Last week we attended our first Scottsdale High School camp for 2024. Excitement was high as we set out for Camp Banksia at Port Sorell. After arriving at camp, we set up our dormitories and had a tour of the facilities. Our afternoon was spent playing basketball, flags and exploring the playground area, followed by a delicious dinner. After dinner we had a beach walk, which was fun and very scenic as the sun was setting. We had a trivia night to finish night one, which was extremely competitive. We worked in dormitory groups, and the scores were very close at the end of night one, with a few more rounds to be completed on night two. As we set off for bed, we were all full of energy which made for a sleepless night. We woke early, all very tired but keen for the activities ahead. The options for the morning were fishing, mountain bike riding or walking/yoga. It was a very enjoyable morning, and many of us got to try new activities and explore different places. Our lunch was delicious and set us up for a big afternoon at the beach. There were several challenges to complete at the beach, it was 7A verses 7B. It was very close in all activities, with a great deal of competitiveness and teamwork. 7A were the winners overall! We had some free time before dinner, followed by preparation for Year 7’s Got Talent. This was very entertaining, and each group put on a very creative and entertaining performance. 7B took out this challenge, in a very close contest. The last few rounds of trivia were completed in another close contest. This brought our evening to an end, and after a big day we headed off to bed. Day 3 had us up early and cleaning our rooms before making the long trip home. We had a lunch break, followed by a stop at Bridport for an Easter egg hunt. It was an awesome few days and I would like to thank all the staff for their hard work in making the camp happen. We are all very excited for more camps and adventures at Scottsdale High School.
