Zip, Rifle


The Best Activities at Camp

As you probably all have heard, I went to a sleep away camp. This camp was called Hayo-Went -Ha. There were many outdoor activities such as zip lining and shooting rifles. Today I’m going to tell you about both.
The zip line took place on the climbing tower. There was one zip line that you jumped off and then you rode down and went back up. As you lost speed you went up and down more often. On my first turn I held on to the rope. That resulted in a rope burn. On my second turn I let go and it was so fun. Every time someone went down the tower shook. The zip line was not scary. I think that was the best experience of my time there.
In addition to the zip line campers could also shoot rifles. I shot at targets three different days. The targets were about 30 feet away. The first time I shot poorly I only hit the target once and the second time was for instruction period. I shot great.  I hit six out of ten. The third time I only missed two shots! The rifle was about a foot and a half long. We also loaded the rifles ourselves. These were the two best activities at camp.
