Camp Bentzon

Camp was awesome apart from the walk to Mansion House when Mr McCracken led us the wrong way and then I fell over and still have a scar. Mansion House was wicked. All the different rooms and the architecture were extraordinary.
The best activities were the water activities. Sailing was cool. I thought Kirsty and I were going to flip but fortunately we didn’t although Phoebe and Jo filled their boat with water and still managed to stay afloat. The raft making was really really fun. The girls made two rafts except they both failed but the boys were kind enough to let us use their raft that had succeeded. All four of the girls hopped on but then we fell off. We tried about four times but we kept falling off so we gave up but Jo still wanted to go so I decided I would go with her. So when we got quarter the way out Phoebe decided she wanted to come. She swam out and kicked at the back and then decided she was too tired so she hopped up on the raft and Mr Morrow swam out with a paddle for Phoebe. He kicked on the back when we got out to the pontoon. We all hopped on to the pontoon and swam back while the boys towed back the raft.
The confidence course was pretty cool too. There was a rope that we had to go across and there were lots lots more fun activities.
