Dear future campers,

Camp Bentzon is wild yet probably the best camp ever although, as a fellow year 6 camper, I have some tips for you to have an even better camp experience! 

1. Abseiling is probably the activity that everybody find’s at least a little bit difficult so when you are about to go, take as much time as you need to prepare! Slowly feed the rope thing when you go down and remember, it isn’t a race or anything so take as much time as you need! Also, make sure you listen to the instructor so you can wear your harness on properly. Otherwise, you could fall and hurt yourself!

2. Another tip is for sailing! Sailing is tricky and scary but I personally feel like going in a pair is better because you feel more safe and it’s easier to control the tiller and the sail. Make sure you don’t panic, you might tip if you do. Also, remember that it’s actually good if your sail moves a lot, it may seem like it’ll tip but it’s actually what’s supposed to be happening.

3. Make sure to pack a big water bottle for the long hike on the first day! Trust me- you’ll need it!! The hike is so exhausting and tiring so you better pack one! Also, wear shorts and a short sleeve t-shirt and pack a lightweight jacket in your day bag just in case!

4. Another tip is that when you are on the ferry, hold on to your hat because it could fall into the water. Make sure you don’t have anything in your hands or else you could drop it because two of the boys from camp dropped their water bottles on the way back!

5. This isn’t a must but I advise you to bring more t-shirts and pants then what it says you should bring, (not too much though maybe like 1 or 2 more than what it says), because your outfit’s could get wet.

With these Top 5 tips you will have a great camp with no worries and make sure to get seconds for dessert because it’s super yummy :P
