Green Pastures Camp 2nd-4th March 2015

Camp is amazing, If you go there are a few things you should know:

1.Give everything a try.

2.Have fun.

3.Try to make your dorm spotless or this happens:

There are lots of activities at Green Pastures such as The mud run, rifle shooting, archery, raft building, cooking, kayaking and the team initiatives course. This is all of them and how they are done:

THE MUD RUN!

The messiest activity on camp!! It looks VERY gross but once you’re in

you don’t want to come out. My advice - go for it and find the muddiest path possible.

Raft building.

My favourite activity was raft building. In our group it was Boys vs Girls. Our raft worked! Then we got tired and so we tried to flip it but there was one problem, our raft was unsinkable!!!

Archery

Yes I’ve hit the target.

Archery is seems easy enough but it’s really not. All you do is set up to the target, make sure nobody is in front of you, string the arrow, aim, pullback the string and… Release!

Kayaking

Hop into your kayak,(be sure to wear a life jacket), balance yourself, now you’ve done the easiest part of kayaking. Next you will notice that your oars paddles are on different angles, it’s ok it’s not broken! To actually go through the water you need to put a paddle in the water (make sure it’s flat) push it through the water, lift it, twist it, and put the other paddle in the water and repeat. Once you’ve done that practice for a while before you go out very far.

                                             

Air rifle shooting

Slip on some safety glasses and grab one of the rifles. Break the gun by pushing down the barrel you will see a little hole load a bullet with the sharp end in first. Then push the barrel down even further until you hear a click (may need an adults help).Fix the gun and you are ready to go so point the gun at the target (make sure nobody is in front of you). Make the little point at the end aim at the target and pull the trigger if you're expecting a big bang don’t because there’s just a little click!

There are some more activities on camp but I don’t want to Spoil them and those are my favorite.

Have fun!
