Outdoor Education Camp – English Narrative
The realization had hit me, like a ton of bricks; I would be sleeping in a tent for next three nights with my group consisting of Andrew and Sean. I checked my contraband phone, it was 8 of October 2017. “I’d be back on the 11th”, I had thought myself. The rusty, dusty bus had hauled to a stop, I knew that we were on the Tapanapa camp ground and that this was our stop. Strapping on the heavy, uncomfortable rucksack it sank in that I would be carrying this across twenty-three kilometres of rough terrain, in the hot, beaming sunlight.
Walking on the rocky, dirty brown path, I was completely oblivious to the fact that I passed a slippery reptilian, missing the creature by mearly the dirty socks around my ankles. This had This event shook the group that I had been hiking with as we had all passed the scaly reptilian. Thankfully, our veteran hikers, Nick and Alex we would have never known that we had been so close to the true scary dangers of the outdoors. Reflection on the situation, made me severely cautious of my surroundings. In my opinion, this terrifying yet seemingly void of dangerous experience, is a fond memory of the rigorous camp. Slowly awaking to the blazing sunlight, from the celestial fireball in the sky. I felt my stomach rumble with hunger. Opening the tent zip and walking across the dusty gravel towards the enchanting smell of fellow group members cooking breakfast I join the feast. I had cooked the leftovers from last nights’ chow.

The first thing I was going to do was eat a warm, tasty home cooked meal and enjoy a cold shower. Once we had reached the final 100 meters the group had been rediscovering the unforgettable experiences we had created on our exhausting adventure. Once we had reached the destination and had rediscovered human civilization, I had been relieved that would have to walk any more agonizing steps. I had felt like my feet were on fire, like I had just walked on burning hot coals. The grumbling sound of the engine sounded all of us to our feet, the beautiful sight of the dusty old bus had brought joy to me knowing that I would be on a comfortable airconditioned bus. The ride home was rough and tiring. Overall I felt like the adventurous camp was a valuable bonding experience as I had also live and learned about the
