Totara Springs

My favourite part of the year has always been the holidays. No work just going places and sleeping in.

This holiday I was fortunate enough to go to a camp named Totara Springs with our Riverside club. On the way there I was so excited to do all the activities from last year again.

When we arrived at camp the first thing we did was go to our cabins. Georgia and Tapunu’u(our leaders) got us organised.

he next thing we did was go to the lecture theatre. As we entered I saw everyone and thought it was going to be a hard competition this year. Every year at Totara Springs there is a competition you have to sit up and be good to collect fake money and who ever gets the most wins. Pt England is well known because all of our teams won last year(senior and a junior girls and boys).After that we went back to the cabins we worked on our booklets(gives you points) so that we can defend our title as best cabin at prize giving.

After that we went back to the cabins we worked on our booklets(gives you points) so that we can defend our title as best cabin at prize giving.It was the next day it was time for the things I don’t like at camp devos(devotions). They introduced the new speaker for our camp. His name was captain Eric. He was really cool and fasinating because he used magic to make it interesting to learn about god.

It was finally time for our prize giving we were so nervous. Everyone quickly went to the lecture theatre. They said thank you to a couple of people and then it was time to see if we had defended our title as best senior girls cabin. They announced the junior girls first as the camp co-ordinator said “it goes to Pt England“ all of us started cheering. They were finally announcing who won out of the senior girls. We were so nervous we crossed our fingers as they said Pt England school all our teams stood jumped up and started cheering. It was time for the junior and senior boy to hear if they won. Obviously Pt England came out on to again defending our title as best cabins. At the end of the night we sang to the lord for the last time at camp as the next day it was time to go.

My favourite part of camp was GYOB!!(get your own back) it is when you are aloud to put mud, water and other yuck stuff on our leaders the best thing is that I got to tackle my principal (Mr Burt ). I cant wait until I go next year!!
