Inquirers El Rancho Camp - by Julia

On Wednesday the 18th week 3 our class and room 14 went to El Rancho on a two night camp. El rancho is a camp for children to have fun at. There is a Playground, Tramps, Water-slide, Pool, Rock climbing, Horse riding, Archery, Team initiatives and Low ropes. 

Day

On the first day we all arrived at camp bang on 9. Then we got straight into it, we walked down to the dell were we were camping and put our gear away. First up we had Team initiatives, so our group made our way down to the area that the Team initiatives was set up. A nice lady called Jules taught us how to do all the activities.  It was so fun. Next we had Low ropes where we had to balance on the ropes. That was also so fun. After some morning tea our classes went for a walk down the river then to the estuary then to the beach. On the way we had to identify the different plants in the different areas. When we got back it was 4 so we had afternoon tea and then had free time from 5 till 6. At 6 we had dinner which was make your own hamburgers. After we got ready for bed and got in our tents at 8.30. Then at 9 we went to sleep.

Day 2

On day 2  we got up ready and had breakfast and started our activities. First up we had horse riding. We had to put on a head cover then a helmet. I was first in the line to choose a horse to ride. I chose a horse called Bonnie that was the colour bay. We hopped on and walked around the paddock then hopped of and I got to lead a horse twice and he was called Rusty. He was chestnut.

After horses we had the rock wall and the instructor was called Ruban. I got to the top of the easiest and medium wall. I was so proud.

en we had Archery it was in an old shack that had been made into and archery shack and I did not hit the dart board I was very disappointed.  That night we had nachos went to bed at 9.

On day 3 I woke up in the morning with 6 infected mosquito bites. After breakfast we packed up the tents and packed all our gear into the parent helpers cars and drove back to school and had a shared morning tea of the leftover home baking.
