Camp Reflection

This year at Camp M.E.R.C 2015 the thing I enjoyed the most was body-boarding because when you do catch a wave is is so fun if it is big because it literally throws you at the shore.

Something I learnt was how to load and fire a bow, how rip tides work and why you should swim between the flags at a beach.

Something that surprised me was how hard it was to fire a bow accurately, how far apart the rungs on the Giant's Ladder were and how hard Stack'em high was.

The thing I was most proud of was being able to climb to the top of the Giant's Ladder and hit the target in Archery.Advice I would give to the next Year 6s would be to push yourself but know your limits because it makes everything far more fun.
