Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog today I am going to be talking about year 7&8 camp. Week 3 Kaupeka hub went to camp, and we had to go on the tramp to camp which took 3 hours and on the way up it was really hard but on the way down it was really steep.
What I found challenging...
I found coasteering a little bit challenging because we had to get up at 8am to go coasteering and the water was freezing. We had to jump off these rocks the first three were quite small but when we jumped in from the rocks you had to jump further otherwise you would hit the rocks underneath. I found it challenging because there was this big high rock and I am scared of heights so I decided to jump off the 10 meter one. It was so worth it because it was really fun.
What I learnt...
I learnt how to do a lot of things at camp like... belay in high ropes when you had to hold the person up when they were climbing up the high ropes there had to be three people and the bottom one in charge so they don't fall, one pulling the rope through and one grabbing the rope. In search and rescue I learnt how to build a stretcher so you grab to rain coats and pull the sleeves through the bottom and put them on the two long thick sticks. In outdoor living I learnt how to make a fire so you get dry sticks because the wet sticks won't work because they will make the fire wet and it won't work, then get some Vaseline and a cotton ball and stack the sticks up and then put the cotton ball in the middle and with Vaseline on it and lite it with matches.
What I enjoyed the most...
I enjoyed kayaking the most because we did so many fun challenges and it was fun to do kayak doubles with a buddy, I enjoyed going through the caves because we got to look at what kind of rock there was in them because so many years ago we had volcanoes and they dried up to rock and we were learning about volcanoes. Then we saw jellyfish in the sea and there was so many and it was so cool. Overall I really enjoyed kayaking because I learnt a lot and it was fun to know how to kayak.
