Green Pastures Camp 2017. Raft Building Accomplished!

Hi guys its Phoebe here! The reason why that I haven't been doing any blog posts lately is because I’ve been at Green Pastures Camp for two nights and three days and I am going to share with you the most interesting part of camp so yeah! Let’s get along!

Their were eight activities and our class had activity groups so the activities were raft building, ready steady cook, archery, target shooting, poetry,kaiaking, photography and team initiative course! So, for the most interesting part of camp was probably the raft building! So basically what you do is that you have to make some sort of raft by using wood planks and large plastic bottles. We were doing boy vs girls, it really depends on who’s raft would float for the longest while paddling with all their team on it, it's not about who finishes their raft the quickest and then their raft would just sink when its in the lake one of the team members in the girls which was Mia, she had an idea! Mia said to us to get four plastic bottles each, then we got to have some rope from Devyns mum to make our raft strong, when we put the bottles down, then we got 4 four wooden planks each, we put the planks in between the handles since they were skinny enough I got more wooden planks to make it look like a woven flax thing I also got more rope I tied the rope around and so did Katie and Mia while Devon was tying a rope around each of the wood planks and the plastic bottles to make sure it would be strong and hold the boy's copied us but there were more boys than girls so most likely the girls would win since there were less. time for the girls to put the raft in the lake and hop on it Devyn wanted to jump off so she did and so did some others like Thimansa and Katy so yeah while Mia and hopped off at on the landing part.Now time for the boys! they all hopped on but Ash and Luke were scared that their raft was going to sink because they were quiet heavy but they just hopped on anyways. The boys raft began to sink, then at the part where the raft was getting higher Jamie sat on that part and so did Kayde. Oops! the boys raft sank totally. the water was really cold, oh well at least they got refreshed by the water, and still some other girls were in the lake too! So yay!The girls won!! The boys did do well though too. After the raft building i grabbed my towel and dried my feet and put my shoes on ready to leave and get changed in our cabins! that was a lot of fun and quiet wet too! so thats it for today! Comment what your raft would look like if you had to use wood planks and plastic bottles to make your raft. Ok so that was my most interesting part of camp and bye guys!
