Best week ever :D

As you know, last week was year 8 camp. We went to Sir Edmund Hillary Outdoor Pursuit Centre also known as Hillary Outdoors or OPC.  What I found most challenging was Bridge-Jumping because it was hard letting go of the bridge and falling into the freezing cold water.
I found Caving and Flying Fox pretty easy. It wasn't really what I expected because I thought the bridge would be higher, but I'm glad it wasn't that high. My proudest moment was when I jumped off the bridge because I couldn't believe I actually did it. I didn't really have a "favourite moment" because I enjoyed every bit of camp.
I really liked being in the same cabin with Millie, Grace, Caitlin, Sharon and Katherine because they're my best friends.
At the high ropes I expected myself to start crying and screaming to get down, but it was the total opposite. I loved it.
I really have to thank Frankie because without his encouragement, I would never have done "the birth canal" or bridge-jumping and he also volunteered to do high ropes with me.
