The blog for day 3 of OSC Grade 9's Week Without Walls is written by Ceola Daly.
Today I, along with my 32 other classmates in Grade 9 of
OSC, woke up and went jogging, followed by stretches and then a cool down swim
in the river. Although at first this was widely unwelcome because of the time,
we soon all woke up properly and enjoyed it.
After Breakfast we split up into two groups. Group 1 (not my
group) went off kayaking, while my group (Group 2) prepared to go White Water
Rafting by learning about River Science, which at first seemed slightly boring
but then proved to be extremely useful later on.
Getting into the rafts, Group 2 split up again into two
groups, 8 each in a raft. My raft was 8 of us + Ms Amanda + Richard. We set off
rafting, and although parts of it were a struggle with patience and physical
strength, everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. We all came back excited for lunch
and kayaking, only to find out that apparently the kayaking was very tough for
the other group, leaving them still glad they did it but very tired.
After lunch, Group 1 and 2 switched activities and we headed
off to out starting points. Honestly, even though kayaking was pretty tough, I
found carrying the kayaks tougher. During kayaking, we were all sort of scared
of going down the rapids, although there were only 4 capsizing moments (2 of
them were mine.). After kayaking it was raining, so walking back to camp while
muddy, wet and sore was not ideal, and we were all a little tired and grumpy,
but we liked it nonetheless. Afterwards, we all washed up and just watched a
video at the Long House to cool down.
This was probably the most tiring, but definitely the best
day of camp so far.
