I stood in the rain waiting to board the bus and when I finally did we were off to Sandspit. When we reached Sandspit we waited for the rain to stop and then boarded the ferry to Kawau island. It was a short trip on the ferry, at least it seemed like it. On Tuesday we had our first three activities. I was in group one and we started with sailing. It was amazing, we sailed in circles but it felt like I was a dolphin gliding through the water. After morning tea we went to the confidence course, I sadly couldn't do it but I took heaps of photos. Our last activity of the day was kayaking. We were the first group to reach Survivor island and it was so cool.  On Wednesday we explored some New Zealand history at the Mansion house. There were wekas, peacocks and ducks  and I learnt heaps about the Mansion house. On Thursday we did our last activities and first we had archery. I stood up and shot my first arrow,  I felt like jumping for joy when I hit the 9 but I kept it inside. Next we went to bivouac making and only the girls bivouac survived. For our free choice activity I picked archery and I was getting worse I think I could bearly even hit the target but I still felt proud. All together it was a fantastic camp!
