Wilsons Prom
The year 6 camp to Wilsons Prom was about to begin. The ninety-nine students eagerly awaited the buses arrival. Three and a half hours later we arrived at Wilsons Prom.
After we arrived, the teachers took us on a walk to our campsite.It was a five kilometre walk. Just after finishing the walk we found out that we did the long walk over the mountain but we could have done a one kilometre walk. We were not happy. We stopped at Tidal River. Tidal River is very interesting because it is where freshwater meets salt water. It is very brown because of the nutrients that seap into the water. We walked to camp and began setting up the tents. Later that night we climbed Mt Oberon. It was a long, hard walk but the breathtaking view made it worth while.
The next day we walked to Squeaky Beach, Bike riding and shop and Canoeing. They were great fun. Later that night we did Biddies Walk. The teachers told us that one of the kids had been kidnapped. It was a joke but it really scared some of us.
The next day we did Orienteering, Surfing and ed centre. Surfing was awesome. I did three 180′s and rode backwards. It was cool. That night was Trivia Night. Our team came second by 0.5 of a point.
The next day we did beach games and boogie boarding. It was fun, I won our class flags but came eighth out of all grade six boys. That night there was a massive storm and we all got soaked. Half of the tents got flooded. We were lucky it was the last night .
The next day it was time to go home. It was a long drive back.
This was a great camp and I would do it all over again.
