with Kahukura, Kymaiara, Mailli, Alexa, and Naquita. I didn't get to sleep until around 12:00 because Alexa was crying (she gets homesick).

*The night had passed and into the next day/morning*

I woke up just Naquita and Alexa were going to slap me to wake me up (it doesn't hurt don't hurt).

It was finally breakfast time, I was craving for food so much I was as excited as a bull running.

I would love to go back to Waipara camp again.
