When I got to school, I was nervous.

But after the first night of camp, I was pumped up and ready to go.

We did all sorts of things like surfing and kayaking, but giant stand-up paddle-boarding was my favourite: as we drifted along the water, the battle commenced! Jumping from board to board, plunging into the water…it was so much fun!

As we sailed home on the ferry I wanted to stay. Homestead Camp was amazing and I will miss it next year.

A short time ago, we went on our Year 7 & 8 Homestead Camp. Although it got tiring towards the end, the whole experience was amazing. I met people I otherwise wouldn’t have connected with, and I learned how to cook (to a certain extent).

Some highlights of the camp were surfing, kayaking, and the Gourmet Meal night. I’m pleased to report no one got food poisoning! I can honestly say there weren’t any bad parts … but I was so glad to sleep in my own bed when I got back!
