Toonalook Camp

November17

 This week I went to camp with my class, we went toonallook it is near lake entrance also near Painesville.

The trip took was a 3 1/2 hours. When we got there we were hit by an army of misquotes. Our first activity was the photo rally, I went in a trio with my friends christian and Charlie. We got to great start but  then we had our first challenge. We walking around for ages then natural instincts started to kick in, so we decided to ask for some help and the guy said go to the gate were we entered from. So we started our long journey, we finally found it. Then we went back to get a new picture, then we were back on a role then we had a new challenge we were walking everywhere we checked everywhere for were it could be then we were told by the teachers it was the girls close line so went over to the close line though we were doubtful that we weren’t going to find it but we did we were so frustrated.  Next we learnt how to play king ball it was super fun though it was similar to four square. After that the instructors Josh, Jesse, Grace gave us an option to go swimming or to keep playing king ball I decided to keep playing king ball I kind of regret that decision to keep playing. Soon later we had dinner, Trish the chef made some of the most delicious burritos I have ever had. After dinner we played a game called the shoe game Josh said it was played in the olympics but I knew it was it was totally made up. After the shoe game it was time for bed in my cabin I had Jack, Christian, Charlie and my self. The next morning we had breakfast and after breakfast we split up into our activity groups I was in the Jazz’s jelly beans, then we went on a boat tour. After the boat tour we went to have some morning tea we had scones. They were the best. Then we split up into groups our again, my group was doing bike riding, bike riding was a bit of challenge for me because it was really hard going over these sandy parts in trail. After bike riding we had  kayaking was really fun.

 

kayaking was won of my highlights because it was really relaxing and we had such beautiful weather and the water was really refreshing. We also had use a couple of pla ‘s they were communication and collaboration my partner Holly and I had to make sure were we were in time with each other when we were paddling and we had to help each other. After kayaking we had free time we all played king ball when we were playing king ball we had to use collaboration because you had to work with your partner and make sure you know how is hitting the ball. My partner Christian and I both showed resilient when we got out, next time we did better and made sure we didn’t make the same mistake. After king ball we had pack up everything and we went to the camp site were we were going to sleep in a tent. When we got we found out who we were sleeping with I was sleeping with Max, Theodore, then we had learn how to set up the tent then we had to do it, this was a challenge for because I have never set up tent before and had my friends. After that we had dinner, for dinner we had burgers they were delicious. Then we played a game of guess who the Disney character is? This game took a while and to be fair I wasn’t very good at it. After that we went to for a walk, I walked with my friend Christian. Then we went to bed this was my first time sleeping in a tent, I was a bit scared but I knew if I got to sleep I would be fine. The next morning we had toasties, they were really hot and really cheeeeeeeessy. Then we packed up and we had to use some more collaboration because we were  disassembling the tent, then we packed up all our bags and put them in the trailer. Then Jazz’s Jelly Beans took a bus to the ferry. After that we went we took the ferry across to Raymond island. And we waited for the group to get there and got the bikes sorted for our bike ride,  once they arrived we split up into groups and went to our activities, we went bike riding and Kola spotting; we saw so many kolas and they were so cute. After bike riding we ate salad sandwiches.

 

 

 

Then we walked over to a pear to fish. I already knew how to fish but it was so fun and relaxing.

 

 

 

After fishing it was time to go back but this time we got to go back on on speed boat, luckily I got to go on the first trip so I got there before everyone else was and therefore I got to have a nice shower.

 

 

 

Then we had dinner for dinner we had lasagna. After that we went to bed. Tonight no one talked because we were all so tired, well at least I knew I was. 

The next we woke up super early to see this spectacular sunrise. I had never seen a sunrise before so this was so cool. After that we all went back to bed but I don’t think many of us got back to sleep. When it was time to wake we went go have some breakfast this morning we got to have some hash browns with scrambled eggs. Yummmmy! After breakfast it was time for the day Toona Challenge. First we went down to beach to do activity then some people from had run a hoopla hoop to were the bike riders were.  First there was the the slow race I wasn’t in that but I was in the fast race, I started of slow but then I caught up and I was coming second but then I fell over. After that we played dead fish I pretended that I was sleeping. After we found out who won the toona challenge, unfortunately the Jazz’s Jelly Beans didn’t win but that’s okay, after that we had lunch unfortunately I can’t remember what we had for lunch. After that it was time for the bus ride I slept for most of it. When I got my bags I found my Mum I was so happy.
