Camp Bentzon Chapter 4

Friday was the day we had to go back to Auckland. First we had to load all of the gear back on to the ferry, I was hoping that I would get a  bag that had wheels but I was wrong. Then we had to take all of the rest of the food that we didn’t eat.

When all the gear was loaded on we got on to the ferry. The driver told us that there were going to be picking up other people. They were going to the mansion house, that was a famous governor lived in.

Finally we got to the bus. The ride was very boring, I fell asleep just before we went through the tunnel that is under a hill. I woke up when we went over the harbour bride. As soon as I saw the sky tower I was happy to be back in Auckland. I just couldn't wait to get home and sleep in my bed.  

Athletics Day

On Wednesday we had Athletics. The sports that we compete in are shot put,100m,75m sprints,discus,javelin,softball throw and high jump. I didn’t come any think this year,but hopefully I can do better next year.

My Party Billboard

I think that National is going to win but the gap between Labour and National is going to close a bit. My heart is going for Labour,but my heart is going for National.  Hopefully the people in Glen Innes will vote because hardly anyone votes from our area.

Camp Bentzone Chapter 3

As soon as we got to Camp Bentzon we had to go for a tramp up a hill, all the way to this pile of rocks. On the way up the hill I was exhausted the ground was very slippery and, we weren’t allowed to slip behind Miss Garden. When I got to the pile of rocks everyone was eating, I was so thirsty.

Rita said a speech and put her stone on the pile of rocks, when she finished we walked down to this bay and had lunch. Most of the kids starting skimming stones, Marvin was the best, he could probably make a stone bounce 8 times. But Mr Barks was one of the most consistent skimmer he would skim a stone 4 times.
  
  After all the kids had a rest we had to go all the way back to the camp. I really didn’t like walking,but if when we get back to the camp we’re allowed to go for a swim. I was one of the last people to get back to the camp, my cabin mates were waiting for me. So I had to hurry, as soon as I got back we all went for a swim.

Camp Bentzon Chapter 2

I was waiting to go for a swim for the whole day. Finally we were allowed, but as my feet touched the water I was starting to get second thoughts about going for a swim. I thought to myself if I could get to the pontoon then I would be fine. So I took my first dip under the water and I felt a bit warmer.

When I got to the pontoon I climbed on to the steps. The pontoon was crowded with people so it was hard to get on to it. As soon as I got on I bombed off it, my splash for my bomb was huge (just joking). Now the pontoon wasn’t crowded with kids so I got on the steps easily.

We now had to head back to the beach. Everyone was quickly swimming back so they could be in the showers first, when I got there they were full. I had to wait for about 10 minutes until I could have a shower.

Camp Bentzon

 

I thougth that I would be good at steering the sailing boat, but I was terribly wrong. I was absolutely rubbish at sailing. When ever I was trying to steer to Typhoon the yacht we were aiming for, my boat would go the other way. I was sure that I would capsize our boat.

Then it happened, me and my partners boat capsized it all just happened in a flash. I aimed the tiller to the sail and our boat was turning around but Crusader didn’t let the rope out then whoosh a wave came and knocked us over from the side. Me and Crusader  quickly jumped out of the boat as it was flipping over.

We had to back on the boat, and sail all the way back to shore it was shameful. As we got close I was relived and jumped out of the boat. I could touch the ground so I just pushed the boat back to shore. I now know that I am not good at sailing.

Kawau Island.

In one week we are, going to a island called Kawau. It is 8km off the mainland of New Zealand.

Camp Bentzon is on Kawau island, you have to go there by ferry from Workworth or from spit bay. We have to go by bus to get to Workworth then we have to get on the ferry and load all our gear on to it.

I’m looking forward to jumping off the wharf. Richard and I are going to have a legendaray bombing challenge, I am definetley going to beat him. He is being so cocky about him thinking that he is going to beat me, but it is not going to happen(I’m calling you out Richard. I will beat him.

The challengeing thing for me is going to be the burma trail I hate doing them. The last one that I did was last year and it was freaky. I didn’t know what was going to be around the corner, and if someone was going to pop out of a bush and scare me. But I am also looking forward to the burma trail I want to be the first to get to the end of it.

I can’t wait untill we get to Kawau Island. This camp sounds like it is going to really fun.
