Year 9 Campers with Ms Louise Glase

We had two spacious coaches to transport us to our school camp. Several of us were quite apprehensive to the idea of no decent toilets and no showers for the three days but as we arrived, we were greeted by a group of friendly staff from the camp who alleviated our fears.

Within our Year 9 group, several people had signed up for the Duke of Edinburgh award, and they were doing their practice expedition. During the three days, we learnt how to hike, abseil, orienteer, build shelters and work together as a team. Carrying all of our gear and equipment on our backs made the journey a lot harder. Some of these activities were challenging and everyone was encouraging to one another.

Camp was a great way to interact with other people and build stronger relationships with our teachers and peers. Although I really enjoyed camp, when I arrived home I appreciated a hot shower and sleeping in my own bed! Overall, I was grateful for the opportunity to learn and interact with others and thankful for the teachers that went with us and supported us.
