The two best activities were power boating and go carting
Power boating was fun because we got a ride in marine’s style powerboats after about 20 minutes we got to take control of the power boat we went in to port at 12 O clock then a few of us went sailing but the rest went canoeing on sailing the people who went sailing got to see the decommissioned ship HMS Bristol we got a tour round the ship by the crew.
Go carting was fun because it was indoors and the carts went up to 45mph we were split into groups of 10 most of the time it was to see how fast we got round the track there was a lot of bumping of each other.
In the evenings there were competitions between 6 flights we were in.
On Wednesday we had a game of tug of war in the evening
On Thursday afternoon we got a chance to fly in a Chinook the Chinook flight was very bumpy the flight lasted for 15 minutes After the competitions in the evenings we had free time until 11pm,We had breakfast whenever we wanted it before our activity started.
At the camp there were shooting competitions at the range which was quite fun
The tug of war was extremely challenging because it was brute strength test and I was put on anchor and I got huge rope burns.
