Carey Park Camp 2010

What a great time we all had last week. Carey Park is an amazing place for new learning, new social skills and pushing your personal boundaries.

Before camp we set some goals, many of which were about persisting when times became tricky and hard and I am sure that most of you had one or two moments when you really had to focus on what it was you wanted to achieve.

For this post, use it as a place to describe the things you liked and the things that really challenged you. Did you overcome those challenges?

Tell us about the exciting times that you experienced at Carey Park Camp 2010.

I had lots of fun at camp! I enjoyed Kayaking , Cooking , Taking Photo's all the way through to the end! Unfortunately during Kayaking it rained and I was soooo cold. But I am glad to say my dad helped out during camp and I was with him three times! The Burma Trail was moderately amusing but not as entertaining as I thought it would be and the only scary thing was getting a shock when they jumped out at you , or grabbed onto your foot! I think I persisted very well in all activities but espesially Bush Study whenn I kept slipping down the exceedingly muddy hill. I am very happy with how camp went for me and I found Orienteering quite adventureous!

Last week or so, camp has been a great experience for me and a chance to know all the fascilities around Carey Park althought I've been here last year. Some of my highlights are the flying-fox, the inventors-lab and the BURMA TRAIL. I know one of the popular activities was the scream-machine but I didn't like it very much because I felt really dizzy and I had a headache after that. Sprisingly I needed my persisting skill in all of the activities especially the archery,and the cimbing wall. The poles and planks, confidence course and the orieenteering needed a lot of team-work. The creation factory was also fun, looking at photograhy.Comment on Mathew's post= I agree that it was a bit of a shock when the man grabbed you on the foot and the bush-study was SO muddy. I LOVE CAMP BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WON'T BE THE SAME NEXT YEAR!!!
(By the way I went in the burma-trail by myself,that was a great accomplishment! and that was a really scary story you told Andrew!!!).

This years camp was so cool! my favourite activity was the creation factory where you walk round taking images of the atmosphere, enviroment and all the chaos and mayhem around the place.The food was awesome as usual, so were the parent helpers, instructors and teachers.
