Year+6+Camp

On March the 30th all year 6 students from St Clair School went off to school camp at Camp Iona. We all had a wonderful time and would like to share some images with you. The gut buster was a breeze and I won. The gut buster was like a big cliff that had been hit by a giant sledge hammer and smashed to pieces. When I finished I felt hot and clammy. I was proud and happy all the way back to camp Iona. Mum was delighted and grateful when I got home. Camp Iona was great!

“This is going to be awesome,” announced Rawiri on the way to Camp Iona. “To the gorge expedition” shouted duty group B, sprinting down the grassy and muddy hill our shoes felt like lead weights sprinting down there. Once we got there our guide was waiting for us, he told us all about the safety rules then we got our harnesses on. It took everyone about ten minutes to get their harnesses on. Then we started to walk down the track.

The guide told us if we were going to get down to the river we had to follow the little bits of tape drooping down from the trees. We had to crawl under fallen trees and walk across thin tracks that have crumbled away down the hill as we made our way the river gorge. It felt like boulders would come tumbling down on us. Once we got down to the river we had to walk through it with our shoes on! The river was as cold as ice and some people fell over. It was so enjoyable! Connor
