Story filed: school camp
Hello, people. Leo here. Last week my year group went on a school camp. It was three days long, Wednesday to Friday. I still feel really tired with sore muscles from camp activities and it didn't help that I also got sick from it all. The hacking cough started Friday afternoon on the bus ride home and the following weekend it wasn't any better. I'm slowly recovering and should be good in about a week or so. The camp was actually really fun. The activities were awesome and I was in a good cabin with some of my friends. I was also in an activity group with all of my friends during the day - bonus. Some of the activities we got to do were caving, high ropes, bush walking, rock climbing and the challenger valley which was a bunch of obstacles in the mud and water so we got absolutely soaked. The camp was good, hanging out with my friends, the food was good, and sleep was just about all right. The only thing that was not alright was that the packing list said 'more than one pair of shoes required ' (as our shoes were going to get wet) but I sort of thought that I would be fine with just the one pair. At camp, I soon realised that I would not be alright. At first, it was good, then when we did caving my shoes got drenched but not too badly, so I when around the rest of the day with my wet shoes BUT they did dry overnight! The next day when we had the challenger valley my shoes got truly absolutely soaked. As that was the same day we were leaving the best I could do was to have a shower and change my clothes and socks and try to dry my shoes as much as possible. Reader, they did not dry at all. For the bus ride home I just wore my socks and put my wet shoes under the seat. When we had a pit stop I would just wear my socks I didn't even bother with damp shoes. I definitely learned a lesson at camp: trust the list and from now on you will never catch me with just one pair of shoes.
Until next time
