Reuben's Camp Recount


Glentui Camp

First thing on Tuesday Year 7 & 8 went on camp. We all went in different cars and I was in Ben’s Dad’s car with Campbell, Jayden, and Ben. We had an awesome time in the car but when we got there it was better.

After we got to Glentui Meadows we went inside and brought our bags into the dining hall. There we had to wait for the other trailer to arrive. Then about 11:20 am the trailer arrived and the parents helped to bring the bags into the dining hall. After quite a while we had lunch. When I looked at the group list (on the wall) to see what group I was in, I found out I was in group 2. Then I went in to my cabin to see my cabin mates they were: Lucas, Nick, Shunto, Hunter, Campbell and Ben.

After that I heard a whistle blow, I went to the common room. My group had to stay in the common room to play Initiative Games with Mrs. Black. First we played a game where you had to guess when their birthday is. It’s very hard because you’re not allowed to talk. Next we had abseiling and it was horrible because I slipped at the beginning.
After that we had River Study with the DOC people and it was a bit boring. Then we went to Outdoor cooking with Mr. Barr and we made pikelets.

The best of the best is the 3 hour walk and I got everything I needed. I packed a drink bottle, a jacket, and food. On the walk everyone at the back (like me) started to get tired because it turned out to be a 5 hour walk. On Thursday I went to Wellington so I left early. In the end my favorite activity was spotlight. Glentui was the best!
