On the 18th to the 20th of May, I went to a camp which was for Leaders to step out of their comfort zone to challenge them self to do things what they wouldn't do in their everyday life.During the time that was leading up to the day Mr Noke and Mrs Puke were searching for the right people to go, they could only chose 10 kids [5 councillors and 5 house captains] lucky me I got chosen out of the 5 councillors.Then came the day where we all met at the Wananga. There were also 10 kids from Amisfield d and 10 from Tainui there so that made 30 kids in total going to the camp. From there we went to a camp-site called Castle Rock.
Then we got set up in our areas, the girls got a the lodges and the boys got the woolshed. After that we all got put into teams I was in team 1, soon that was finished we went off to our activities, our was ABSeiling. But first we had to walk up Castle Rock with a helmet and a harness it was hard! Finally we got there.So our team woundered off to ABSeiling. I was petrified looking down because it was a long way down but I got over it and did it. We did that for 2 hours. It was so long. Soon that was done and we went and had lunch then back into it but change activities.We went to Rock Climbing that was bit easy than the Abseiling because you had to climb to the top the come down…

On to the next day. Wow that was like much easy because it was all water activities. That morning we drove all the way to the Waikato River where we did it all of it. We went back into our same teams and went off, we were kayaking first it was a brilliant day for the kayaking, it had all the things to make it look like a brilliant and beautiful day. SO we just kayaked around and also did races. After that did Disc Golf [that was just a fun activity] Then did Raft Building. We had to make it out of 5 bamboo sticks, little rope, big rope and 2 flat but strong woods carrying on each wood was 5 empty big bottles to float on the water. After it was made we had to go on the water and get these things that the instructor tells us to get, it was a competition to see who is first, well that was us…

The last day. In the morning we only had 1 more activity that our team didn't do on Monday and that was the flying fox and that was scary but awesome at the same time this was the one you could have a least 4-5 turns. The aim of it was to just walk off the edge of the platform and the way you go to the end.Then by 2:00pm we had left for Tokoroa.
