Camp 2013 was a super fun, super busy 3 days. We all ended up being more tired than we have in a long time! It included all the activities seen in this compilation of photos and videos as well as lots of others including the epic glow stick Diamond Heist night game, a Burma trail, splits and mouthfuls of marshmallow competitions, early morning runs and swims, the big Quizmatiz and many more!
Our focus of learning was on being risk takers, team players, and leaders. We were also gaining knowledge and forming opinions on species protection and hydro power.
Some photos of our awesome disguised dinner. You guys looked so awesome! I was stumped on who so many of you were.
We visited the Karapiro dam and were looking into how it works, it's advantages and disadvantages as well as it's environmental impact.
We also visited the Maungatautari Reserve and learnt about the threats to native species and what is being done to try and save our valuable endangered species. We were also lucky enough to see three Takahe of which there are only 225 left in the world.
I had fun at camp,I really enjoyed the boating and falling off the biscut. I also enjoyed the flying kiwi and how we were running one second and 10 meters flying in the air the next. Lilly
ReplyDeleteIt was really challenging on the high ropes, walking across a rope 8 metres off the ground was extremely scary. I was proud of myself when I did it. Breanna
ReplyDeleteNice going on the zombe costume Graham, I reckon it looks realy creepy, especially at night when you were scaring people, Dan.
ReplyDeleteThe man at the dam said the flood gates have'nt opened for a while and then on the next day we came back from extreme edge and they were open. Everyone was shocked. Paige
