Ohope Camp
Our class has just been on a camp at a little place called Ohope, I could barely wait for it. But finally last Tuesday it came, our class and room seven were all packed, and left for Ohope. On the way we stopped for lunch at Lake Okataina, it was really windy there but luckily at Ohope the weather was warm and sunny the whole time. We stayed at Ohope Christian Camp for three nights, from the 8th until the 11th of March
We went to the Whakatane Pools two nights and to the Awakeri Hot Springs the other! So we went to the Pools each night! We also went to a High Ropes place called Adventure Solutions. It was kind of scary but really fun!!! They were about 5-10m or so off the ground. One of the ones I did was like floating platforms, there were 5 of them (I think) and they were wooden platforms. You had to jump to each one except the hard part was that some of the platforms were on angles and the last jump was uphill! But I enjoyed that one the most! There was also a Trapeze one I went on, I had to climb up a pole and then stand on a platform at the top that was really wobbly and try to jump onto the trapeze!! I tried but I missed the trapeze! :( But it was still fun
Another thing we did was an Amazing Maze of Maize, which is a maze made out of Maize! We had to find which number the post was that had 24 out of the 90 questions on. Also we had to find which post about 12 pictures were on. That was alright but I enjoyed the High Ropes more.
Then the day after that we went wharf fishing for two hours then Kayaking for another couple of hours and then we went for a LONG walk down to Shelly Bay! The Fishing was fun but a bit gross (the bait especially)!! I caught 5 or 6 fish though! Yay! Shelly Bay was really cool as well. It had a few rock pools and a walk down to it had about 352 steps altogether!! I counted them but I may have counted wrong!! The kayaking was alright although it did get very tiring!
I would have to say that my favourite part of the whole camp was probably the High Ropes and my least favourite was coming home! Altogether though, I really enjoyed it and would grab for the chance to go to it again!
