The 2005 camp was a challenging, but great experience. We
had one, maybe two activities each day which included an
overnight tramp to the Roaring Meg Hut. All the activities were
based around Wanaka which made it easy to get around.
For half a day we travelled on the lake to Mou Waho on the
Dual Image. We also had a stimulating day when we rock
climbed and abseiled at Riverside, expertly assisted by Mr
Hammond and some lovely instructors.
Kayaking was a cold, but exhilarating day where some of us
were able to kayak down the Hawea or Clutha river and, once
again, we had some great instructors to help us.
The tramp we participated in was long and tough. It was the
perfect time to get to know some more people, or get to know
some others better. We also had to sleep in tents and make our
own food that night – not to everyone’s enjoyment, I might add!
Year nine camp was very enjoyable and nicely relaxed.
Friendships grew, and the teachers got to know us a little better.
Thank you so much to all the people who helped us out, and
put up with us all showing off. I hope all the future year nines
have as much fun as we did at the end of last year!
