Day 2 camp

Today we got up at 6:00 in the morning got up and went into the common room to have breakfast. Then we went in our groups to do some activities like team building, bush craft and kayaking.

First our activity was team building. For team building we did little games to learn to work as a team. We played a game called human knot , we had to tie our hands together and try to get free. Then we played a game that we have to make an island and but these mats that are icebergs on the floor and every body has get on one iceberg. The next game we played was don touch the lava. We each had a block of wood make a path to the other side.

Next our activity was bush craft. First they tought us how to tie a strong knot to hold up something. Then we went outside and we got  split up into half to make tents. We chose two trees to make our tent. so first we tied the rope across the tree then we put  a tarp over the rope to create a triangular shape. then we tied the edges with some sticks and a string. After we we went back to shelter to make a fire so we can boil water but first we went to collect some dry branches to make the fire. Then we gathered all our branches to burn them. Then we boiled some water and made hot chocolate.

After our next activity was kayaking but it was to rainy so we went off for a bush walk in the forest we learnt lots of stuff in there like about the puriri tree and the totara tree. After that we went for swimming the pool was very cold.
