So last week we went to OPC camp (Outdoor Pursuits Centre) and came back on Friday 15th of March. During my time at OPC, we did so much stuff but some of the things I found a bit challenging (scary.) Especially the first cave we went through while caving and now everyone is probably like, "that cave wasn't scary and we had tons of room to move about," that's what I think now too but before I went in the cave it looked small, dark and full of water. I managed with help from the adults, Caitlin R. and Nicole. Another thing I was like "Oh my gosh" on was the wobbly bridge on the high ropes, it was really high and when your on something wobbly and your shaking the wobbly thing shakes too. I was paralysed for a moment but my friends kept encouraging me and I shuffled across that wobbly bridge.
My favourite moment was kayaking on Lake Taupo, not the tiring movement of rowing but the fun ride when the waves would push up the front of the kayak and the kayak would splash back down into the water or just letting the waves could push you around it was really fun and quite relaxing when your not scared of capsizing. I was really proud when I made it through the first cave. While I was crawling through, the water was up to my chest when I was on my hands and knees I found it really cold and I was afraid that my head torch would go out because it wasn't waterproof but the tunnel widened out eventually and I'm really proud I didn't chicken out.
I found the flying fox really easy, I loved the sensation of flying through the air and there was an amazing view of the scenery and the river running through the valley. Camp was kind of what I expected. It was fun,exciting, challenging and scary iin some ways but it was really fun. What I didn't expect was how the camp was set out but that didn't really matter.
