My Thoughts and Feelings about Camp

My Thoughts and Feelings about Camp
I feel that I am excited to go to the year 7 camp at Motutapu Island because at camp you get to do a lot of fun things like kayaking, flying fox and rock climbing.
I am looking forward to going to camp because you get to do a lot of challenging activities and I haven't been to Motutapu Island before.
My thoughts about camp are that it will be boring when we go on to the buses and on the ferry to get on Motutapu Island. I also think that everybody will be tired when we have to take a long walk to get to the place where we will be staying.
