In Week 7 of Term 1 the Year 5 and 6 students of Bethlehem College went to Totara Springs, Matamata in the Waikato.
My favourite part of Camp was the freaky things like the hydroslide. It looked to me like it was long and scary and you ended up in the freezing cold river. But when I went on the hydroslide it was fun and it had really curly corners. My favourite part of the hydroslide was the jumps and the corners.
The bad points about camp was the homesickness that was going around and some of us who got sick after camp. Also I hated the accidents people had and the mattresses people had to sleep on. They were not that comfortable and they were covered in plastic which made them more uncomfortable.
My initial feelings about Totara Springs were wrong. For example I thought that the rafting was going to be boring but I really had fun because we went down the water and I fell in. I also went in a tire which was fun. I thought that I wouldn't like the food but it was nice and delicous. The cabins were what I thought they would be; horrible and crowded, small and noisey. I thought it was unfair that some of the teachers and the adults got flash lodges and the hotels.
The new ideas I have about camp is that we should change the fitness activities from running and aerobics to the hydroslide or dodgeball because there is heaps of places to run and to play. Plus dodgeball is fun and it is exciting to play in a big area.
I am very thankful that I went to Totara Springs and that we did the things we did. I would have never done them if we didn't go. So I am thankful for doing that. I also wish that I could go to Totara Springs again and stay in the lodges! :)
