Year 5 Camp to Waterslea

22 Sep 2023

Our Year 5 Camp at Waterslea was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I loved doing archery. It was one of the best activities ever and I also hit the bullseye, I was so happy with my achievement. I liked making the billy carts and racing them down the hill, but I didn’t like how we had to carry them back up the big hill. It was still lots of fun. The wind on the first night was like the loudest wind I have ever heard. During the Talent Quest on the second night, I couldn't stop laughing with my friends and the funniest item was probably Aubree's.

At Year 5 Camp we did nine activities. They were abseiling, bush walking, building and riding billy carts, the waterslide, orienteering, archery, the Talent Quest, Christian Discovery and the Teddy Bear Competition. My friends were with me in the cabin so that made me super happy. My favourite activity was definitely the waterslide. I had so much fun spending time with my friends!

We left on the 27th of August bound for a new Waterslea adventure. We had a variety of different activities. The ones that stood out were the waterslide, Adventure Journey, Archery and Billy Carts. The Waterslide was cold but super fun we were able to ride down in pairs or individually. Archery was a ridiculously hard skill to master, but many people hit the bullseye very quickly. Billy carts we built were hard to build but we went fast. Some of us even wiped out into the bushes! Finally, our adventure journey was remarkably interesting, we learnt about different dangerous plants whilst we learnt that wombats do square poop! Some of us even saw wombats and got up close to kangaroos. We were lucky enough to have an amazing experience at Waterslea thanks to the amazing youthworks helpers.
