Highlights of Year 8 Camp at Kauaeranga Valley Christian Camp

 Last week we had year 8 leadership camp. While the year 8s were away having a blast at the Kauaeranga Valley Christian Camp the year 7s and some of the year 8s that stayed back had the step up programme with Mrs Ilaoa, Miss Tipene and Mrs Moala.

I had multiple highlights from camp but some of them were the cross games that we had on the first day. On the first day of camp once we had arrived at the campsite we went into our cabins to get our bunks ready, we also got changed into something comfortable for the games. There were games that we had and we were able to get points for our camp groups.

Long story short my favourite game out of the cross games was the body surfer. I was the one who got to surf on all of my group while they pulled me across the hall. It felt great to be supported by all of the year eights and I trust that they wouldn't drop me. It was a great time and it helped us to befriend people we didn't really know before.

From what I heard from the year 7s step up programme it seemed pretty fun. I found out that they also had teams and it was very similar to last years programme.

Overall I'm very thankful that we even had camp because during the lockdown it seemed like there wasn't even going to be one. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to step up as leaders and to make new friends.
