Totara Camp 2019

This week T1 & T2 went on a camp in Hanmer Springs. We left on Monday 20th of May and returned on Wednesday 22nd of May. When we first got there my group had to do mountain biking.  We had to do biking for 2 hours and 30 mins. I really disliked mountain biking because it made me really tired. After mountain biking we drove down to the hot pools. We stayed in the hot pools for about 3 hours then we drove back to camp.

On the second day we got woken up at 7am (I really didnt like that) Kylie said "if looks could kill you would have killed us all" since I'm really grumpy in the mornings. After we had breakfast and stuff we did orientering. Lavinia, Miss Power, Kaleb W's mum and I were in a team. We got 320 point in total which I think is pretty good. After that our group did the cemetary and sculpture walk. I found the sculptures pretty amazing. When we got back to camp we got right into tree climbing. I got up to the top of the tall pine tree but I didnt go up the thicker tree as I was too tired. Later that night we went to the hot pools again.

On the final day we woke up at 7 again and we started to pack our bags to come back to Greymouth. Once we packed we got ready to walk up Conical Hill. It was pretty tiring going up the hill. When we got to the bottom we walked down the the lollie shop. Trent and I combined our money and spent $15. After the walk and lollie shop we went back to the camp site to have lunch. When we all finished lunch we got into our cars to come back to School.

I think the camp was really cool and is definitely my favourite camp. I'd recommend it if you're really into exercise.

Fox Glacier

On day one we went to the Kiwi house and saw a baby kiwi they looked so small and fluffy. We learnt how baby kiwi are an easy target because the are small and don't know how to defend properly. The adult kiwi are large and know how to defend.

We also went to a Lake and went for a swim and jumped off the jetty. We had to wear swim caps so we did not get lost. One side of the jetty was clean the other not so clean it was smiley and gross.

We saw the glowworms and I fell into a ditch but the glowworms were so cool. We thought we took a wrong turn but then we saw a light in front of us so we knew we weren't lost so we continued to walk.

We had sausages and vegetables for tea and had ice - cream and apple crumble for pudding. It was so yum.

In the morning we had spaghetti on toast and and cereal it was delicious . Then we chillaxed for a wee bit.

We went geocaching and it was fun. We had Aimee and she got us hubba bubba. When we got back we got two lollipops each.

We went on a big walk up to the glacier and I lost my drink bottle it rolled down the glacier. The view was amazing.

We went to the pool and had a swim it was so much fun. I wish we could do it again. Then we got back to the Top 10 holiday park and had showers and then we had nachos.  After the nachos I felt sick I think I ate too much. Then we did our camp diaries and the we went to bed.

The next day we went on the tree top walk in Hokitika it was so high up.

This camp was so fun. Then we came back to Greymouth and went home.
