Camp at Arthur's Pass

 Camp!!!

By Elizabeth 25/9/20

It was Tuesday the 15th of September, one day until camp. Everyone in Cana was so excited. I went home as excited as a cat with a box. I did all my usual stuff that I would do at home but I had to pack some gear. Then I ate dinner and went to sleep.

I woke up with a smile on my face. Finally it was camp. My class got to wear mufti. 

We all had to put our gear in the school library then go to class. We had morning prayers. Then at 10:00, a very fancy bus came to drive us all to Arthurs Pass. The driver told us all about himself. It was quite interesting. A hour later 

Cana arrived at Arthurs Pass. It was snowing. We met the instructors named Ruby and Isla and got all our gear into the place we were staying. We got sorted into six different rooms - Aka cabins. I was in a cabin with Charlee, Bella and Tasja. 

The days were mostly the same, just different activities. The day that we got there: Orienteering, coming back, getting into dry clothes, eating lunch, playing board games, eating dinner, getting ready to go to bed and light’s out. 

Second day: breakfast, get changed, sensory trail and shelter building, Devil's Punchbowl, come back get into dry clothes, eat lunch, play board games, eat dinner, get ready for bed, lights out. 

The third day was mostly different. The activities were: building competition at the beach, stealing the kiwi and learning to use radios. 

After the activities the very fancy bus came to take us all home from Arthur’s Pass. I sat with my friend Penny. I was so tired that I slept all the way until Kumara. Penny woke me up and then we arrived at school at 2:30pm. My mum came as soon as we got all our stuff out of the bus.
