COMMUNITY & THE ARTS FOR Kids BY Kids

Hello Maryborough!

My name is Phoebe Lee and I am eleven years old. For Kids By Kids tells kids what’s going on in Maryborough from their point of view.

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about camping.

I wrote about the great outdoors and what you should take on camp.

A week later, I had a brand new camping experience - Year six camp.

For those of you who don’t know, or perhaps haven’t yet had the pleasure of going to a school camp, year six camp is where everybody in your grade at school, along with some of the teachers, travel to a place where you get the opportunities to do several unique activities and learn valuable skills and lessons.

It is a really fun experience and I would love to do it again.

If you are wondering about the difference between normal camping and year six camp, there are a few differences.

One of these differences was getting to share a cabin with some of my classmates. The experience was very enjoyable, like one big sleepover.

Our knowledge was also tested in a very amusing night of trivia.

Some of the activities we came across in camp included:

● Canoeing - This activity was one of my favourites, where we partnered up and paddled around a lake in canoes, playing various fun games to test our skills.

● Orienteering - In groups of three, we had to navigate our way around the camp using only a map. It was very exciting and we encountered lots of wildlife along the way, including a whipbird.

● Rock Climbing (My personal favourite) - In this activity we had to work together to keep

Sun 16 Jul, Sparks Dance Centre our friends safe as they climbed up to the climbing wall in harnesses.

● Flying Fox - Perhaps the scariest and most breathtaking activity, the flying fox was an eleven metre tall zipline, where you had to climb up a ladder to reach a platform and away you went! It was scary, but worth it.

I was very impressed at the courage of all my peers, no matter what point of the ladder they reached, it was a wonderful example of determination.

Camp has taught me how to work together and to trust others, of which I am very thankful.

My time as a Scout also gave me much confidence to do these activities, and many other useful life skills that helped me on camp.

A big thank you to all the parents and teachers who helped organise the camp (and let’s not forget the staff at the camp, who provided delicious meals and organised all the activities too).

You are very much appreciated.
