This year the Year 6 students headed to Kangaroo Island for camp. Some of the fun activities we participated in were, sandboarding, visiting Flinders Chase National Park and Stokes Bay.

On the second day of camp, we went to a place called Little Sahara where we did sandboarding. We could choose to either use an actual sandboard or a toboggan which you sat on and could hold two people. I went on a toboggan. I sat at the front and when I slid down from one of the lower parts of the sand dune, I got sand sprayed in my face. Some people were very brave and slid from one of the higher parts of the dunes.

On the third day, which was our final full day on camp, we went to Flinders Chase National Park where we visited multiple places, they were Admiral’s Arch and Remarkable Rocks before stopping at the entrance for lunch. At Remarkable Rocks we could explore and most people chose to play hide and seek. Some of the giant rocks had very interesting shapes like a bird’s head and beak, a pig’s head and there was also a rock that had a small opening so you could go inside.

After all these fun adventures we travelled on the bus for around an hour while listening to a playlist that the bus driver had kindly created for us. Eventually we arrived at Stokes Bay. When we arrived, we were on a small beach but to get to Stokes Bay we had to walk through some rocks which were huge. At the end of the path, through the rocks, there was a beautiful beach with a big rockpool separate from the ocean because it was surrounded by rocks. We also went in groups of six to explore the rocks and the caves they formed.

We had an amazing time on camp from spending time with our families, visiting new and exciting places, learning about the landmarks on Kangaroo Island and of course enjoying this special time with our friends.
