The Camp Out was great:

"Adrian said that a possum went into his tent and over his head. He kept on telling us it really happened . . ."

"Camp was a worthwhile experience that I won't forget. It was all about learning about nature and doing outside activities like hiking on steep hills and finding out if water is fresh or not.

We even did MacGregor Idol. It was so fun but embarrassing! You get to do things you have never done before. The food was just delicious!"
