Arwen wrote about Cub Camp

Arwen and Rhys left Cape Town and moved back to the UK earlier this year. Before she left, Arwen wrote this this article about our Cub Camp. We miss you guys!

I went to cub camp from the 25 – 27 February. 

Cub camp was at Hawequas and it took two hours to get there.

My mom came with as she was helping to cook the food at cub camp.

We put up the tent together and after that I started carving a rock into a heart. That night two astrologers [astronomers! -ed] taught us about the stars and moon. Me and my mom saw two shooting stars. 

In the morning we made alien hats. Then we smashed rocks for the geologist to examine. 

It was very very very hot so we swam in a cold pool. The pool had frogs in it. The frogs jumped round our feet. That night we went into the forest for a campfire. We sang songs and danced about. 

It was the best weekend I’ve ever had! 

The next morning we did PT (pointless torture) and it was hard. Then we had muffins. Then we got into a group and got badges and we went home! 

I really want to go back, it was fun and I learnt lots and it gave me exercise. 

My favourite thing was making up jokes at the campfire. 

The best thing was doing it with my cub friends and family.
