The Crossfire. (Year 8 camp recount)

The Crossfire.

It was the time all the Year 8’s were waiting for. Year 8 CAMP!, Around 8:00 am all the year 8 students arrived waiting in the hall with all there luggage. As soon as the buses arrived we were all so so excited! We loaded up our stuff onto the buses and off we went! It was almost a 2 hour bus ride. We were coming up to the camp… Then we were here! We took all our belongings inside the dining room.  We put all our belongings into our cabins after.

Then we did our rotations my favourite rotation was paintball! This was my first time doing paintball, we use slingshots and we were give a handful of ammo I loaded up my slingshot and I was ready to GO!.  Then I took some cover behind the tyres I quickly peek shotted managing to hit one of the enemies! I could see other enemies waiting for a good shot. I quickly ran around the tyres diving towards the mud.  to dodge every shot but the enemy managed to shoot me right in the chest!, The pain was unbelievable I felt a quick shock I yelled in pain! “OUCHIE!” I was out for the rest of that round!.

Then came capture the flag! The referee put the flag in the middle of the battlefield. I was in the red team the opponents team was blue he yelled “On your marks… Get set… GO!” Off I went sprinting towards the flag in the crossfire their were paint-balls flying across my face! I picked up the flag, two of my teammates escorted me back to base while the blue team were furious to get the flag. I had just made it back to base I could hear and smell victory!.

I felt like this was a well worth camp the whole camp was all about leadership and showing support to help others. This was a very fun camp and and also a good way to learn about leadership!.
