My Holiday Event

YMCA Shakespeare Camp

On Sunday the 27th of April my uncle , my sister and I  hopped on the bus at the War memorial park saying our last bye to our grandparents before we leave. Afterwards when we got in the bus we waited for the bus to leave. Just before the bus driver start the bus, I saw my uncle put his headphones on and start his music ready for the long ride. When everyone was ready the bus driver started the bus and and left. On the long ride to North shore to pick up some more people for the camp and then got to Whangaparaoa Peninsula Army Bay, Shakespear Regional Park where the camp is.

When we got to the camp we got our bags and went inside their hall ( Reck hall ) and sit down. When we sat down we were put into our separate cabins with different people my sisters cabin was cabin 2, my uncle's cabin was cabin 9 and my cabin was cabin 10. My sister was in the junior groups and

On the first day we had been put into groups yellow, red and green I was in yellow and my uncle was in green when we got put in our groups we went on the courts that gave us enough time to make new friends the first day I made one friend and then at night I ended up friends with everyone in my cabin. While we were on the courts our instructors called out to have afternoon tea  the afternoon tea was a drink with a biscuit. After we had our afternoon tea we had played a little more and then our instructors made all the seniors go to our meeting places to know what are our new activities are then the seniors followed an instructor and his name is Owen we followed him through the bush and then a few minutes later he said he was lost then another instructor came and told him where to go then he showed us the way through the bushes to the grass on the beach.

When we got to the beach we sat down in a circle and went  around the circle saying our names and what we like to do. After we learned everyones name we played a game when we all hide before 25 seconds and the seeker stays in on spot and try to see if the they can find anyone and if they do they have to describe what colours and kind of clothes they are wearing. The seekers can turn around looking for other people and if you get caught you have to go next to the seeker and sit down the seeker is not allowed to move and the the seeker will start counting down from 20 and we will have to run down and hive five thier hand and run and hide again then the seeker will count down lower and lower until there are no hiders left.
