Sooo where have you guys been for camp? What was good.. or not?
Yr 7: I forgot the name but it was some conference centre.. cabins of 8..
Yr 8: Narrabeen sports place.. cabins of 10.. some had tv/video/lounge room some didnt.. kinda boring
Yr 9: Collaroy.. beach was crap.. hate communal bathrooms (like 4 showers and 4 toilets for 70 people)
Yr 10: Stanwell Tops.. cabins of 6.. went orienteering (which was fun.. figuring out maths problems.. having to carry this 30kg dummy thing through burnt trees and getting totally dirty).. and like crack the code for some bomb thing.. some other activities too
Yr 11: Vision Valley.. cabins of 4.. alright place.. nice food.. all the cabins are near each other then theres this killer walk to another set of cabins... the hall was great for a dance.. outside verandah and good sound system.. cuz it was a 'retreat' we had no sporting activities and heaps of free time.
ohh one day we had like 2 hours of free time and we played volleyball on the sand.. the ball went into the lake thing like 3 times.. so annoying
Yr 12: Stanwell tops again.. next term.. woo
