5 minutes of Camp

LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp

As our instructor was giving us a helmet and a harness I was thinking why do we need the helmet. I had an idea of someone falling and then that's when I was worried for my life. As I was climbing the ladder I felt scared but when I got to the top my stupid eyes looked down, I panicked because someone told me to walk across the log. I tried my best to balance myself but my whole body was shaking like I was in the coldest country. I took one step as I could hear people cheering me on telling me I could do this. I kept taking the slowest step as my legs were shaking. I almost made it but I was so scared I turned around and asked if I could come down. As I touched the ground my body stopped shaking I was ashamed that I didn’t make it to the end.

Last week we went to camp at Kokako Lodge. My 5 minute snapshot shows my personal voice and I have tried hard to paint a picture with my words to describe what I was doing and how I felt. I found this activity fun and interesting because I was given the opportunity to share my thoughts and express my feelings about how I felt during the high beam activity.
