Tube Rafting

At camp Whanawhana there were lots of activities such as flying kiwi , abseiling and lots of other stuff. But my favourite activity was tube rafting. We had two big black tubes attached together with rope. Then we got into teams, I had Miss Northe as our parent and Sophie p, Sophie E and William. We got into the ice cold water and started paddling but a little way up the river there was a whirl pool I did not have a good feeling about this. Everyone was commanding each other what to do each other to paddle this way and that but we were still laughing and having fun. Finally we got out of the whirl pool and started paddling along properly. For this activity you had to have team work skills. There were thing s that we had to look out for like strainers obstacles and fast rapids. When we came to shallow parts we had to lift the big tubes out and put them into the deeper water. I loved going down the fast rapids and I wish I could do It again.
