Last week on Wednesday , 22 October, we went to camp. The place we were going to for camp was Christian Youth Camp, located in Ngāruawāhia. In the hall before camp, it was so packed full of students and parents. After about 25 minutes we got into our class lines and our teachers did the roll, making sure all of us were there. Then we slowly walked to the buses class by class.
On the buses we were talking about how eagerly we were looking forward to all the fun activities CYC (Christian Youth Camp) had there. Overall the drive took about an hour and a half and most of us were asleep because we were tired since we woke up early, but the moment we stepped foot into CYC, all of our energy was regained.
Whaea Krystal quickly explained what we were doing throughout the day and we walked to our cabins to settle in. I was in cabin 9, alongside Meleane, Loralai, Faiana, Maia, Aarvi, Veda, and Hamra. We grabbed our bedding from our bags and made our beds. After about 10 minutes or so we were called to change into different clothes, whether it was for dry or wet activities.
We got into our rotation groups and immediately jumped into our activities. The first activity my group had was zuru x shots , we used these nerf guns that had foam bullets to shoot our targets. We did a practice round before getting into the real game. The rules of the game were :
- No shooting people’s heads.
- If you get hit, you must put your hands in the air with the nerf gun and walk to the green space, counting to 10 before getting to play again.
After about an hour, all the groups rotated. We went to the pools, then mudslide, and then we went on the hydro slide but sadly we ran out of time because it was time for dinner.
For dinner we had nachos and it was really good. After dinner group 3 ( which is my group ) had to do the dishes. After awhile we FINALLY finished the dishes. Everyone was chilling out, playing catch with a tennis ball, playing at the park, etc. Loralai, Oliana, Farah and I were colouring with the colouring books inside the hall. We also made smores at the camp fire and they were super good! Later everyone had a shower, brushed their teeth, and went back to their cabins and off to bed. Meleane and I were laughing a lot because Loralai put her pink blanket over her head and Meleane called her a pink alien 
Bye for now!
