My Middle School Retreat Experience

About one week ago I went on something called the middle school retreat! It is an experience that all middle school students do for 3 days to get to know each other.

This year the theme was rebuilding community. I learnt all about that and how it is very important to have strong relationships with your community.

On day one we went to a park to have breakfast and we had lots of fun. Not only did we eat breakfast we also did some activities on building a strong community. One of the activities we did was was introverts and extroverts trying to get along and it was very funny. Not only did I learn the introverts and extroverts don’t get a long too well, I also learned a lot of how the other person thinks and how I should always think twice and really teaches me to always see the other side.

In the afternoon we went to OCR park. it was very fun but extremely tiering. I still had a lot of fun!

On day two we had to be at school by 6:30 AM!!!! That was CRAZY!!! It was still very fun because we went on a bus to get to the Ontario river. We went… WHITE WATER RAFTING!!! It was so fun! My tour guides name was Jordan and he was very nice. We had a lot of fun that day.

On day three we did a bunch of activities involving rebuilding community. it was very educational!

I really enjoyed the middle school retreat this year because I got to spend a bunch of time with my friends.

My favourite part about the whole thing was the OCR gyp park, we all had a lot of fun!

I am super excited for next year… I CAN’T WAIT!!!
