Year 4 Camp 2016


Here are some excerpts from student’s detailed factual recounts about their recent Year 4 Camp to Wedderburn Christian Campsite:

"This is my experience at camp in 2016, and how I learnt to trust even more than I used to. At camp we did so many fun activities such as: the giant swing, the big flying fox, rock climbing and laser tag. When we did laser tag it was in the bush with obstacles like tyres stacked next to each other, or on top of each other. Our team was called ‘Thunderstorm’ and Sheridan was the captain of the team. We won the first round, but the second round the other team won. Zoe was the captain of that team; and, their team was called ‘Gun Puppies’."
