Off to camp we go....

It was school holidays so why not go off to camp?



Sophie, Joshua and Hayden were in
 green troop and with their other troop
 members had fun terrorising the cattle!

  

So that’s exactly what a small group of Wirlinga members did from Saturday 14 April through to Monday 16 April at the Lake Albert PC camp.

Sophie and Josh O’Connor, Marieke Hoelsher, Sharna Carkeek, Hayden Forrester and Hayley King had a great time trying and learning new things. The first two days were dedicated to instruction and it included some different aspects of horse riding.
For Hayley King, the highlight of the activities on offer was the chance to do vaulting and she is now pestering her mum to organise some more opportunities.
For Sharna and Josh, it was the cattle work involved in team penning that they particularly enjoyed but there was plenty of variety for everyone, including showjumping, cross-country , stockman’s challenge, dressage and games.

On the final day they all participated in a gymkhana which put into practice many of the skills they had perfected over the previous days.

Sadly, then it was time to pack up camp and return home for a rest!
