YEAR 7 CAMP

My highlight from camp was….

Driving the motorboat.  I followed the sailboat.  I chased it.  Charlie told me to turn the wheel hard.  Lottie

Going in the water every day. Ilka

Hide and seek chasey.  Zayden

The night walk on Wednesday night.  Oscar

Going knee boarding with my friends and making new friends.  Grace

This was one of my favourite camps I have ever been on for one reason is I have never been on a beach camp and that was one new experience.  Molly Pr

Going on the boat when people were knee-boarding, it was fun especially when we were turning around. Lily

 

A new skill/knowledge I have learnt…

How to do sailing, I have never done that before.  Holly

I learnt how to stand-up paddle board.  Ella H

I learnt how to beach launch

I got the opportunity to knee board, this was an amazing experience. This was my first ever time knee boarding and it was one of the best activities of the many we did. Claudia

I learnt to paddle board properly with the paddle facing the right way. Alexa

How to do different water sports and activities and how to include people who are feeling left out or just needed help with doing the sports. Kali

 

Something I have learnt about myself from camp….

Something I learnt about myself was having fun at camp makes things way better. Halle

Something I learnt about myself was that I am good at kayaking. Riley

Something I have learnt about myself since going on camp is I don’t really appreciate how beautiful the views sent to me can be. Francis

Is that I am good at paddleboarding, I had never done it before, but I really enjoyed it. Delilah

Is that I can swim. I knew I could swim a little bit but when we were snorkeling I realised that I was more confident than I thought. Jazleen

 

A personal challenge I faced on camp was…

Driving a sailboat.  I overcame this by just trying and following instructions. Amber

A personal challenge I faced when going to camp was having quick showers to wash your hair and also eating things I probably wouldn’t normally eat. Halle

Learning how to sail, we almost capsized. I overcame this because the instructor jumped off and made us do it ourselves. Dylan

Being scared to do some of the water activities, especially kayaking. I overcame this by just trying and it was fine. Kaitlin

 

My advice for Year 7s going next year….

Do every activity and live life to the fullest.  Nash

It might feel scary at first until you go on something you’ve never been on.  Holly

Let people sleep and participate in every activity that you can.  Give it a go and have fun, in a good way.  Makayla

Don’t be afraid to go to camp, it’s really fun when you get there.  Ilka

To expand your horizons and not to only hang out with your ‘group’.  Grace

My advice for any Year 7 going on next year's school camp is to have fun and make sure you try every activity. Chelsea S

My advice for the future Year 7s for camp is to go on camp and enjoy being there because in the future you can talk about all the fun you had with all your friends. Molly Pa
