Fear Factor

By Kathleen, 10 years old, Room 5

We had a fabulous camp up the mountain at Konini Lodge. My favourite part was Fear Factor! Each day we completed up to three challenges including eating a pepper leaf and sitting in Wilkies pools. The hardest challenge was sitting in Wilkies pools, it was freezing, and I came out shivering. Eating a pepper was hard too, unlike Wilkies pools, it was boiling hot on my tongue.
On our tramp to the Waingongora Hut we stopped to cross the extremely high swing bridge, even the parents had to go across! Although everyone agreed that the view was wonderful. When we finally arrived at the hut Mrs. Vincent held another Fear Factor, and do you know what we had to do, we had to stay in the long drop for one minute and it stank. On practically every tramp we had to cross the raging river. It was easy. We accomplished this by holding the adults hands and going from one to another. I completed all these challenges and I am proud!
FEAR IS NOT A FACTOR FOR ME
