In Week 5 the Year 5 and 6 students from Waikowhai Primary travelled to Mount Ruapehu for our ski camp. We were away from school from early Tuesday morning until late Friday evening and we had a fantastic time.
Our first day was mostly travel. This involved stops at Hamilton Gardens for a scavenger hunt, tin Otorohanga to investigate the Sir Edmund Hillary walkway, Taumarunui school for a stretch of our legs and afternoon tea, then we got to our accomodation. It was freezing and after a delicious dinner we went for an evening walk.
Wednesday and Thursday were our days on the mountain. The first day was full of challenges and extremely hot but we got there. The second day we put our skills to use and improved heaps.
Friday was our trip back, we left early for a hot soak in Taupo, then a quick stop to view the powerful Huka falls before travelling back to Auckland via another Hamilton Garden stop.
To find out what we thought about our trip check out our individual blogs. We have posted a camp booklet each that shares our reflections and the things that happened. There are some of these in the post.
We would to hear what you think about our camp experience too, maybe you could share some of the things that you have been on.
