Camp Reflections from Year 5

My Highlights of camp were making new friends, surfing and facing my fears. I loved surfing because it was a great challenge and I got to try something new. I also loved making new friends, now it makes me a lot more confident! The trivia was a sensational experience, I now know a lot more about Disney characters. Even if we didn’t win, it was still a blast! Thank you to all the teachers and group leaders that participated in this wonderful camp!

My Highlight of camp was snorkelling, because I got to do it with my friends and I learnt how to go underwater with my snorkel. It was extremely exciting!  I also loved the sand making competitions and now I am really good at it. I really enjoyed our little walk to the beach on the rainy Thursday.

Camp was a fun experience for me, and it helped me to adapt to the school. I made new friendships with my group members and had a great time playing in the water and on the sand. What I enjoyed most about camp was that I had a chance to do activities that I don’t usually have an opportunity to do like surfing, snorkelling, and going to the beach.

Our Year Five camp was amazing when we went to Kiama in week two. Lots of students showed courage when participating in surfing and snorkelling even though they found it tricky. I’d like to thank all the teachers for helping us in camp and especially Ms Jauncey for organising this camp.

Camp was a great experience, and we did a whole load of different things starting from surfing to rock rambles. The best activity in my opinion was the beach games mostly the sandcastle competition because of how creative you could get like making dolphins to turtles to even the most creative things like a mermaid hotel but there was also snorkelling which was AMAZING. Even though the vision wasn’t the best we still got to see a lot of different types of fish.

We had so much fun at camp doing surfing and playing on the beach. We went to visit the blowhole and learn about the water flowing into the blowhole. Learning to surf was one of the favourite activities. Having a sandcastle competition was another one of the amazing activities we did at camp. Going snorkelling in a rock pool was hard but once you got the hang of it was fun looking at the thing in the water like different sea plants and small fish. We had so much fun at camp and can’t wait until the next one.

Camp was an amazing experience for all of us. We did lots of fun activities like surfing, snorkelling and sandcastle competitions. I know everyone is looking forward to our next camp.

To start the long first day of activities, we had surfing and sandcastle building. My group dug a huge hole. On the second day, we did rainy day activities like pipe line. Then finally the last day came, and we did some snorkelling and a walk to Kiama’s very famous Blowhole. Camp was amazing!!!
