After Camp: 2019

It has been a week after camp, and still cannot forget a moment from camp! It was so memorable! Preparation took time, finding all of the PROPER clothes to wear at the camp. It got more difficult when we all had to figure out how to fit our clothes like a jigsaw puzzle and almost as difficult as an actual puzzle. I'm just happy that the clothes were able to fit in. How I felt, now, I can't even start off how my excitement was boiling up! The only thing I can explain was that it was suspenseful, really. Thinking bubbles kept popping up with questions like what was going to happen when at camp and what was The Crossing was going to be like!
It was not until very early morning, like 7:34 am, that I had arrived, with a huge, packed suitcase full the necessities. The students and parents who've volunteered, lined, very formally into the colour groups they were assigned. As for myself, I lined up, with my colour group as well which, if you'd like to know, was the Purple Group. Colour groups split and formed into, what I like to call, Bus Groups. It was a long bus ride and to be honest, I really enjoyed being on The Johnston's bus. It contained really handy feature like light for, what I think is for reading to writing and drawing. Many stops we had stopped, and awesome they really were! I would have to say the stops on the fourth day, were for me, had the most stops that busted out a bit more fun then the stops at Day 1. Speaking of the stops during day 1, they were as fantastic as well! Hamilton Gardens, was personally my favourite. Jim Barker Memorial Park was another stop. Plenty other stops were there too.
After many looks out the window, and doing other things that would repel me from boredom, right across the edge of my eye, I saw painted bikes, I wondered where we were stopping now. Unexpectedly, I heard someone call out ''We're here, at the Crossing''. I couldn't believe my ears. We were here! I was astounded, wishing that I could just jump for joy but I knew I shouldn't. So I stayed put on my seat. Luckily, I got to go out pretty soon after that. I raced off to my bedroom, sensibly. I really like the wooden stairs! It was quite clever to whoever thought of that. I loved the bedrooms too! There were bunk beds and if there was something I really like, it's bunk beds. I did what I was I needed to do. It was finally dinner. Dinner was fabulous. The variety of food I had during the nights and days were very nice and nutritious! I rally enjoyed that.
The day after that, my hand were soaking wet. Wondering why? Because we went to Mt Ruapehu. I had my first ski lessons there, particularly on Happy Valley and I'm never going to forget it. Gear was what we checked out first. In my opinion, I did not like wearing the ski gear, I knew we wore it so that we could be cold resistant but I really found it uncomfortable. As soon as ski lesson were over, everyone split into their buses and headed back to the Crossing, where were staying. The next day, which was our last day at Mt Ruapehu, was also our last ski lesson there. I was really sad so really wanted to make it count. I did my very best that day and I found myself very professional. Free time then launched out and me my friends got to make Mt Ruapehu..sort of. We then skied down. I took my last chance to ski. Once again, I can't explain how exhilarating was it to have the cold atmosphere colliding on the face.
We went back to do the usual routine and ate dinner. I was bummed that the day after that day was going to be our last day, but at least I got to watch in the Narnia room!
It was the last, breakfast for me was peaches, milk and weetbix! Then, we headed off to go to amazing places. Hamilton Gardens was where we thanked the parents who devoted their time to help us and Huka falls, which had beautiful blue water rushing beneath my eyes and many more
Future campers, I recommend that you should be careful around each other, especially when going of the chairlift.

Day 1 to...
