From the 25th of October to the 28th or 29th most of Kauri team went to Chosen Valley at Ararimu for camp. We had two groups. One was our bunk buddies and the other group was our activities group. My bunk group was Aisea, Christopher, Ossian, Nate, Zac and Toby. My activities group was Ahmed, Lorenzo, Ossian, Millie, Nateesha, Hemi, Matteo for a bit, Charlotte for a bit and Lucianne.
My favourite activities were Flying fox and Go karts. I liked the flying fox because it went really fast and when we went to the other side of the lake I really liked the wind pushing on your face because you are going so fast. I also liked the part when we bashed into the tires because it felt really cool and on one side it hurt me. Phil who was on one side asked me what a thing on the harness was. It was the carabiner. The image is me.
I also really liked the go karts because it was also very fast. There were three levels so three difficulties. First one was red which is the most easy. Next was blue which was the second hardest. Finally the yellow which was the hardest. Not really. The blue was probably the hardest because it had the most turns. The yellow one was the fastest and the one with the sharpest turn. Some people in my group made it through the yellow but then when they turned to stop at the bottom of the hill they flipped over.
On the last night of camp we had a silent dinner which everyone that went to camp did. It is also like a tradition. I really liked the silent dinner but the bad thing was I had a sprained finger so I could not really write. But the food was wicked awesome. Nachos with mince, carrot and something else. We lasted pretty much the whole dinner. Well I did. When Alexis wrote “book at Plato” Lucianne thought I wrote it and did not know what it was. She thought it was plate and some other things that I forgot. This was our last dinner at Chosen Valley. For dessert we had this really nice pudding and when I finished it their was still some cream and chocolate bits so I mixed them together with my fork and ate it.
For our last lunch at Chosen valley we had hamburgers and since my mum got two for some reason she let me have some of her second one because she thought that she could not finish two wholes. That lunch was really good and everyone else thought that it was really good to. It was probably one of the best lunches that I have ever had apart from my dad's cooking. But to be honest I liked both the same.
When we were on the bus back to school I fell asleep and I kept trying to grab my hat. When I woke up my friend said that I tried to grab my hat but I missed put my hand in front of me and hit myself on the head pretending I had put my hat back on. But my hat was already on my head.
I really enjoyed camp. I got to enjoy time with my friends, try new activities and also I could enjoy lots of time away from my really annoying big brother who loved the time away from me as well. The only bad thing at camp was that I had two injuries (sprained finger) and (really hurt my leg)
