Camp Bentzon Top 5 tips.

  Five top tips.



Dear future campers, Camp Bentzon is on Kawau Island with heaps of water Surrounding it. Camp Bentzon is the best thing about being a year 6 student. There are water and dry land activities every single day. There are lots of wild animals but do not feed them because our food is not good for them. You always have to have a water bottle with you because that the only thing you drink or you can thirsty. You are not allowed to go up into your cabin if you are dripping wet because that might make someone fall and break their bones. I have Five Top Tips for you about Kawau Island Camp Bentzon that is going to help you!!!!!!.


My First Tip is about Killer hill.


I thought Killer Hill was going to be normal but no there were heaps of sticks and rocks and steep places on Killer Hill. You will have to have a water I mean a water bottle not a teeny weeny one just big one to carry water.

It would have been so exhausting if you were to wear long pants like JEANS. Airy clothes are the best and take a mini fan that just uses batteries not a charger. Have a hat with you because you will be in the boiling hot climbing Killer Hill. Don’t take a school hat just a mufti hat( Any Hat but not a school hat).




My Second tip is about bringing Water Shoes

The reason why is because there are heaps of sharp oyster shells, sharp shells and rocks. We get to swim at the end of the day and it is high tide and that is very hard to swim but your water shoes help you to swim a lot. Water shoes keep your feet warm. You have to use water shoes for every water activity, If you don’t have water shoes and it is a water activity then unlucky.

Don’t bring water shoes with you in your cabin or it might smell like the beach, just leave it outside on the side of the door to dry. Water shoes are used every time you enter the water.




My Third Tip is to not talk in the morning if the hooter is not blown.

The reason why is that the people in you cabin will not get enough sleep for the big day. You will wake up the cabin next to you cabin. It will make the teachers anxious and you would have to mob the floor after dinner. You will not get enough sleep and you will fall asleep in the middle of an activity.




My Fourth tip is you walk into the dinning room like an adult.

First you have to put on shoes. Be quiet or you might have to sit outside on the porch and not eat your meal. Seat up so your group can eat first. Always have your fork in your left hand and your knife in your right hand, You put your spoon in the hand you write with. Bring your water bottle with you because that the only thing you drink because they do not have drinks for you to drink

Never talk when it is time to eat dessert because there is only limited flavours and you want to be the first person to choose your ice cream!.



My Fifth Tip is if you are still hungry and you want seconds

If you want seconds you have to sit up with a big smile on your face. You always have to have a clean plate when you are looking at Mr Goodwin or Mr Somervillie. Never talk because you might be last getting seconds.
