Camp Rumbug
My Ultimate Camp Experience

Raft Building
There were many walks we had to go on , but Raft building was different .
It was the first activity , you got to learn how to tie knots and build rafts.
It was cool and cold. The air was pushing the trees.
Lex , Cristina , Rebecca , Albie and I were racing to build our raft but the other team was struggling.
We set off. I jumped on like there's no tomorrow all was going good till … the raft creeks - splash- “ Ahh! “ “ go, keep going! “ I say, freezing to death. The barrels wobble and the wood planks turn but all was good.
The Ultimate Camp Experience
By Jacob
At camp, I realised that I really like flying foxes. I walked down what seemed like the steepest hill in the world. The sun was beaming down on me. I was really hot, but excited for the flying fox. I was also a little nervous as well. I had never ever been on a flying fox before. This one was really high and went above the lake where people do canoeing.
The flying fox started up on a really high hill with lots of yellow, dry grass. I walked up onto the wooden platform where the metal wire of the flying fox was connected to. I was connected by a harness to the wire and I slowly stepped off the platform into the air.
It felt like I was really flying. It was terrific. I loved feeling the wind blowing against my face. I was going really fast. I landed with a thud on the bark. The best part was that I got to go onto the flying fox another four or five times. The flying fox was the best part of camp.
