Year 8 camp has definitely been a highlight in my year so far. It was filled with many amazing memories and experiences. Here are some of my favorite memories:

• I really enjoyed the overnight hike because it gave me a chance to see some amazing views, cook my own food, and sleep in a tent that I carried and set up. It gave me a really good sense of the beauty of our world and I think it was an amazing experience. We had Arthur for our camp instructor and he was really funny and entertaining.

• Next, I absolutely loved surfing. I have always loved being in the ocean and surfing was a great experience for me and my group. I got to catch waves and try standing up on the board. I also had a great time as I felt very safe in the water. It was such fun watching everyone in my group work together and learn about each other.

• I also loved the vertical challenge. This was an activity where you had to climb up some obstacles and compete with your friends. The top was an amazing 18 metres high. I really loved this activity. It was an wonderful experience to watch everyone push their boundaries.

Camp was an amazing experience and something I would do again in a heartbeat. All of the teachers were amazing and it was really exciting to spend camp time with them. I also really enjoyed meeting the camp instructors and doing many activities with them.

Overall camp was fantastic! I learned many new skills, and it was awesome to get to know my year level better!
