“That Was Fantastic!”

There I was just studying in my bedroom when I remembered that camp was the next day. So I started to pack. My Dad was still not home when I finished packing. It got late so I went to bed.

The next day my Mum woke me up and said “Your LATE!” in a really loud voice. I woke up as fast as I could but Mum was gone down stairs. I quickly had breakfast with my sister she said,
“Dad is at work already” then went to school. Everyone was there already.

The next thing I remember is that I fell asleep in the bus. My friend Jason was sitting next to me he said,
“Are you awake?”
“Yeah” I said back. We were only twenty minutes away when I woke up. So we are there after that trip I wasn’t tired any more.

At our first bit of the day we ate and went hiking that took most of the day. The last thing we did is swimming the had dinner and went to bed the cabins stunk! The next day we went scuba diving and canoeing (not much fun).

The last and final day came quickly as it came everyone was afraid of the giant swing, it was the most highest and scariest challenge yet. The first half of the day was swimming, something that everyone could do, the last bit of the day was the giant swing. I was up first I went to the top and said “Now!” and I went flying. When I got off I said,
“That was fantastic!” So I waited for everyone else, and we headed off home. When I got home I told my mum what happened and went to bed!
