Camp

==**Camp Cooking 2011** == This year Room 41 and Room 42 will be split into Boys and GIrls Groups. These groups will be your cooking groups. There will also be a girls sleep out on the first night and a boys sleep out on the second night.

1. Find out if any one in your group has food allergies or dietary requirements. 2. Plan a 3 Course meal that can be cooked using a gas hob, pot and pan. Be as creative as possible. 3. Use an online supermarket to work out the approximate cost of your ingredients. Divide the ingredients among the group, take into consideration that each person should spend between $5-$10 (no more). 4. Put your recipe into your wiki, including images & each members items they are responsible for. 4. Cook your meal at camp. Remember that you will be marked on creativity, taste, presentation and difficultly of meal prepared.

Sleep out Bivouac
Girls will be sleeping out on Monday night, Boys will be sleeping out on Tuesday night.

At camp you will be provided with 2 tarps, strong rope and some stakes. What do you know about building a Bivouac, what do you need to know? what other equipment might you need? Ask at least 5 questions e.g. how do I make my Bivouac more comfortable? Research Answers to your questions. Add to wiki. Get together with your sleeping group and develop a plan/strategy for making your Bivouac. Include your plan in your wiki.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Appearance

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Adult caddisfly is a water moth. An adult caddisfly looks just like a moth, but the wings are smoother and sometime a bit see-through. Most caddis flies are about two centimeters long, but some are only halve that.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">The Caddisfly larva look like a grub, which is a short, fat, creamy white, worm-like creature, but will a dark head. They are mostly hidden by their protective casing. Their casings are mostly made out of small rocks, tiny twigs and little bits of leaves.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Caddisfly pupa look much like the adult, just with underdeveloped wings. Sometimes they are a bright green colour.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Facts

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Caddisflies scientific name in Trichoptera, which means "hairy wings." They are closely related to butterflies and moths.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Caddisfly larva are aquatic, but adults stay in the air and on the ground, they only go back to the water to lay their eggs.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Caddisflies have an important role to keep a balance of the freshwater sources, as fish feed on them. Caddisflies also help keep the water clean by feeding on fallen leaves and other things.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">This bug has many names, such as Caddis, Caddisfly, Sedge, Shadfly, Periwinkle, Hellgrammite.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Habitat

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">The most common place for a caddisfly to live in is a shallow, cool and well-oxygenated lake, but they can also be found in steams and rivers. Most caddisflies build their shelters from hollow stems of grass, others build from bits of rock and pieces of bark.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Life cycle

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">The caddisflies are one of the last aquatic bugs to start hatching and are the first to disappear in the fall. They normally mate on the shore and then the female goes over to the surface dropping bright green eggs. The eggs sink and after hatch into larva. When the larva are born, they build their casing which is a cone shape and start to grow. The larva will end up built their casing about five times before sealing it and pupate (become a pupa). The pupa breaks the casing and swims to the surface and hatches into an adult. When it has reached the surface it changes into an adult and flies away fast. This cycle repeats itself once or twice a year.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Movement

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Larva crawls slowly along the bottom of the water carrying their portable casings. After they pupates, the pupa will crawl out of its case and will either swim immediately to the surface or spend time on the bottom. At the surface the pupa will wait for a couple of minutes, while the adult breaks open the pupal shell to hatch, then it will dries it's wings before it get ready to take flight.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Diet

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">The caddisfly mostly feeds on algae, small bits of plants. Some species build nets so they can catch drifting food.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Caddisflies larva are able to spin silk to make nets to capture food floating in the water and built protectives shelters.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">This bug has many names, such as Caddis, Caddisfly, Sedge, Hellgrammite.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Defense

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Some caddisflies protect themselves from predators by building a portable case. The cases a usually made out of pebbles, sand and bits of plants.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Environment issues

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Caddisflies have to live in clean fresh water, the environment issue in there habitat is the run off from all the farms near by.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Camp Reflection 2011

<span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Day One

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">In the morning on monday we all lined up by the cricket net with our luggage, Mr scoles put us in a car and then we were off to camp.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">When we first got to the camp we got settled in our bunk room, the girls didn’t unpack our sleeping bag because we had to sleep out in the bush that night. After, we got ready to go on the tramp (room 41 was first tramping, while room 42 were on the activities.)

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">On the tramp, we walked for 10 minutes each time and then had a rest and got a drink, I was glad when we stopped because most of the walk was up hill. After walking for 1 hour we stopped for lunch. Mr scoles took us across the stream and off the track through the bush to the river with rocks to sit on ,for lunch. Eating lunch took about 30 minutes and then we went back to walking. We walked for little more and then headed back. <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">When we got back, we got harnessed up and did the abseiling, rock climbing and high ropes. When lining up for the abseiling a was a little scared, but when a had done it I wanted to go again.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">That night we went into the bush. First we took all the materials and rope we needed to build our bivouac. Mr Hart demonstrated how to make them and then we tried, we got to have Mr Harts. Afterwards we went back to camp for our cooking ingredients. We made mince and rice, we cooked it a portable gas cooker. The rice was nice, but the mince was a bit dry and flavorless. Then we rinsed our plates and pans in the river and went back to camp until it got dark.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">We came back out with all our stuff for the night and sat around the camp fire roasting marshmallows until about 11, then got ready for bed. In the night it was freezing!. I woke about 5 times and was cold.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Day Two

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">In the morning we took our bivouac apart and went back to the fire. Everyone was talking about hearing a wild pig going past their tent. When everyone were done packing up, we headed back to camp to have breakfast. We had breakfast and got ready, we then got into three groups and started the stream <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">study. Our group at first did the bug study, we had to find stream insects and identify them. Then we had to test the temperature of the water, after that, see fast the water is flowing. I didn’t go all the way in because the water was freezing!

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">When we were finished we went back for lunch and we did a photography activity where you had a list of things you made to take a photo of. We got into groups of 3 and went your the camp and on the loop track of the tramp. When we made finished that activity we had to sketch a picture of an object with charcoal. I tried to draw a flax plant, but it didn’t turn out that good.Then the boys went out to build there bivouacs. We stayed back and cooked our own meals. My cooking group cooked hot dogs with hash browns and a salad for the main and spring rolls for starters and ice cream with lollies. After the meal I was so full I couldn’t move.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Day Three

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">On wednesday it was the start of the activities, first we did raft making, at first our team was coming first but we got stuck on a rock and they caught to us. At the end we were so close to winning but it ended up being a tie. I hurt a lot when trying to get over the rocks.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">For our next activity we did mounting biking. I didn’t do the time trial. In the afternoon we played paintball. When walking there the hill was really steep and is was really hot in our gear. The first game I was protecting the flag, so I didn’t do much but of our last game I was supposed to go into the middle, but somebody came up and started to shoot me. I surrendered but then went back in the game. Later I got attacked again and then I got hit in my goggles and had to surrender. We only got to play two games and went back for dinner at camp.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">While we were eating dinner it started to rain lightly, then five minutes later it poured down, so instead of playing spotlight we decided to have a quiz night. There were four categories they were sport, entertainment, general and New Zealand. My group came first in the first two quizzes, but came last for the last two. We won a moro and crunchy bar each.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Day Four

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">On the fourth day of camp it was another activity day. We did the Centipede, Vertical play pen, Kayaking, Beam and the Archery. The kayaking was my favourite activity for that day was the kayaking. At first we did the time trial and we rafted up and had to walk across all the kayaks without going on our knees or fallen in. I managed to get across but I fell down I few times but made it. In archery I got a bulls eye and two tens.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Later that night we had a concert night and each group had to perform a sketch, song or dance. Our group didn’t do that well and got booed off the stage. during the concert a load of crickets kept on landing on us and there seemed to be millions on the ground. Everyone was screaming and afraid of them and when we were getting ready to go to sleep they flue into our bunk room and scared everyone.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Day five

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">In the morning the entire ground was covered with cricket either dead or alive. That morning we had to pack all of things away and clean the camp and put everything away.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Once we were all packed up and ready to we had one last activity to do it was the clash of the camp, where the two classes raced against each other in relay. There 16 activities to do and there were two rounds. I was doing to toilet paper mummy activity were you had to rap yourself in toilet paper. In the end our class came first.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">After it was time to go back to school. We had to wait for all the parents to come, but my transport didn’t come in time so we had to go back with Mr Hart. I didn't really wont to go, but I wanting to get home and have a nice, warm, long shower.
