Cultus Lake Field Trip

CULTUS LAKE!!!

Yesterday at Preteen Extreme camp we went to Cultus Lake Waterslides to have some fun! It was definitely one of the trips that I will never forget.

At 9:30am mom drove me to Guilford Recreation Centre to meet up with the rest of the camp members. After everyone was there, we headed on our private bus. It took about 1 and half hour to get to the Cultus Lake Waterslides. When we got there and saw all of the awesome slides, everyone was really excited. I was a little scared but at the same time wanted to ride on the slides.

We hopped off the bus and our leaders started talking about the rules like to not shove and to be back on time……. After their 5 minute talk(which seems like a 5 hour talk to me) was over, me and my friends Sarah and Maggie ran straight to the most famous waterslide in the Cultus Lake Waterslides-THE VALLEY OF FEARS!!! The alley of fears was basically a GIGANTIC ramp. You ride on a tube (it can be a 1, 2, or 3 people tube) and slide down the ramp. You keep shifting back and forth back and forth until you finally stop at the bottom. We were very lucky because there were not much people there on that day and it was not too hot so we got to go after a really short amount of time. Here we go to die! I thought when we were about to go. At the moment you go down the huge ramp it feels like that you just jumped down from Taipei 101!!! I went there for 2 times. The valley of fears was a super scary and fun experience I will definitely go next time!

After the valley of fears, we went to the colossal canyon. It was huge waterslide and you can have 5 people in a tube at once so it is a good choice for families (I saw lots of babies going to that one). It is not as scary as the valley of fears but it was also really fun, especially at the end when you go down and you splash into the water. I went on this one for 6 times since it was so enjoyable and there were not that much people.

At last, I went to the radical rapids. There are single or double tubes. It is a cool and unique waterslide. First, there was this small hill, then you get stuck in this small part of the slide when you have to grab on to the ropes beside you(me and my friend couldn’t grab on to the rope and got stuck for a long time and the lifeguard had to come rescue us>_
