 Summer Camp San Carlos 2017

By Abigail & Madison

Day one

At seven thirty am on the twentieth of February 2017 we set off in the car to Port Howard, on our way to Summer Camp, at San Carlos. We talked and talked until we got there and got on the ferry with the other camp kids from Port Howard. When we got to New Haven, we were glad we were nearly there and drove the short distance to Goose Green. We had great fun in the school playground, it was huge! After eating lunch, on the steps we got in the car for San Carlos. This time, Beth, Jessica and Kate were also in the car with us. It was forty five minutes and it was a long drive with LOADS of hills on the way. When we got there we put up our tents. The other team made supper and we thought of team names. Beth, Alicia ,Kate, Scott and I were in the . . . Lions!!. Madison, Jessica, Anthony and Emma were the . . . Wolves!! .We had burgers for supper and angel delight and fruit, for pudding. Then we went to bed and talked! Scott was especially excited because he had never slept in a tent before.

Day two                                      

We woke early, at six forty five and talked. Then we got dressed, and went into the house and had breakfast. A bit later the Lions went to the museum and Wolves went to pottery (more on that later). The Museum is a small cabin but seems huge there is even a section on the watch group and a picture of me (Abigail)! I loved the war zone because it is my favourite subject. We also set some (hard) questions for the wolves on the war. Then we went back and had some delicious smoko! When we had finished, we went to Andi’s place to paint some pottery. I did a starry night and a sun set, other people painted clay penguins and dragons. Then we came back and had a barbeque with sausages on a stick and toasted marshmallows. After lunch, we walked to Blue Beach Cemetery and read the names on the graves and found out what regiments they were from. We spent quite some time there reading and all felt quite moved, by the time we got to sign the visitors book. Finally, we went to the beach and made landscape art pictures of our animals with natural materials. When we got home we prepared Shepherd’s Pie for dinner and ate it all! We played drama games, did a freindship web and finally went to bed.

Day 3

Wednesday morning, after breakfast, we drove to Wreck Point and hiked for about an hour to Ajax Bay, stopping for smoko on the way. Ajax Bay is where a hospital was set up in an old abattoir, during the war. The sign above the door still reads, “the red and green life machine”. There is also a memorial, where soldiers were buried before their bodies were later moved to the cemetery at San Carlos or back to the United Kingdom. There was also a large colony of Gentoo Penguins.

We ate lunch on the beach, it was a beautiful day. After lunch, Tracey Forrester, made us hot chocolate in her Kelly Kettle. This was served on the beach with marshmallows. Kate and Anthony both agreed this was a highlight of camp. No one had ever drunk hot chocolate on the beach before!

The hike back to Wreck Point was harder on the way home. Hills and the wind tested us. Dinner that night was Pasta Bolognaise (Abigail’s favourite meal). One group helped cook each night and the other group washed and dried the dishes.

Day 4

Thursday morning, after breakfast, we had to squeeze all our belongings back into our packs, and pull down the tents. When all the work was done, we drove back to Goose Green. Everyone was tired and very dirty. San Carlos is short on water, so no body (teachers included) had showered for 3 nights! Back at Goose Green we showered, so as not to offend anybody on the trip back to the west. It was one of the few times we had been looking forward to a shower ever, in our lives!

So, refreshed from a shower, certificates were presented and everyone agreed it had been an awesome camp! Abigail and Madison were sad to say it was their last camp camp.

The kids who lived on the west had to go on the ferry to Port Howard and some of the kids had a longer journey to get home to Fox Bay or Spring Point Farm.
