Last week, the OLS sixth grade went to Camp Wartburg in Waterloo, Illinois. We did zip lining, pond study, high ropes course, low ropes, whale watch, built fires, and gaga ball. In gaga ball, you had to hit another person below the knees with a ball to get them out. When we built our own fires, we learned what to use and what not to use to build a fire if we were ever stranded in the wilderness. In the evening at the campfire, we learned fun camp songs. With "whale watch", we had to separate and balance on a board without the board touching the ground. For low ropes, everyone's feet had to be touching the square of wood that was about 1ft x 1ft. On the high ropes course, about 30 feet in the air, there were small courses that you had to complete. On pond study, you tried to catch living things in the pond so that you could study them. The zip lining was around 30 feet high in the air, too. Everyone had a fun time. -- Lisa
Last week, the OLS sixth graders went to Camp Wartburg in Waterloo, Illinois. When we first go there, we unpacked and met some of the camp staff. Some of the counselors were Ben (aka Mufasa), Lindsey (aka Duckie), Jenna, Dylan, Jacob, and Laura. The first thing we did at camp was learn survival skills with Duckie. We were all split into groups and did many survival activities such as building a shelter and even building a fire. At camp, we did some really fun activities such as the pond study, high ropes, zip lining, and gaga ball. One night, Mufasa built an outdoor fire, and we all sat around it, sang camp songs, and roasted marshmallows. The food there was amazing. Our cabin was pretty far away from where we ate our meals, but that was ok since we got a pretty nice workout walking there. A number of bumps and scrapes can be found all over the sixth graders - from bruises all the way to bloody knuckles. In my opinion, Camp Wartburg was AMAZING! -- Francesca
