Year 6 Camp

During the last week of Term 3, our Year 6 students had their school camp.  

Year 6 Nanga Bush Camp!

This article has been written by two students in Year 6. 

We were all so excited to be going to camp but half way through the bus ride we got very restless, unable to concentrate. We ate so many lollies that the teachers told us to put away the lollies and calm down! When we arrived we all got really confused about where we were staying! Finally when we reached our new ‘home’ it started to rain! We all had to unpack the bus and find our dorms.

When we had unpacked and set up we went down stairs for Eagle Boys pizza and garlic bread. It wasdelicious! After that we all had a shower and got into our PJ’s. Then we went downstairs and played a fewgames and went to bed ready for a day of fun tomorrow.

In the morning we all had breakfast and were introduced to our activity guides ‘Dekked Out Adventures’ and Mr Dekkes himself! After that we were ready to start our adventures!

The first activities we attended were bike riding, walking on MT Nanga and the amazing flying fox! Bike Riding was fun but afterwards our legs were a little bit sore! Walking on MT Nanga was enjoyable and we found lots of different plants! The flying fox was the favourite, flying through the air whizzing past trees and flowers, Mr Barter suddenly coming into view ready to help us off the zip line. After we had finished all the activities we went back to our ‘house’ and had
lunch and dinner. We played huff and puff and toxic tins and we found out that we were unable to go to Penguin Island due to bad weather. Afterwards we got ready for bed and wrote in our diaries, then lights out!

The next day after breakfast we set off to Rockingham and on the way there we went choc chip mining and had a tour of Alcoa mining refinery. We then arrived at Rockingham town centre when our teachers decided to take us to laser tag!!! We were so excited to be going to Time Zone and laser tag. We were given yellow cards so we could play lots of different games. After Laser Tag we went ten pin bowling it was super fun! We also went to Hogs Breath Café for dinner. When we arrived back ‘home’ we went to bed feeling tired out from our busy day.

It was Wednesday morning and we were ready to go Rafting, Low Ropes, Abseiling and rock
walls. Rafting was fun and wet! At the end we all jumped in the water and it was FREEZING!! After we dried off we went to low Ropes which was really fun to rely on your team mates. Abseiling and rock wall was scary but when you accomplished the task you felt really happy and relieved. After we stopped shaking we went back to our ‘house’ and ate some more lunch and dinner. We got ready for SKIT NIGHT!!! All the skits were funny and well performed. Afterwards we had biscuits and hot chocolate. Then we went to bed and it was lights out.

In the morning we had our breakfast and got ready for the day’s activities, super rafts, water
torture and Marshmallow River and bog trotters minefield. In super Rafts we created our own device to help you cross the river and collect a key. Water Torture on Marshmallow River was fun because we had to help our team mates and collect water to fill up a pipe with a key in it but the pipe had holes in it! In Bog Trotters Minefield we were blindfolded and our friends had to help us cross a length of ground without touching the ‘mines’. Later we were able to open the box and find LOLLIE SNAKES!!! We had all worked together to get the box.

On the way home we were all so tired and had a sore throat and a runny nose!!! We were all so glad to be home but sad to be leaving our amazing experience at Nanga Bush Camp.
