Lauras camp was a banger. The day started off with us not being able to get to the campsite due to some dire flooding of the river (RIP Lucy’s license plate).
We continued the first day with some campsite construction and some yummy food. We did a short knowledge relay with knots and skills. We had quite a cold night and there was quite a bit of rain so we all put up some rain protection the next day.
The next day started bright and early (it was completely dark when we woke up) with PT. We then had a few activities for the day such as stalking and tracking and a rope burning competition. Then it was time for one of the most memorable parts of the camp which was the survival auction in which we won some quite odd prizes.
For dinner that evening we did backwards cooking which was eventful. And then we all started preparing for the iconic campfire that was run by Oliver and Simon. The only rule was no invisible bench but of course we had to twist the rules. The campfire although it took quite a long time to light was extremely fun.
Some of the seniors ended the day with a few cards games which some of us gracefully lost. The last day we spent the morning packing and loading the trailer. Getting back to the hall we realised we had to put up all the tents and traps which was quite a process.
Overall the camp was a great experience that I will remember fondly.
