They say a picture is worth a thousand words







Deep Cove is a place of amazing natural beauty which can be pretty hard to describe in words, but......

Check out the photos in this post and either:


  •  in 20 words or less describe the pictures (the more descriptive the better)
OR if you are feeling really creative

  •  write a short poem using the photos as inspiration.  Best poem will win a prize from the Deep Cove shop :)

Waterfalls #2 - Stella

Not a bad place to hang out for lunch after walking the Old Doubtful track.  Check out the view!

Waterfalls #1.... Helena

Helena Falls - up close on a 'quiet' day.  When there has been a lot of rain there's no way to get this close!  Looking forward to seeing some photos and video of this from this years crew.

What Are YOU Looking Forward To........??????

Everyone is looking forward to something - the massive amount of fish that you're going to catch, spying a kiwi on the night walk, conquering the tramps, seeing the dolphins on the cruise, cleaning toilets.....okay, maybe not cleaning toilets :)  I'd really love to hear what you are looking forward to the most on Deep Cove camp this year.  Post your comments below....(make sure you proof-read/edit your comments)

Welcome to YOUR camp blog

Welcome to the Year 8 blog for the Junior Campus camps for 2012.  We're only days away from Mrs Shanks and Rm 10 making their way on the first trip into Deep Cove.  I know that everyone, teachers, parents and especially students are amping to get in there!  This blog has been set up for you to share your experiences, with your friends, family and anyone else that may be interested in Deep Cove.  If you have older brothers/sisters or even parents that went on Deep Cove, let them know about this blog as they are more than welcome to share their experiences as well.  Over the next week, I'll be giving some background on the development of Deep Cove and the Education Trust that runs the hostel and uploading some experiences from past JHC Deep Cove camps.  Remember that this is YOUR blog and I want to hear from you!

Bring it on!
