Sixtus Lodge Camp 2016

It was a race to camp. Through the windy roads , up and down the hills. Finally we were there. It was a race to see the camp sign first and I won. Once everyone was at the camp site we settled in to our dorm rooms.

I was really excited for camp until Miss G and told us we were going on a 2-3 hour tramp. After lunch we set off for the tramp. I was actually really proud of myself after it. I had walked so long while sweating the whole way. Once we walked back it was dinner time. Usually I don't eat much at home but after the long walk I was starving.

After dark we ventured off to the glow worm cave. The glow worms were like tiny stars in the sky. It was amazing. But to get to the glow worms I went through water but it was freezing cold water. I didn't want to get my feet wet but there was no way to avoid it.

The next day we went to do a river walk. It was like the glow worm cave because we went through it and carried on. This time the water was deeper and there was more cold water to try avoid. It was really fun when we went through this slit through the rock. The water was up to my knees and there were rocks everywhere.

Once we got back from the river it was time for horse riding. I really excited because I had been on a horse before when I was smaller. I was a little wobbly at first but then I got the hang of it. They were so gentle and the listened to what I wanted to do. I loved it so much that I didn't want to get off the sweet little horse. I could do it all day.

After dinner it was time for the burma trail. At first I was not scared at all but after everyone came out I was really afraid. Once I went into the bush I was not scared after I faced my fears.
Camp was all about facing our fears and having lots and lots of fun. After my amazing time at camp I think i've over come them. It has given many memories and hopefully there will be more to come once I journey through life!
