Adventures at camp best birthday present

Lara Cooper, Year 5, Redlynch State College

-

IN WEEK 3 this term, Redlynch State College classes 5D and 5E went on camp to the Holloways Beach Environmen­tal Education Centre.

When we got to camp we had a big warm welcome from the teacher and then we all got to check out our cabins.

My cabin was called The Fish Tank.

My name is Lara Cooper and I was very lucky to have my 11th birthday on camp.

I have low vision and I can’t see things from far away but I can see things up close. On the bus I sat next to my friend Sierra and she helped me to get on and off the bus.

On the second day of camp we went on a boat.

That was my favourite thing because we went croc spotting, bird watching and set up crab pots. We caught fish in a drag net. My boat was the only lucky one that got a crab in a crab pot.

Later that day we went on the mud-pit experience.

The mud was very squelchy and disgusting but I loved it. It was awesome.

On the last day of camp we went on the high ropes.

It was really fun and really high.

I didn’t care that I couldn’t see well because I can do anything.

Thanks to my teachers Nancy Johnstone, Barbara Odell and my friends for helping me on my adventure at camp.

I may have a vision impairment, but nothing can stop me.
