2016 Camp Week – Year 8 (Blue Mountains)

Camp every year is just as good as the previous camp. Each camp you take something away that prepares you for the future. In Year 8 camp we learn’t more about our friends and some physical challenges that will prepare us for the harsh conditions of Mt Kosciusko.

We set up tents in a small campground. We cooked some delicious meals, but some not so pleasant. The smell of cooked breakfasts in the morning to the perfectly cooked gourmet pasta.

As a year we went on a walk to Wentworth Falls. We were split into groups and went on the long walk through nature to the frosty Wentworth Falls. At Wentworth Falls some people chose to swim and refresh themselves.

On the second last day we drove up to Katoomba and were split into groups of 10-12 for the mini Amazing Race around Katoomba. In the race we got to buy Blue Mountains Chocolate and see the Blue Mountains as well as learning about the Blue Mountains and it’s history at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre.

All in all Year 8 Camp 2016 was a great success. The friendship and camaraderie gained during camp will help us be higher quality friends.
