Camp Writting 2017

Before we went on the blue raft we put our life jackets on . I also put on a helmet.I was very nervous but excited at the same time.We had to listen carefully to the guide.We jumped in the blue raft and had a practice back and forward with our paddles to learn about being safe on the water.When we jumped in the blue raft the man pushed it hard into the water and we were on our way down the rapids.We all screamed really loud all the way down the river.There was lots of bumpy rocks and rapids.We needed to row really fast and dodge the trees and rocks.We went past the bridge and waved out to the rest of the class.We got to the finish line and had so much fun they said the next ride would be a race.We had to walk back to the start and wait for our turn.Our other class members were waiting on the bridge ready for our countdown.3 2 1 and we were off!We were paddling real fast and trying to keep ahead of the other blue raft.When we were nearly at the finish line our blue raft spun around 2 times.Then we hit a big rock and we all screamed "arrrghhh".We had to hurry to beat the other blue raft,but their blue raft spun around really fast.So we became the winners!!!!!Our rafting was finished for the day.We helped put the equipment back in the van.Most of us had never been white water rafting before.I really enjoyed it and would love to do it again.
