As the teacher called out “Group one...” I was hoping that group two were doing orienteering. Then she said "Group two you are doing… orienteering!" We all stood up right away and we sat on the splintery seat at orienteering, while our camp parents, Kathryn and Justine, split us into groups. I felt relieved and I thought "Good, I'm in a mostly sensible group."
After that we got to select two map holders. "Me me me me!!" everyone shouted. Eventually they choose Felix and Alyssa. I felt a bit let down as I thought "Shame it isn't me, I'm pretty good with maps." Finally, Justine determined the boundaries.
"The boundaries are shown on the map and I know that the outside of the map is out of bounds so let's get going," I muttered to myself.
So after that it was finally time to get going! I felt really frustrated when I would find the trail going right but not left. When we had arrived at the final control I was feeling very excited, and even better, we had done it in less than an hour. What an exhausting way to finish!
I like your piece of writing it is really cool! I remember when I did orienteering at camp it was so fun!
