Coopers Beach Camp Te Whare Tui

My favorite part was the obstacle course aka confidence course. I was so scared of the wood wall. Once I got to the tyre climb I felt like a boss!!! I was probably at the top in 16 seconds. Then came the jumping squares and the wood walk. I really felt like I was going to fall on to the hard solid ground. It was great. the slide was scary. At first I was SUPER scared, my brain nearly blew KABOOM!!! It was fun but I thought I was going to DIE!!! I was so scared on my first go I hit the bean bag, it was nice and soft like a pillow.
