OMG camp was awesome! However, they told us that we would start with a two and a half hour tramp that was mostly downhill from the summit of the Rimutaka ranges down to Camp Kaitoke. Haha. Two hours after we started we were still walking uphill. Very funny, guys. The tramp was really three hours long, but that didn't matter. Near the end they put Jacob Warren at the front as leader, and he led us astray by taking us too far down one hill. So the chant of "Jacob's a homo *clap clap, clap clap clap*" started and lasted for awhile. The real fun started once we reached the camp. Straight into activities. First we found our duty and activity groups. My activity group was: Me, Olivia, Stevie, Jordan, Natalie, Jane, Matt, Harvey, Paddy, Jesse, and Taylor. Man was that a funny group. We started with tyrolean, which is making a rope bridge across a ditch between two trees. So we tied the ropes and most of us safely crossed the bridge, with the exception of Jordan, Stevie and Natalie?, who chose not to cross. Next we had pontoon, which involved building a BRIDGE, not BOAT across a small stretch of water using two kayaks, rope, planks of woof and a bucket. We failed epically, and every singloe person (except Taylor because he has a broken arm and can't get his cast wet) fell in an got drenched. It was amazing. Olivia slipped down a section of the bank leading into the water about ten times, therefore earning her the name "unco." Later we ate and had a short period of downtime, before heading to the meeting room for an, umm, meeting. During this meeting we chose our team name, made a flag, and created a chant. Our team name was WTF: Way Too Fast. Our flag failed, and our chant was pathetic, to say the least. It went like this: "It's blue in here, there must be some WTF in the hood. Say what? Hoo!
