Ruma Kokako had an awesome overnight camp last week in our local environment. They built and slept in bivouacs with all the bugs and possums for company. We walked most of the way to the tallest native tree in NZ. However, we unfortunately came across a wasp nest and the wasps were not very happy and stung our group 38 times. The students were amazing though and so supportive of each other. The next morning the students explored the depths of Karamu caves and the heights of cliffs while abseiling and rock climbing. It was so good to see the children face their fears and grow in courage. Ask them about their experiences as there were some significant moments for all of them.
Courage is not the absence of fear. It is inspiring others to move beyond it (Nelson Mandela).
You inspired us guys!
so...... FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
