Camp 2011 - Day Four
1 Dec 2011 - 6:34pm

We had another action packed day today.  The children were keen to meet their instructors again and take on more challenges around the camp.

Today they took part in; raft building, abseiling, the water slide and confidence course.

They spent a lot of the day in their togs and showering off layers of mud before their next activity.

"Today was a very exciting day.  It was tiring.  Killer Hill sure is a killer hill! Jonnie, Sally and Barry joined us for the big journey."

Year 5 and 6 Camp - Day One!
28 Nov 2011 - 3:18pm

We all arrived safely at Camp Adair after a quick trip down to Hunua. 

After we unpacked the horse float (used to transport all of the gear), the children went to find their cabin.  They are very excited about these and can't wait to sleep the night in them.  They have already chosen their bunks, laid out their sleeping bag, pillow and clothes.

After lunch today, they went orienteering.  This certainly used up a fair bit of energy as they raced around the grounds finding clues to word puzzles.
