A great time was had at camp last week but don't take my word on it, here is what the people have been saying.
On the 7th to the 9th of March we went
on surf aquatics camp at Aldinga Caravan Park where we learnt C.P.R, surfing
and being a life-saver. We had to walk three kilometres to the beach which took
about 30 minutes through Aldinga scrub reserve and down some roads.
At the beach we were split into six groups and did surfing,
bogey boarding, talking about safety when at the beach, rescue drills and flag
games. In my group we had me, Talitha, Hamish, Zack, Aaron, Lachlan, Isabella,
Shay, Alyssa and Curtis. We had a carnival with all the groups including
swimming, duck diving, paddling with the surf boards and wading in the water
and running on land.
We arrived at the camp site at around 11:00 am and then had
recces, then free time, then lunch and then got ready to go to the beach for
two hours. On the second day we left at 9:00 am to go to the beach for most of
the day and came back at around 4:30 pm.
For lunch on the
second day we had sandwiches at the beach which were delicious but the weather
was really hot and we had to reapply sunscreen every couple hours. At the end
of the session a lot of people had chafing (cowboy syndrome) so they put
Vaseline on. For dinner that day we had lasagne and salad and for desert we had
jelly and ice-cream.
On the third day we
didn’t go to the beach but we split into 10 or 11 different groups than at the
beach and did activities at the campsite to do with teamwork like building
tents, tug-a-war…etc. then we went home.

On our
aquatics camp we went to Aldinga on 7th to the 9th of March when we got
there we ate our recces then we had a play on the playground which had a
jumping pillow, swings, monkey bars, slides, basketball net and volleyball net.
I enjoyed the volleyball net with my friends we played volley ball and was good
fun playing.
I and my
friends were very excited for the surfing and boogie boarding until we found
out it was a half an hour walk from our camp to the aquatics but the good thing
was that we had lots of time to talk to our friends. When we got there we would
get off our shoes and socks then go to our instructor, most our groups had ten,
my group did. We had Angus, Nikita, Ruby, Max, Riley G, Laura, Finn, May, James
and myself. We learnt about the DRS ABC (Danger,
Response, Send for help, Airways, Breathing, CPR and Defibrillation)
On camp we
got fed by two very lovely lady’s named El & Carol, when we got there we
had our recess then had a play then after we had lunch, then after the aquatics
camp we had sausages, chicken kebabs, chicken patty’s ,coleslaw and fruit salad
I had 5 sausages which was really yummy.

This year the Senior Unit went to Aldinga Holiday Park for camp, our main reason for going there was to do some water activities and surfing.
When we all
got to school on Monday we greeted each other and waited to leave for camp, I was
especially excited because it was my birthday the next day. We all split up
into groups of girls and boys to board the buses, the girls all went on a small
van and we set of! On the way, through the city areas we kept on being in the
lane next to a man in a truck, for some reason we named him Tom and he was our
friend for about the whole drive until he took a different path and Shay cried.
We did some singing and rap battles too on the way, and lost our voices
screaming the song “Hello” By Adele. Our favourite song was “What does the fox
say... SEXY BUTTERFLY!!!” By the time we got there our throats hurt. We all got
off the bus and went to a little area waiting for further instructions,
meanwhile… Me, Shay, Ruby, Nikita and Kailee where sitting on a log rail and I
lost my balance and fell of onto the rocks and pulled Ruby and Nikita down with
me, because I was the first to fall I had rocks sticking in my back and even
worse Ruby and Nikita fell on top of me too!! I got up and my whole back was
sore.
Dorms…
We then
found out our dorms, it was so nerve-racking and I got anxious about who I was
going to be with, eventually we found out who, it included Me, Shay, Ruby,
Kailee, Arliah, Lacey, Angel, and Shelbie. We got our entire luggage and took
it into our dorm, OMG it was so tight to walk and unpack in! We then met all
the staff and found out what was going to happen next.
Beach Time!!
We had a bit
of free time and then changed into our bathers for the beach, my long sleeved
jacket bathers looked a little “weird” so I just put my normal rashi on. We sun
screened up and headed of on a 4km walk! We got into our groups at the kiosk
area and went to the beach for the first time. Our group was Me, Bianca P,
Esther, Lacey, Nick, Saxon, Henry, Jaras and Eddy. Our instructors name was
Chloe and she was really nice. We started off with lifesaving tubes and rescued
people from drowning, using the tubes we wrapped each other in them to pull
them to shore, and then we got to do some surfing and duck dives. I kept on
accidently hitting Nick with my board and Saxon too, they all said I was a
killer and Saxon had a huge bleeding cut from me…. When we all came back up to
the kiosk area Mr Jones highlighted the good things and then bad things and
said Jenna was the killer. After that we walked back to the caravan park to
shower and change, the line for the showers was soooooo long and people kept on
screaming at me for taking too long, excuse me for trying NOT to smell like
fish.
Food!
On the
Monday we had our own lunch packed to eat and only that. Dinner was barbequed
meat such as sausages, chicken and kebabs; we had some salads and sauce with
that too. Our dessert that night was chocolate cheesecake and ice-cream. The
next day for breakfast we had an optional, three course meal including cereal,
then toast or spaghetti/ scrambled eggs on toast. That day we got to choose and
make our own bread rolls with meat and salad. Our dinner was lasagne and salad,
the dessert was ice-cream and jellied fruit. Because it was my birthday my
parents brought us chocolate eggs to eat. I also got a red velvet cupcake from
Mr Jones too because it was my birthday. We had pancakes and toast for
breakfast the next day and had pizza subs for lunch.

It all started on Monday the 7th of March I
brought all of my stuff for camp I was waiting for my friends. It took about 2
mins then they were here at school then 5 minutes later we started to pack
everything into the bus. Then they said make a single file line so we could get
onto the bus. On the way I sat next to Brodie. For camp we were going to Aldinga we were going to stay in the
caravan park. It took over 2 hours to get there from school! I started to mess
around with Brodie I think I went too far because I think I started to annoy him.
Then after 2 hours we arrived at the caravan park we had
some recess when we got there I had some very nice food after we had a talk
about rules at the caravan park. Then we were told what dorms we are going to
be in. All of my friends where in the same dorm as me. There was me and Foxx, Aaron, Eddy and Brodie we ended
up with one of the biggest dorms, we had 7 beds in our dorm.
After that we had some lunch I had a hot dog! Then we did
some activities for an hour. We were told get in your bathers because the
caravan park wasn’t far from the beach, it was only 2.5 km away. We started
heading down, there was a bush walk we had to go on To get there. The beach was
very nice when we got there we went to the surf aquatics centre we did some training on how to be a life saver.
Then we did some body surfing it was very fun I caught some very big waves with
my friend Luka. After we headed back I got cow boy syndrome called chafing it
was horrible!!! For tea we had a barbecue it was very nice.
Day 2
On day 2 I got up early because I and my friends were
messing around in the dorm but we had a lot of fun. Then we had to get up for
breakfast I had rice bubbles and sugar together it was nice and sweet. Then we
had time to play around. Then I hanged around my dorm with my friends. We were
just talking about cars and stuff like that. In the morning we had some
breakfast after we were getting ready to go down to the beach. We were going to
spend most of the day at the beach when we got there we had to go through a thing
about the beach. After we did some stretches down the beach. Then we grabbed
some surf boards and we went body surfing it was so much fun. Then we had a
competition my team won and was a very good swimmer and that helped us win a
lot. After that we thanked them and said good bye to the beach then went back
to the camp. For dinner we had lasagne it was perfectly cooked I loved the
grilled cheese on it. Then we had free time for an hour then we had to watch a
movie called Evan Almighty it was incredibly funny. Then it was bed time we all
fell asleep very quickly which was good.
Day 3
In the morning we had to get up around 7 in we had to pack
everything after we had pancakes. After we had some activity’s to do while we
were waiting for the bus some were fun and boring. Then at 1 the bus arrived
and we put everything on and we started to head off to Gawler. When we got back
I left early because my mum was there. And that was the end of my camp trip for
primary school.
