Camp Reflection - Freya 9A (Group 1)

Our group attended the first ski camp, where we had a great time and made many memories. Our first adventure happened on the way to Howmans where a tree fell over the road and we got held up for an hour, but it all turned out well because as we arrived at Howmans Gap it started snowing, which only happens a few times a year. We were also lucky enough to also see snow on top of the mountain. 

The girls enjoyed Mrs Barnes and Mrs V reading them wonderful bedtime stories.  We also had many laughs along the way, one when Michael, Clare and Freya stacked it off the drovers ski lift, because no one lifted the bar and when Jonah took out Cillian at the bottom of the monkeybars run because he couldnt stop. 

Camp Reflection - Lola 9E  (Group 2)

Monday 24 August, Year 9B, D, E and G went to ski camp. The bus ride took around 4 hours to get from Quambi to the YMCA camp site. 

On Tuesday, the rain was pouring and many students got soaked. The first group got their skis, ski boots and helmets and planned to go skiing, but the wind was so strong it was cancelled. On Wednesday, both groups went skiing. We had lessons on how to get the skis on and off and how to walk in them. We split into smaller groups and went with our instructors down the different ski runs. Thursday was a repeat of the day before with more time to ski with teachers as a group or with a partner. There was a dress up night for dinner on Thursday, and some people really committed to the task! Friday came and many people were so tired and ready to go home, but some wanted to ski more. It was another 4 hour trip back to school and so many people were tired, with quite a few slepping on the bus.

At the ski camp, I really enjoyed skiing with my partner. It was good friendship bonding time and even though I was really scared about the ski lifts, I really liked going on them, talking to my friends and enjoying the views.
