Year 6 Coolamatong Camp

Coolamatong was a very fun camp. All the staff were amazing but we especially liked Keith! He was so funny and he knew all the Gen Z language, like ‘womp womp’. The activities we did with him included survival and bush cooking. Everyone loved bush cooking- we made popcorn, pancakes and damper. We also kayaked with Leah and we played a game where we split into three groups and threw a ball to our teammates and then threw it to Leah. And we won! There was another Leah, Chef Leah, who cooked yummy food.

Year 6

On the first night, we slept in tents and cooked food in the Trangia. Mostly vegies… not that much pasta. We had an awful sleep and in the morning we went on a hike. Three snakes slithered by, making some of us scream. After a challenging hike, we ate wraps on a pier and we caught a ferry home. All together it was an amazing Camp!
