Yr 8 Leadership camp

on Wednesday 5th of august the yr 8 went on camp. We went to Thames which was a 2 hour drive so it took a while a lot of people fell asleep on the bus but when we got there it was pretty cool then we had to get our bags out of the bus and put it in piles then line up in team lines then we got introduced to Zach and Phil. Phil was the owner of the camp and him and his team lived there and the cabins were put on 2 sides the boys side and the girls side. But our first activity was in the gymnasium and we did something called cross games each team went into a corner and we started first working on our chants then we got into activity i forgot which order they went in but i remember one game each team had to go to a line and lay down next to each other first facing opposite ways and one person layed down on the matt and the people laying down had to pull the other person to the end and the first team there won after that we did it again but instead we had to go there and back it was fun but one team got stuck far behind and then every team participated in helping and we also did an activity were we lined up in three lines the lightest people in the middle and 2 strong and fast people on both side then we had to jump on this thin matt and the people on te side of us dragged us around 4 tires and then when we made it to the end we hopped off and let the next person go. camp was fun and very exciting.
