My favourite part of the trip was spending time with my friends outside of school and getting to try out things that I had never done before. I really enjoyed all the activities but my favourite was kayaking even though the water was freezing, and I was dying to get warm again. My second favourite would have to be the rest of them because they where all so fun to do, and I hope I get the chance to do them again.
Something I learnt was that a lot things may seen easy but they can be almost impossible. I found this out on the high ropes when I tried to climb a large wooden ladder with the gaps in between the rungs getting bigger and bigger, and it got harder and harder to climb. I also found this out belaying at high ropes because it is quite hard to always keep tension on the rope without giving the climber a wedge. So next time I will definitely pay more attention to the rope and how much tension I am putting on the rope.
Something that I found challenging was sleeping because I kept getting woken up at 4:00 and 4:53 so I found it hard to get back to sleep. It was also hard to get to sleep in the first place because most people were talking. I found Archery challenging as well because it was very hard to even hit the target and most of the time I had terrible aim and my arrow plunged into the hay. I think that I need a lot more practise in Archery.
Something I am grateful for is the camp instructors and parents volunteering so that we could have a safe and enjoyable camp. I am also grateful for the experiences that I could have and that my school can help us to have good experiences . I am truly thankful that I could go to camp . I really hope that in the future I can go to Wainui YMCA camp again and have as much fun as I had this time.
