Finlay Park



Finlay Park was an ok experience. You get some confidence in you. It’s a cool place to stay. The run is peaceful. The activities are unspeakable, I can’t tell you. But what I can tell you it’s an unforgettable experience so come on in they are just waiting for you. Day by day you get more excited and sadder about leaving so we are trying to do all the activities as fast so we could do more things. The thing I like most was the glow worms and animal survival. Animal Survival is a game with cats, dogs, pigs etc. The Hunter is the highest or in other ways top dog. Then it’s the flood, fire and disease. Watch out for them they have to touch you to get a life. O the hunter just has to say bang and your animal name. Then it’s the dog, only the adults can kill the dog. I was the dog.
Now we are in day 2 and we are going to the spa and bungee tramp. It’s like a tramp. Just with a bungee cord so I went on the bungee tramp first. It was pretty cool. I kept doing back flips and forward flips and bouncing. After a while it got a bit sore so then I got off and went to the spa. Far out it was hot and stuffy. It was like a sauna but it was superbly hot. It felt like I was heat blasted. Next the tramp. A tramp means a hike so if you do go make sure you got some more pairs of shoes not like me. I brought one pair of shoes they nearly got their colour back so yeah now its dinner-time. You have to sit in a hall and get let in group by group. The food was ok but breakfast was the same. The Milo was too watery and dinner was different to breakfast. You got pies, burgers, salad if you wanted and different foods. Now it’s time to go to sleep. We get twenty to thirty minutes time before we need to go to sleep and two teachers come and check if we are asleep.
The next day at camp we had free choice. It was pretty cool. The confidence course was a really hard challenge. It was cold on the rope and water challenges. Everything else was easy. The blob can be sore if you land wrong. The Tarzan Swing is a scary experience but fun as and the slide into the lake, it’s FREZZING. Now we are on abseiling. It was really fun jumping off like an agent. You go the same way as the tramp.
We are back at camp now, exhausted after all the excitement we got to do what ever we wanted. We went to the gym running up the ramps and sliding. It’s dinner time. We had burgers yum. My friend ate all the scraps. Time for bed.
Good morning I slept wonderfully. Now its time for the run. Every morning you have to go on a run or walk. Time for the group activities. You just have to work.
In the 5 different games we didn’t come first.
Time to pack our bags and get ready for home. Sniff, sniff, good bye Finlay Park.
