Year 5 Camp at Living Springs

Year 5 Camp

Some of the Year 5 boys wrote about their ‘moment in time’ experiences at Living Springs in Week 9 of Term 3:

The second I got off the bus I could smell the fresh air and hear the birds chirping up in the trees. We weren’t even at camp yet but I was already having the time of my life. At the farm we fed the sheep, goats and a deer. After a long walk up the hill, we went to the indoor bouldering wall and played games such as ‘around the world’. The next activity was shooting the air rifles and we had five shots each. The last activity was archery and I hit the blue part of the target! Edward Farrell, 5O

My favourite activity by far was the Monorail. Zooming around on a small sled on a metal track was exciting, especially the corners, as it felt like you were going to slide off the seat! We also went on a tractor ride on the farm and I was sure the trailer was going to flip. Charlie Hutton, 5O

One of my favourites was the Archery Tag. This is where you got tagged with bows and arrows! Don’t worry, the ends of the arrows had nice soft rubber bits. We had to learn a variety of skills and then at the end we had team battles. Other cool activities were trampolining, zip lining and teamwork challenges. Lastly we slept in sleeping bags and it was super fun to sleep in a bunkroom with my friends.
