Jaim's Broome Camp Experience

Broome Camp

On Monday the 5^th of September Room 15 went on a bus to Broome and I sat next to my friend Locky. Most of the time I played a game called Five Nights at Freddy’s, but the rest of the time I talked to Locky. When we finally got there everyone was ready for bed but first we needed to have dinner.

On Tuesday we went to the croc farm. When we got there we got to hold a baby croc. Then we went to a big croc pool and It was cool when the crocodiles jumped at the food during eating time. After the big pool of crocodiles we got to see Bluey who was the biggest crocodile of them all!

On Thursday we went camel riding. I got slobber on my pants from the camel behind me and I had to change when we got back to camp. After that we did prusiking and low ropes. During prusiking we were told to go upside down, and I did kind of good for my first time trying. The low ropes was like an obstacle course with tight ropes and stuff.

 

On Friday it was time to go back to Tom Price. I sat next to Locky again and played FNaF (Five Nights at Freddy’s) again. Eventually we did an auction with our camp money that we got for being good. I won pom poms and I had fun with them for a little bit but then I gave them to someone else who wanted them. After ages of waiting in the bus we got home and I had my birthday the next day and Jaim lived happily ever after.

Lachlan's Broome Camp Experience

 

Broome Camp

Rrrrrrrr... The bus purred slowly along the road with the most awesome person in the world on it... who is me (If I can say so myself).  But on the bus I was sitting next to my friend Jaim who is 1% less awesome than me.  But now let’s get cracking on.

On Tuesday the first thing I did was do some team games where we had to line up in card order from ace to king and we broke the Broome Camp school record of eleven seconds and got 9.54 seconds! Then we went down to the surf and did some boogie boarding and I tried body boarding for the first time! At that moment in time I thought of my friend Jasper who was not able to come on camp. After lunch at the crocodile farm I saw Bluey and he nearly lunged at the fence and ate someone’s arm but they got out of the way just in time. We heard about a guy who was drunk, he came to the crocodile farm, climbed over the fence and got bitten by a crocodile called Fatso and then went back to the bar, bragged about getting bitten by a crocodile, he drank a few more beers and 2 years later lost his leg through infection. Later that night we had Team Feud and we used the Family Feud board game to play our game.

On Wednesday we had breakfast then we had a surf carnival where we had to run/wade/swim around Morph and Yindi and it was lots of fun. Then we had a Chinatown tour which I didn’t like because I had to do work. But at least we got ice-cream from Wendy’s which was awesome so thank you Mrs Rolton! Then I did the Amazing Race and I had to eat a cup of melted jelly without touching it with my hands and that made me look like a baby because someone in my team had to pour it down my throat and I choked twice.

On Thursday I had a camel ride and I was on a camel called Eli with Yasha on the back seat. That was lots of fun! Then I did prusiking and low ropes, first I did low ropes and that was when we were climbing along steel ropes and swing logs and stuff. Then we had prusiking and that is a difficult thing to explain so if you want to learn more just #googleit. Then we went to the Willie Creak Pearl Farm where we learnt how pearls are made, then went on a boat tour and we saw a pearl shelf that they put the oysters in. That night we had an Astro tour, where we learnt a lot about the stars, moon and how the earth spins.

In conclusion, that was a really fun holiday! I did all of these events: Bus ride to Broome, boogie boarding, team games, croc farm tour, team feud, surf carnival, Chinatown tour, amazing race, camel rides, prusiking and low ropes, Willie Creek Pearl farm tour, and the Astro tour. All of these events were ABSOLUTELY AMAAAAZZZZING!

Year 6 Broome Camp Recount

“ Good morning Campers! “ Mrs Rolton got us out of bed and told us to get dressed then sent us to breakfast, it was our first day in Broome as a class the Girls were in Onyx and the Boys were in Joker and we had camp groups Roebuck, Gantheaume, Cable and Broome. After breakfast we had Team Building Activities, my favourite activities were the 3 way tug-of-war and toxic waste it was a blast. After that Mrs Rolton sent us to our dorms to get dressed and get ready for the Beach.

As we were walking to the Beach we could smell the fresh beach air and see the seagulls enjoying the breeze. When we got to the sand we put our boogie boards down and sat down to listen to the instructor as he told us to stay within the flags. As we were running to the water Mrs Rolton took a photo of us and it looked amazing. When we got into the water it felt so good because we don’t have a beach in Tom Price, it was so much fun.

On Tuesday afternoon we went to the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park and there were lots of crocodiles and our tour guide was Mr John, he was really cool. We also got to hold baby hatchlings with hair ties around their nose so they couldn’t bite us. After that he told us facts about females and male crocodiles as we toured the park, along the path to the side was an enclosure that held Bluey the male crocodile and his two females. Bluey was trapped in a Victorian river after killing a horse and he was really BIG!!!  After that we went to the gift shop to buy merchandise, our visit to the crocodile park was the best highlight ever.

On Wednesday we got up and did the same thing like on Tuesday except we got into our togs and got on the bus and drove to Gantheaume Point. When we got out we had to get into single file and walked down to the beach. Eventually we reached the beach and put our stuff on the trailer and waited for the teachers instructions. After listening we got sent to the yellow poles and lined up. Once we were lined up we had a race in the water. After that we had morning tea and when we finished that we listened to the teacher again and got our boards and went out to the water and surfed the waves, it was amazing!

On Thursday we got up, got dressed and had breakfast we got on the bus did a head count and drove to Willie Creek Pearl Farm, it was a really rough road and we drove on dirt tracks.  When we eventually got there we had lunch and it was delicious. After that  the tour guide Megan told us to go and sit in the tiny show room. During the show we passed around the pearl shells and she opened up a new oyster shell and it still had its body parts and it was still alive, she told us many interesting things about pearls it was great and I got to pull the pearl out of the shell it was disgusting yet fun. After the small show we got on a boat and went to look at oysters that were still growing pearls. It was an interesting day.

On the last night we packed our bags and at 4am we got out of bed, got dressed and got our bags and waited for the bus. By the time we left it was 5:30am so we were an hour early. When we were nearly at Tom Price Mrs Rolton started an auction it was really cool. I won a jump rope and other people won some interesting prizes, it was fun. When we got home we had Roadies and then went straight to bed. It was the BEST CAMP EVER!

Broome Camp Five Fun Packed Days

 

We were off to Broome, we said good bye to our parents and we were off to Auski Road House, where we had a bathroom break.  Then we got on the bus and drove to Port Hedland and had our lunch that our parents had packed for us.  We arrived in Broome at approximately 7:30pm we were a few hours late but we were really excited when we got there, we got our bags and put them in the bay then we went to dinner.

 

When we got up on Tuesday morning we had our breakfast and we walked down to the beach. The waves were HUGE and we ran straight to the water. The water was so warm it was lovely. We body surfed and Hana and I did backflips when the waves came, we also dived into the waves it was so much fun.

We walked back to camp and had a quick shower, got dressed and we got on the bus to go to the Crocodile Park.  When we got to the park we sat down on the benches and had a talk about how to stay safe around crocodiles, then got to hold a small hatchling they were so cute (my favourite animals are crocodiles so I was very excited).  We walked around the farm and then we got to feed the crocs. We went to the gift shop and I brought a crocodile teddy we got on the bus and went back to camp, we had dinner and went to bed. My bunk buddy was Keira.

The next night we walked down to the beach and we had a beach BBQ dinner, the food was really yummy. We had hotdogs and hamburgers. As the sun set we took a lot of photos of the sun setting and we had silhouettes which looked really cool.

On the last day in Broome we got up at 6am and had breakfast at 7am we went down to the beach and meet the camels.  Hana and I were partners and we went on the most energetic camel they have, it gets up and down really fast.  We also got to feed our camels at the end, once we were done with the camels we went to have a look at the newly found dinosaur foot prints they were found on Tuesday the 6^th September and we arrived on the 5^th September so it was pretty amazing!

It was a great week, however we had to pack up and go home. It took 11 hours to drive back to Tom Price, we were so excited to see our family. I didn’t get to see my dad the first night because he was on nightshift but he surprised me in the morning. We had such an amazing time and I think it was the best experience I’ve had in my life time so far!

My Day At Broome Camp

My Day At Broome Camp

It was Wednesday and we all had to wake up. It was pretty early but everything was okay. I got up to change my pyjamas into my day clothes and so did everyone else in the boy’s dorm. We then all finished up and went to brush our teeth then we went outside. Since we were the breakfast setters and servers we had to go outside earlier then everyone else to set the food up for breakfast.

Then after we set the tables and had breakfast, we then changed into our rashes and shorts.  We went to the beach in the bus and had the legendary surf carnival. We had a relay around Yindi and Morph and then ran to the beach. We then did some surf boarding, we had fun. We then sadly had to leave the beach and head back to the bus for our Chinatown tour.

In Chinatown we then did an exploration and looked around. Chinatown was very pretty and cultural, to many tourists it is very beautiful and filled with relics.  After an hour or so of exploring it was time to head to the camp school and have a beach BBQ.

We walked down to the beach and had an Awesome BBQ! It was so delicious and lots of fun. I played Frisbee and Cricket with my buddies and pals, it was an amazing time!

Now it was time for the legendary Amazing Race! After we packed the BBQ we went back up to the camp school. I was ready for this as I had waited for the Amazing Race for 2 days, so I was exhilarated to be involved in this race!

So our first challenge was to make a paper airplane, then we did a hacky sack challenge near the boys dorm which was extremely hard.  We also had a challenge called Who is the Better Builder? then our next challenge was called SMILE, Aim and Shoot followed by Wobbles! And there was even more.

We were up to the last challenge but sadly we had ran outta time so then we went back to the dorm. We brushed our teeth then tucked into our beds ready to sleep in preparation to start a new day!

Broome Camp Recount

I usually don't wake up at 5am in the Moring. But today I was going to camp which I have been waiting to go to for a long time.  However I fell asleep at breakfast no joke, great start to my day!

I also get car sick so I thought the bus trip wouldn't be good but I did not get sick. After getting to the camp school we organized our dorms and went to bed, we had bunk beds.

The next day we went to Cable Beach and it was probably my favourite activity out of the whole camp because the waves were large enough to fully submerge you under water.  Also at the beach we went boogie boarding, that was FUN!

After we got back we then went to the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Farm, that was a cool experience. We got to see our guide feed the crocodiles and risk getting his arm eaten. We saw one of the biggest crocodiles there, his name was Bluey, we also got to hold a baby crocodile and that was fun too.

On Wednesday we had a surf carnival and that was the most challenging thing out of the whole camp except for waking up early. We also had a beach BBQ, that was fun we saw a big crab and it pinched a student.  After we got back that was the most challenging night to fall asleep, because the majority of the boys were getting out of bed and playing with flashlights.

On Thursday we went camel riding and I kept thinking that it would bit me. But I learnt a bit about the camels and mine didn't stink!  We also had prusking and to me it felt repetitive.

The camp was fun and challenging and I look forward to going on camp again.

Alyssia's Camp Recount

"Beep, beep!"

We were on our way to Broome. We went there last week from the 5th to the 9th of September. We were there to try new things we had a great camp experience in Broome.

We finally arrived in Broome, we were so hungry and tired.  We had to learn the rules  for the camp my favourite was always smile and do the dishes.  Then we had to have a shower and go bed we hade to go to bed at 9:15pm.

On Tuesday Room 15 went to the Croc Farm. We met a croc named Bluey, he was a really big crocodile. We heard there were 2000 crocodiles living in the 2 parks. Malcolm Douglas the owner has  lots of different animals.  Some were so cute and cuddly, others were scary and violent. At the end of the tour we went to the gift shop and I got a glass crocodile.

On Wednesday we had to go straight to the beach for the surf carnival. Room 15 were kind of surfing but we were paddling really hard, it was so much fun at the beach.  That night we played the amazing race it was so challenging, my team tried so hard to get the answers right.

On Thursday when I was doing low ropes everything was so easy, because I was tiny and they had to fit me in the spider web and I was able to fit though easily.  When I was prusiking I had so much fun Room 15 had to hug and kiss the wood at the top of the climb. We finally arrived at the pearl farm that afternoon, and I got some pearl earrings and an oyster shell.

We had to go home on Friday so we packed our bags.  During the trip we had a silent auction I won a rubber ducky, which was quite funny!  I had so much fun on camp, I would like to do it again real soon.

On Monday my dad and I woke up at 4.30am to get ready and I was so excited. We went to the school teacher car park and we gave Mrs Rolton our money so she could keep it safe, we waited for the bus to get here. The bus driver  came and we had to give him our bag then we could get on the bus my dad and mum said goodbye and off we went. I went on my iPad and watched some movies on the DVD player, it was fun!


On Tuesday we went  on the bus and went to the crocodile park and I took some photos and we got to hold a baby croc it had a elastic around its mouth and they kept on wriggling around. We walked around the park and saw other animals like alligators, birds and even bluey the crocodile and dingoes. Then each group at a time went in the croc shop to buy stuff, if they wanted to buy stuff and then we took a photo and went back on the bus.

On Wednesday we went to the beach BBQ and we saw a crab, Alyssia and I made an aquarium for it and then we found some sea slugs and we named the crab and the sea slugs. For dinner we had a hot dog, I put some sauce on mine then I had a burger, it was so good. We had some photos then we had to leave before it got too dark and before we left we had an icy pole and I said thank you, We couldn't go back in the camp if we didn't have our pop stick when we walked in the gate.

On Thursday we went to Willie Creek Pearl Farm and they told us how the pearl was formed and it was a really long process.  Then we went on the boat and the tour girl said that there were crocodiles' in the water and I got scared.  We hoped of the boat and each group went into the shop one by one, there were really expensive items to buy, I got an oyster shell with my money it was really cool, when we finished we had to go back to the camp it was a bumpy ride.

On Friday we had to go back to Tom Price I slept most of the way, went on my iPad, and watched some movies on the DVD player.  I was sitting in the 2nd row down from the front behind Sarah.  Alyssia was sitting with me but then she moved and sat at the back of the bus on the way home.  We had an auction and I got a money tin with 50c in it. We got back early so I had to call my Dad to pick me up, he came to get me and we went home. It was the best time ever because Mrs Rolton put a lot of hard work into the camp.

After breakfast I went in the pool with my cousin Sophie. After an hour or two we decided to get out because our skin turned all wrinkly. 

 

Before lunch Sophie and I went to Coles together to get some burger buns, some buger patties and some chips. After that we went home and had lunch.

 

After lunch we went to the nature park and had a dinner picnic. Then  we went home and went to bed because when we got home it was 9:49pm, way too late to be up!
