School Camp Captions!

Today we made funny pictures by adding captions to the photos we took during our camp in Hokitika, here are some of mine below. 

Highlights of Camp!

Recently, my class and I went to Hokitika for our class camp. I would like to share my favourite memories from the time we spent there.

Let's start with the first day. We arrived at our campsite and played about for a while. Don't worry that's not the good bit. The good part is where we went to the Industrial Museum. They had lots of cool old stuff there including this awesome train, but when I say train I don't mean any old train with a roof or walls . . .  It was awesome! There was basically this long bench that you sat on like you were riding on horseback and we went through this cool bush track that looped around to back where it started. We also saw these cool old fire engine trucks!

After our time spent at the Industrial Museum, our next voyage was the trip to Lake Kaniere. We started fires, ate smores and went swimming! The water was freezing but it was still super fun. 

Day 2! This had to be the best day of the adventure. It began with the gorge walk. There were soooo many views - especially over the bridges and at the lookout points. All too soon our walk was over though, and now it was time for lunch . . . And the treetop walk! 

I don't think I'd ever been up so high, but it was really awesome to look down at the creeks and nature. There was this tower at stop number six and after embarking up a spiral staircase, you reached the highest spot! It was really amazing - I don't think I'll ever forget it.

After our walk up in the treetops, it was time for our surprise. Our teacher Nic arranged some stuff at this place in Hoki and BAM! We got to go in helicopters! It was my first time in one or even up in the sky for that matter and when our group went up, I was lucky enough to get the front seat! That had to be the coolest part of the trip. 

The third day. It started when we packed up back at camp :(   Time to get back in the cars and go home. But not before stopping back in Greymouth for our swim at the pools! We stayed there for a while, had pizza for lunch and then it really was time to go home. But it was definitely one of the best camps ever!
