Risk or challenge

 In camp, we were put into groups. We got to go out and do fun things like hiking, orienteering and nightline. Nightline was the most challenging thing I’ve done at camp.

The nightline was the most challenging out of all of them because we had to be blindfolded and could not see anything. first, we had to walk to where we will be doing the nightline blindfolded and that was challenging. Everyone was holding on to each other’s shoulders and we formed a chain so it would be easier and we could help each other. When we got to the nightline we had to hold on to a wire. The wire went all around the forest and the risky bit was trying to get to the end because the wire went around trees, under trees and through the roots. The hard bits were when we had to go around big trees and we had to bear hug them to follow the rope and we had to reach under the roots and that was hard because the wire was tangled in the roots. but walking back was also challenging because we had walk back in the dark and that was scary.

I was feeling nervous and anxious when we were doing the nightline because I didn’t want to walk into a tree and hurt myself. I felt butterflies in my stomach during the nightline and our hands were very sweaty. I was feeling very scared and didn’t want to do it anymore but I kept going. I was feeling very happy too because every time I would run into a tree me and the guy next to me would laugh and carried on following the line. I knew the guy next to me was scared because his hands were sweaty and he was holding tight to my hand.

When we were doing the nightline we were told to follow the line and walk through the forest blindfolded. My heart was pounding because I was so scared, I was scared because I thought someone was gonna come and kidnap us. While we were walking through the forest blindfolded I hit my head on trees and almost fell over because of the big rocks that were there. Those rocks were massive. Every time we would reach a tree the person at the front will yell out to the rest to watch out. Everyone was holding hands, that made it easier to move around and we can help each other. I was the one at the front and I regretted it because I kept running into trees.

Eventually, we made it to the end. I was so relieved that we had made it to the end then it was time to go back to the cabins. Once we got back to the cabins I went straight to the bunks and lay down.
