RIVER BY MICHAELA , NINA

On the 2nd day we went to the river.  I was going swimming but it was cold but I was swimming any way.   We were jumping off the side.  It was fun but very cold when my head came under the water. After that I asked   MrT if he wanted me to go and get some rocks from the deepest place in the river.  It was awesome and cold!
Amazing!! On the 16th of March we went to the river. I thought it was warm.  I swam across the river  7 times.  It was really exciting.  We got some tubes I swam under the people in the tubes. It was awesome and want to do it again!

Raft by Dylan & Dane

Camp was fantastic. I really enjoyed raft making. Firstly, we made a raft. We made it with bamboo, 6 tyre tubes and ropes. It turned out really good. Then we put it in the water.  I fell off. Splash! It was extremely, awesome and funny. My favourite thing was the river. It was fun. I had a fantastic day!
