As girls who haven’t been to a camping trip away from home and family before, the experience at camp was phenomenal for us. 

We tried new activities that made us come out of our comfort zones and met new people like the supportive instructors who helped us throughout our incredible adventures at the Tops.

Although some activities looked scary like the Giant swing, we fought our fears and had a lot of fun completing them. Each and every one of us had fun doing other enjoyable activities besides physically challenging activities such as the silent disco and the newspaper designing challenge that we all happily participated in. 

In the morning and after every activity, the people at the tops would kindly provide us meals and snacks to enjoy. The food was scrumptious, including the chicken wrap, nachos, fish and chips and many more. 

We were grateful for the meals and food provided for us during our time there that filled our bellies and gave us the energy to continue on with the day. We especially loved the sweet treats that included the chocolate mousse and ice cream. 

Camp was a period of time where we all made new friends as well as strengthening our previous friendships. Leaving the Tops was a bittersweet experience as we all wanted to see our family after all this time. However during this period of time, we have grown to know the instructors that work very hard there, the caring teachers that accompanied us on the journey and the other students in our grade. 

We greatly appreciate Ms Kenney for allowing us to go on such experiences. Going to camp was an enjoyable experience yet a very important experience as we learnt the meaning and importance of independence in our lives and that we can’t always be relying on our parents for everything. 

The three days we were at the Tops were the three days that we will never forget and ever take for granted! It was “tops” !
