Exploring the Water

LI. To inform others about a certain 5 minutes of camp

Activity group 2 went down to the Hunua falls. At Hunua ranges we saw the waterfall. I was so terrified looking at the waterfall crashing down on the rocks. The activity was our choice, our challenge. We walked down the path to our challenge. 

“Click” the helmet fits perfectly on my head. Another “Click” came about as I put my life jacket on perfectly. I was ready to take on my challenge. I was going to kayak on the water and overcome my fear. “Go Texas!” my group said encouragingly. I felt a sense of relief with my group behind my back. 

I grabbed my paddle, my hands were shaking, my body wet from the life jacket used by the previous group. “You can do this texas” I thought, I gained up all of my courage, ‘splash’ one side of the paddle went in the water. Another “splash” came as the other side of the paddle went down in the water. As I kept paddling I got the hang of it and I felt great about it.
