Hanmer Springs School Camp

This week my class and I went on camp to Hanmer Springs. We left on Monday at around 8.30am and we arrived just before 12pm. We were put into 5 different activity groups for the 3 days and the activities we had to do were tree climbing, orienteering, mountain biking, Conical Hill and a cemetery and bush sculpture activity.


On the first day my group and I went orienteering in the bush. I found it boring because we just walked around and found some of the markers. My group came second to last. Then we got to go the hot pools which was cool because we got to go down the super bowl. I went down heaps with my friends.

On the second day we went tree climbing. We had to put a harness on and learnt how to abseil down the trees. On the first 2 trees I managed to make it to the top but the third tree was too high. I enjoyed this activity. Then we went mountain biking. This was my favourite activity because I'm good at it and I do it at home.
Then we went to the cemetery and on a walk. We saw some cool wooden carvings that had been placed in the forest. After this activity we got to go back to the hot pools.

On the third day we went on another walk up Conical Hill. Then we went to the lolly shop and then it was time to go home.
I enjoyed camp and would like to go back.
