Ngamuwhine Camp

On the Sixth of May Rimu House went to Ngamuwhine camp lodge up at the Kaimais for 5 days. It includes of water and land activites. They were made to be challenging but fun at the same time so that we would have to work together as a team and co-operate.  Some of the activities needed peserverance to finish them.

I am proud of my self for getting to the top of the rock climbing wall because it is very slippery and the rocks are loose. The first section was quite easy but there was wet puddles in the holes you put your hands in. The second section was a bit harder because my harness get getting caught in the rocks above. The third section was a lot easier because the rocks were not as loose and they were dryer.

Belive it or not I made my bed everyday at camp but at home I never do. We had bunkroom expection which consisted of made beds no rubbish and our luggage all packed away. My stuff was all clean everyday but it was hard. I stuggled to keep my clothes in my bag but I managed to do it.

It made me laugh when I shot Mr Hart in the bottom 5 times. I thought he was trying to shot the other people in my team so I tryed to get him in the head but I didnt aim so well. He turned around to shoot me but he couldnt find me so he didnt bother. I had surrender after shooting because some one was right behind me.

The biggest challenge was getting up the vertical playpen because it was so wet. I managed to get up to second set of tires the second time but I could not get eny further then that. I had some help from Gene Jesse dad but it was hard because I am quite small. I found it fun but challenging.

The tastiest thing that I had to eat was the pumpkin because it was so juicy. I had eight pieces because it wasnt getting eaten. I ate so much food at camp my dad told me off. Though I like my mum'
s food I thought the camp food was better.


The most rewarding thing was getting to sleep in the bush for a hole night because my mum doesn't let me when I am at home. I loved being in the woods but it was very cold and dark. I loved telling stories at the camp fire and being warm. I thought it was a fun experience and I want to do it again. Sleeping was hard because it was uncomfortable but I did it.
