For the last day of camp, we did not have any activities as we had alot of cleaning up to do.Again, we skipped morning excercise, had breakfast then a briefing.After that, we were sent back to our bunks to pack then each bunk was assigned an area to clean up.My bunk had to clean the toilet and it was awful!After cleaning, we had the prize presentation.Each of us were given a souvenior and prizes were given to the best boy and girl camper for each group.After that, we went to take our bags and then headed back for school...

For the third day of camp, we did not have our morning excercise as the teachers let us sleep a while longer.For that morning, it was the breakfast duty for my group so we needed to wake up alittle earlier.After breakfast, we started with the acrtivity, burma bridge.Burma bridge is actually a wire and two other wires supporting you at the sides.It is also quite scary but I managed to complete it!For the next activity, we had the challenge pole.I did not manage to try it out because a heavy downpour suddenly came.All of us rushed for the canteen and then we waited there till it was lunch time and went to take our stuff.After lunch, we got to rest for a longer time as the rain lasted for quite along time.After that we had to do the multi line traverse.It was also one of the most difficult activities but I completed it!After that , we had to go change as our last activity was rafting...For rafting, we learnt how to tie different type of knots and then we made our own rafts with the materials provided.Before we went into the water, we also needed to wear our PFDs and then float in the water again.After that then we could start rafting.We had alot of fun as the teachers kept on splashing waster onto us and we were all wet!After rafting, we went for a bath and then dinner then finally, what i had been waiting for, the CAMPFIRE!After two sing-along preludes, we finnaly get to have the campfire!The campfire lasted for 3 hours and then we wrote our last reflections, had our supper and night briefing and then finally , bed.

For the second day of camp, we first had our morning excercise then went into the canteen again and had our breakfast.After that, we started with our activities.The first cativity for my group was absieling!It was so far the most difficult activity in the camp, BUT I completed it!I was terrified when I was preparing to walk down the wall.When I finally reached the ground, I was elated!I was so happy to be on the ground again!For my next activity, we had to do the zipline/flying fox.It is also one of my favourite activities so I could not wait till it was my turn.It was kind of scary when you look down from the platform so I was a little scared.When you first jump down, you will feel a certian type of feeling so you will feel like screaming but I couldn't because I was too scared.After two activities, we finally had our lunch.After lunch, we could go back to our bunks for some rest.Yippie!After resting, we had two more activities to complete for the day.Next we had general stations...The general stations was concerning more of teamwork so we actually too a long time solving some stuff.After that we had to do the single log.It was kind of scary as the log was suspended in air and we had to cross it.As it was very windy, it was very difficult to balance on the log but I completed it!Once all of us finnished, we went to the canteen and then had our cold baths.After our bath, we had dinner then the sing-along prelude and then our writing of reflections then our night snack and briefing then bed.

For my first day of camp,we first assembled at our school canteen and waited for around half an hour.After waiting,we departed for the camp...When we reached camp,we had a full briefing for all the days and then we went into our bunks and then after that started with lunch.After lunch, my group started with my favourite activity,KAYAKING!!!Since we were the first group,we had to drag the kayak down to the sand and had another briefing.Before going onto the kayak and into the water,we first had to go in the water and float with our PFD.A PFD is actually like a life jacket but different in certian ways.After that we had to do the rockwall...I did not get a chance to do it as it suddenly rained...We all had to go to the canteen to assemble again then we had outdoor cooking!We had to cook our own food that was given to us.Mine turned out to be a success!After that, we had to wash up and I met my other friends at the washing station and all of them were holding on to their stomachs.They all had a tummy ache!I was quite suprised as I did not have a tummy ache but they did.After everyone finnished washing up and putting their eating utensils back into their bunks, we had a sing-along prelude!It lasted for 1 and a half hours and we were all exhausted after that.Later we had our night snack and then a night briefing.After the briefing, we were told to go back to our bunks to get our camp booklets to write our reflections.By the way, at that time we had not had a bath yet and my group was still covered in sea water so it was very uncomfortable.It was really late and many people were already yawning so we were dismissed once all of us were done.All of us quickly went to the toilet with our stuff and had our baths.The water was as cold as ice!I was completely awakened up by the water and was not sleepy anymore.I only slept at around 2 plus and was woken up at 3 plus!I did not even get a proper rest after a whole day of activities!I was really tired but I had no choice so I went to take another cold bath.
