Camp this year was fun. We went to High Africa. Its was one of my favourite camps. The staff was fun, funny and full of energy.  My dorm was amazing, bathroom was clean and the beds were neat.  The activities were very fun, in cold or warm weather,  I still enjoyed the games. I loved the food, it was amazing, we made roostebroed on the first night and on the second night, we made potjies. The breakfast was good as well, we had cereal ( Rice Crispies or Corn Flakes ) and after we would have toast. One the last moring of camp, we had Flapjacks.

Millie felt broken-hearted when she heard it too. Bertie saved two men when he had a injured knee. For that he won VC (Victoria Cross) and was well known.  After a while Millie became a nurse to go help at...

Two weeks ago we were on camp. We went to Giraffe House just before going to camp.The driver stopped the bus in front of Giraffe House and everyone was relieved that we were out of the bus and able to walk around.First thing we  did was introduced to the staff and our reptile show director. Then  he started the reptile show. He asked Kian to go up, he took out an bearded dragon and put it on Kian's head. Next he ask Coach Isak to go up. The director grabbed Coach Isak's hand and put it over an blue pillow cover. The director said "are you ready?" Coach Isak nodded his head and put his hand in the bag.He pulled out and American corn snake, the snake was bright orange and was quite small.Now for my favorite part at Giraffe House, the director asked"who is the best princess , girls?" Chumile put up her hand, well her friends were putting her hand up. She was looking very nervous , she went up. The director pulled out and huge bull frog. The director said to Ch...
