Camp Kaitoke, two thousand and greateen

 Camp kaitoke

Have you ever been to camp?

I’m sure you have

The time when you went abseiling? When you had to go leaning back like you were about to fall in jelly?

That was camp

Have you ever been to camp?

Sure you have

The time when you went to the treetops and you kept on slipping because there was lots of mud on your shoes?

That was camp

Have you ever been to camp

Sure you have

The time when you went kayaking

You jumped off your kayak into the dirty lake

and came out shivering?

That was camp

Have you ever been to camp?

Sure you have

The time when you did archery and just missed the score board?

That was camp

Have you ever been to camp?

Sure you have

The time when you were set up to do a challenge course and you had to work as a team to get to the end?

That was camp

Have you ever been to camp

Sure you have

The time when you were hanging out with your cabin mates and laughing non stop

That was camp.

Camp poem

Abseiling

standing up on the window sill

feeling like I wasn't attached to anything

wanting to jump off the window sill

& run all the way back to my cabin

lowering myself down the wall

& screaming YIPPIE !!!!!!!!! in my head when I got to the bottom.

Kayaking

paddling around a mini island

jumping off my kayak

feeling like I was in an antarctic lake

& stubbing my toe at the end.

The tree tops activity

laughing over exaggerating  

& screaming my head off

having fun

never wanting it to end

hanging upside down

from harnesses like monkeys

making up secret languages

thinking up names for what we were acting out

Bankey monkeys. ( bat crossed with a monkey )

Camp poem

Camp the feeling that you want to do all the cool stuff.

Camp You want to feel the cold wet bushes brush on your skin.

Camp The warm cosy beds in the cabins.

Camp the temptation that you want to run round the grassy fields forever

Camp smelling the delicious food the bacon sandwiches mmm.

Camp you just want to dive straight into the activities.

Bridge of Doom

ARSALENUERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

I yelled as I swung round the bridge of doom like a falcon swooping at its prey.

The water sprung away.

The cheers getting louder and louder.

Again I sprung and yelled: ARSALENUERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

The icy water jumped away from my feet.

There it was the

4th rope.  I caught it. It swung and I nearly got knocked off.

I leaned and got the 5th rope and jumped.

I had finished.
