On the 7^th of October we arrived at Cave Hill Creek in Bovet. When we got there it was unexpectedly cold. However as we went inside in front of the warm fireplace we all warmed up.

After that we had to get sorted into our camp groups, I was put in The Kookaburras group.

The kookaburras first had Canoeing, I went canoeing with Alex.P, It was so fun, I couldn’t stop laughing because we got stuck in the lake. People had to direct us out because we kept going in circles. Soon after we made it alive out of the lake and went back to the rec room for a little rest. Shortly after we moved on to our next activity which was Compass Work, i didn’t really understand it but I found it fun. Next we did the photo Trail, It was a bit like the amazing race because when you found what you were looking for you just ran to the teacher like it was a pit stop.

After the photo trail activity we went back to the rec room and had a big rest, we all sat near the fireplace and kept warm. Later we went back to our cabins to get ready for dinner. After we ate we went on a night walk, I walked with my friends away from everyone else and we were alone in the woods, it was scary but funny but as we looked behind us we saw the teachers so we felt a little better. Suddenly we got lost but since we were with some of the teachers they knew a way to get out instead of going through deep puddles that the other people had to walk through. After we came back from a lost and scary night walk we went to our cabins, it was just me and Lara because Tori, Miki, Mairead and Celeste went with Mr. C but when everyone was in the cabin we all went to bed. But instead of going to bed we talked all night eating lollies :)

CAMP CAVE HILL 2009 Celeste Pittorino

On the 7th of october all the grade 5/6's went to cavehill creek camp.I has so much fun there.SOme of the activities that we did were Archery, Low Ropes , Map Reading , Orientering , Photograghy and Canoeing. These activities were really fun and interesting.

Camp Cave Hill was way better then Rumbug .The Food was distgusting at Rumbug compared to Cave Hill and Cave Hill was much much much more cleaner and nicer, and my mum makes better food then them. We also had a reck room were there was table tennis, cordial a fire place and fruit.

My favorite part of camp was at night time because me ., mairead , Lara , Tori Mikaela and Sarah stayed up really late playing gaves and playing with our torches.

I also remember when we had the disco it was really fun but then it started to get boring so Me , Mairead and Lucas F were sitting by the fire and Mr Rasmussen was giving us bullets , and they were really nice. After the disco we had hot choclate and cookies and that was really yummy too. This was the last night at camp but suprisingly we all went to sleep pretty quickly

I really enjoyed camp and it will be a rememberial memory to me!

On the 7th of October, all the 5/6's went to Cavehill Creek Camp. We all stayed there for three days. First of all we all got into cabins. There were 10 people in my cabin, Georgia, Emily, Riana, Jess, Chantal, Kristen, Stephanie, Madison, Natalie and me. My favourite activities was the canoeing and the tug of war. In the canoeing I was with my friend Stephanie. She was so scared of falling in so I started shaking the canoe a bit. We had a water fight with Ben and Jamie. They got us soaked. I enjoyed the tug of war as well because everyone was so competitive and it was so fun. Camp Cavehill was lots of fun and I would love to go there again.

DAY 1:

It was too exciting to wait to get there. On the 7th of October we went to camp cave hill creek in Beaufort. It was a boring 12 hour bus ride and their were a lot of canola plants on one place, it looked like one huge yellow square. We arrived at cave hill creek and it was FREEZING! We got told out cabins and where they were. I was with Samuel, Albert, nick, Andrew, Carlos, Angelo and Dominic and we were the first room to the right (coming in from the front). As soon as we unpacked a cowbell rang for our first activity. My group was the kookaburras and our first activity was canoeing. When we were preparing for canoeing i was getting excited. Me and my partner didn't ever make it halfway because we kept on going around in circles or stuck in the edges or getting stuck in the reeds and almost getting hit by a branch. At the end we couldn't even paddle back to the exit. We had to get directions on how to paddle back to the exit. Our 2nd activity for the day was compass work and that was OK. We couldn't find the last post anywhere until the last minute. The last activity for the day was a photo trail. This activity reminded me of the amazing race... except you don't win anything, then when you get a question right then you get the next photo and the scores were in ticks. Me and my partner came last. That was the end of activity's. We had dinner and the chips were stale... but I still ate them. At the first night we went on the night walk and i was excited. About 15 minutes in i started to get a little fear of someone randomly jumping out and scaring us, thanks to a friend I got that fear. About half way through i just hear from Mrs Jackson "STOP! Your going the wrong way" Mr C almost got us lost and made us go through a trail called the glut. Mr Rassmussen, Mrs Jackson and other people who were behind went our seperate ways. It took a long time to find our way back to the camp.

DAY 2:

We only got 5 hrs of sleep. The cowbell rang for breakfast. We had cereal and toast and that was ok. That day we had 6 activitys. 3 before lunch and 3 after lunch then we had 1 activity all together. Tug-of-war and it was fun. we saw another or the same wallaby just around where we were and the teachers did a round of tug of war. Miss harrison and mr rassmussen were on one side and mrs rassmussen and mrs jackson were on the other side. After the last 3 activitys we had dinner then it was concert/disco night. My cabid did a catwalk act (i was a judge) then the disco was on. I left with other people a few minutes into the disco. Everyone was angry in my cabin then we slept.

DAY 3:

In the morning i got woken up and we told freaky stories. Today was the last day and the last 2 activitys. The cowbell Rang for breakfast then the activites started. The first activity was Low-Ropes Course which was REALLY annoying... i kept on falling off. The last group competition was a 3 rotation activity of running around the lake, archery and low ropes. The last group activity was hut buildingh. Ours looked ok and it was fun. When we got back we had to pack up and get ready for our last lunch. We grabbed out cases and we left cavehill. The bus ride back was fun and funny because i was acutally talking to someone. I liked cavehill better than rumbug, because you actually got rest in cavehill!

Everybody was saying goodbye to their family members and getting in the bus. I said goodbye and got on the bus near my friend Emily.N. She says hi to me and we're off. Me and my friend play games, talk and look outside. I was tired we had been on the bus for ages. We stop to have a snack and go to the toilet and we're off again and after 1-2 hours we reach Cavehilll Creek Camp with Mr. Rasmussen waiting for us. We were greeted by the owner then we rushed into our cabins. We did activities like low ropes, canoeing, photography, archery and the nightwalk. My favourite part at camp was the concert and disco. We came back on Friday and i had alot of fun.

Samuel

We packed our bags on the bus, and won't be back for almost 3 days. Were we scared?, no, it's would be the best 3 days of our lives. We would be with all of our friends and were going to be doing lots of fun cool activities. At camp we did heaps of activities and some extra things like the disco and the acts. My favourite activity was archery, because it was really fun and also because I was good at it. It was sad to leave because I had so much fun, and a wonderful experience.

Awesome three days. I liked this camp because we got the unsuited. We all had fun. My favourite activity was the canoeing I was with Ben. Ben and I were splashing all the girls. I also liked at night time because we got out two foam footys, and we started throwing them at everyone. Ben threw the ball really hard at me and then I got the ball and threw it at him. But I missed him and hit Aidan on the back Matthew got Luke on the leg we also had teams. On my team were Leon, Luke, Matt.d and Lucas. On the other team were Ben, Aidan, Matt.c and Shane.

I gave this camp 8 out of 10 because of the bunks and the unsuit. But the food was better than Rumbug

Madison

The classroom is buzzing. Everyone has been waiting for this day to come, and now it’s finally here. Mothers are waiting outside to wave their children goodbye, and to tell them to put their clothes in the right bags and to wear clean undies each day, just some motherly advice. We walk out of the classroom to our parents. We pick up our bags, and walk to the bus. The mothers gave their motherly advice, then it was time. Everyone loaded their bags onto the bus and then we drove off.....
Camp is now over and all the excitement is gone. I really miss camp, I had soooooo much fun. My fav activity was the Photography Trail. It made me look at objects in a different perspective. Our cabin was awesome. I want to give a shout out to:

Day 1:
Today was the first day of Cave Hill Creek 09. My first ever camp! It was fun. On the bus it was boring. 3 hours of just sitting on the bus, waiting to get there. Finally, we got there. Our first activity was low ropes. Our group was the drop bears. Me, Natalie, Emily H, Mikaela, Carlos, James, Angelo, Leon, Shane, and Joseph. I fell down in the mud! It stunk really bad. For dinner we had Fish, chips and salad. It was disgusting. That night we didn't sleep. We stayed up until about 5am and kept talking. We couldn't sleep.

Day 2:
This morning when i woke up i was so tired. Just goes to show, that i should've tried to go to sleep. For breakfast we had cereal. For lunch, we ate burgers. They were good. For dinner we had lasagne. I didn't like it! I was also on kitchen duty. Lucky me! I had to scrape food off plates into a bucket of food. I slept like a baby that night, because i was so tired from the night before.

Day 3:
Today was our last day at cave hill creek. I am going to miss cave hill creek! I felt like sleeping in that morning. Haha. Cereal AGAIN for breakfast. Lucky to be going to my home... can't wait to eat my mums food! And a good old bowl of pasta bolognese. We did a couple of activities that day, and i fell asleep on the bus on the way back.

Camp cave hill creek was fun for me and all my mates. It was the best fun. There was lots of water there! When we were on the bus I saw lots of great views. The drive was tiring and boring. There was a small building where we slept and ate. In the small building’s entrance there were the toilets and they were outside and our bunks were outside too. My cabin was fun, I was with all my friends, we stayed up late. We did lots of fun activities at Cave Hill Creek like canoeing and there was lots of water, i got wet, it was great fun. My favorite activity was canoeing , which was fun. I was canoeing with Samuel, we were playing canoeing tiggie in the canoes. we also did tug of war. Cave Hill Creek has lots of water, I got soaked! The food was nice; we even had lasagne for dinner the last night. We also had lasagna my favorite! On the first night we did a night walk with our torches, we also got lost and it was scary.we had a disco on the last night, that was fun. i had lots of fun at Cave Hill Creek, it was a fun camp.

Matthew.C

we went to camp at cave hill creel 09. When we got there we went to our cabins. I shared my cabin with Ben, Aiden, Jamie, Luke, Matt D, Shane and Lucas. On the first day we did archery it was fun even though no-one got a bulls eye. After that we went canoeing. Canoeing was fun and we got wet! I shared the canoe with Lucas C. After that we had to find things with a compass it was ok but not as good the canoeing. We had sausages and hamburgers for lunch. After lunch we did orienteering which was finding posts and witing down the letter on each post. It was fun. Later that night we had fish and chips and peas. I didn't like it! Then went for a night walk and that was good but half of group got lost!!! We didn't see any animals because we were too noisy. When we got back we went back to our cabins and we were meant to go to bed, but we did not go to sleep at all that night!!!

The next morning we woke up for breakfast and we had toast and cereal. Our first activity was picture finding. The teacher gave us a photo and we had to find the thing in the photo. Then we did photography it was fun. We had sausages and hamburgers for lunch, it was yummy! After lunch we did the low ropes, it was fun and tricky. Later that night we had a concert. Most acts were funny, but my favourite was Emily and Rhiannas group. Then we had a disco. It was fun and excellent. We went to bed at 12.00am. After breakfast the next day we did competitions and tug of war. We quickly have sandwhiches for lunch and then we packed and then we went home.

Riana

The entire grade 5/6s went to Cavehill creek. When we got there we collected our bags and went to our cabins my whole cabin started fighting for which bunk beds we wanted. After that we gathered in the recreational room and Mr C told us which group we were in, I was with Jess, YAY! Then we went to do 2 activities one of them was canoeing it was so fun but I was yelling at jess because she didn’t know what she was doing.

Day 2

Today we did 6 activities our group did lots of the nature activities it was pretty good there are lots of trees and plants that you don’t see every day.

Day 3

It was the last day we had 2 special activities to do one of the was tug of war and the other was hut building they were both fun. The tug of war was so fun our group only won one game. In the hut building we used sticks and bark our hut was so cool. It was a really good camp.

It took a long time to get back to school I was so tired.

We arrived at camp on the 7th of October, after a long bus ride. I felt a rush of excitement going through my body. After talking to Tim, we were assigned to our cabins. Georgia, Chantal, Jessica, Riana, Emily C, Kristen, Natalie, Stephanie and Madison were in my cabin. As we were putting our bags in and taking out our sleeping bags, we all felt energetic and couldn’t help talking.

Soon the bell rang, and I was eager to find out our first activity. My group was called the ‘Drop Bears,’ and our first activity was Low Ropes. As soon as I saw the ‘Low Ropes’ course, I felt like i just wanted to run through the course and I couldn’t wait to get started.

One of my favourite activities was canoeing. I paired up with Natalie, and as she got in, I could see that she couldn’t wait to get into the lake. As Mr.C pushed us in, I felt like i was flying backwards. We paddled like ducks that didn’t know which way to go, and because other canoes knocked us, we kept going into the weeds and that made me panic!!!

Camp was a great experience, and as we left, I could feel that I had one of the best memories forever.
