First day:
It all started when we turned up to the school nice and early and sorted the last things out before we squeezed the suitcases into the coaches and headed of to hatfield forest. We were in tribes of our own choice and our first activity was fire, sadly we could not keep our fire lit so we got the camp leader, Glen to help us out. We cooked kebabs on the fire, They were not very tasty . Our next activity was shelter and as a tribe we had to build a shelter, we then had the chance to sleep in them. I thought that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and i took the chance and slept for the night.
second day:
One of the camp favourite was a game called predator, the objective was to get to the man in the woods without being spotted. You had 5 seconds to run and on five he would turn around and send anyone he sees to the starting line. We had a big cooked breakfast in the morning, we then had cutting tools/survival bracelets and had our nutrition talk and went on a lovely walk around a miniature part of the forest because it was huge. We had pizza for lunch and trap making, followed by popcorn. One of my favourite activities was the camouflage and concealment, we got to wear face paint on our face and played games, we then watched how to panass salmon, they then cooked the salmon and bon appetite dinner was served!! We then later around the campfire and sang songs and met up with the other camps. We all had big discussions about our funny experiences so far at bushcraft. I then slept in the shelter for the second night
third day:
We woke up to delicious american pancakes with divine chocolate sauce. We learnt about wilderness survival and I had to race in the winter survival bag and we won! Later on the camp tucked into the lovely rice crispy goo. The main activity was the bushcraft challenge, we had to build a small hut, a fire, trap and also help heal our tribe leader. We sadly could not sustain a fire but we borrowed a fire for some lovely marshmallows. Following that for lunch we had fajitas for lunch, they were scrumptious. All camps then packed up, said our goodbyes and left the camp.
