bridge valley camp


           This story is about room4 s three day trip to Bridge Valley Adventure Camp.

Some of the activities were, rock climbing, high ropes, go-karts, archery and lots more. Only high ropes, go-karts and rock climbing need a instructor all the others don’t need one.
   
My favourite activity was the high ropes. The high ropes are a group of ropes that are strung up in the trees. The ropes are so high up that you have to wear a safety harness with clips to stop yourself falling and a helmet to protect your head.


Another activity I liked was the slippery pole. The slippery pole is a slippery log that is hung from the roof by chains above a mat that’s about half a meter high. The way you use the slippery pole is you are given a pillow and then you climb up onto the log and another person gets on with a pillow and you try to hit the other person off the log with your pillow.



I also liked rock climbing. To do rock climbing you need a harness to clip onto the robotic bilayer that is at the top of the tower. There are four climbs, easy medium hard and extra hard.      


                                                                                                                                      On the second evening we were visited by a man from the Otago University called Richard De Hamel who gave room4 a talk about life under the sea. He was really funny because he dressed a girl called Olivia up as a fish.                                                                                                          He dressed another girl called Brooklyn up to show us about what it’s like under the sea.             
He also put on a puppet show about the food chain.

The food at Bridge Valley is yum. The meal I liked best was Thursday’s lunch which was fish fingers, chicken nuggets and chips.
