Wow, my Outdoor Ed camp was awesome!! It was so much fun, and I think it was not only tiring physically, but also mentally, because of all the fears that you had to overcome, ie. my fear of heights.

First things first, 5am is very, very early to wake up. I think it is amazing stuff when you are up between the hours of 3am and 6am, you feel like the only person on the world. It’s the weirdest feeling. We all got there and found our way though.

High Ropes was the most fun for me, and the most challenging. I was shaking by the time I got up to the starting platform…it just looked so high! I was literally freaking out and because I was shaking, when I started on the ropes, they shook more violently than before. Oh well. I overcame that fear, and although I didn’t go on the highest one, I am still very proud of myself for doing it. I think if I got the chance I would have gone on the high ones to challenge myself. As the instructor said, we were being challenged at different things, high ropes was the height…
Canoeing was great, I got sunburnt and we had a nice swim though. I love anything on the water, so I don’t care.

The night was OK, most of the time we sat around just talking and things, like you do.
6am this time. It was still pretty early, Tina and I were the first ones up and everything felt so weird, because it was all dark and deserted.
With the wake up call, we all got up, weary eyed, and most of us managed to make it out of our rooms too! For those of us who were too tired, we learnt that yelling and lighting are good ways to wake the dead.

Abseiling was pretty lame, if truth be told. It wasn’t that fun, but we had to have trust in ourselves to do it. The hardest part is walking over that first ledge, not knowing what is coming. It is so scary, but once you get over the edge…you get to the bottom and if you are lucky, you escape with minimal amounts of rope burn.

Rock climbing was great. I did a marathon rock climb, where I repetitively went up and down the rock face, without touching the ground. It was great fun. It was good, because there were many walls for all different skill levels, and we were all challenged in some way. Me, it was the height again, and, after a nasty fall at school which resulted in lots of pain and bruising around my chest (don’t ask), it was actually trusting the belay-er again.

Coming home we were all pretty tired. A stopover in Cooma, a meal at Subway and 45 mins later, we were back on the road, destined for Canberra.
So, between this, Mowbray falling on the high ropes course, lots of laughs, jokes and games, badly prepared macaroni and cheese and the numerous amounts of mistakes people made (but were able to laugh at later), I think it is safe to say that the Adventure Sports camp is a really fun one!

Apart from all of this, I got some excellent, embarrassing and incriminating footage to put into my video. *Breaks into evil laughter*
