Room 12/13 Waipara Camp

Kent McDonald —

What a fantastic camp!! Thank you to our wonderful parents, staff and tamariki who made the camp so successful.

I liked camp because I could just chill out and be myself - Oscar

I liked to experience all the activities because they are all different and unique - Dylan

I like camp because everybody gets an opportunity to do something they haven't had a chance to experience before. It's a great chance to have a holiday away from your family! - Jasmine

I like camp because all of the activities aren't everyday experiences - Samuel

I really enjoyed camp. Personally, my favourite activity was Stairway to Heaven because it was a challenge! - Victoria

I liked the water slide because I thought it was going to be very fast but it was actually slower than I thought, which meant I enjoyed it more and I nearly slipped off the slide! - Jackson

Camp is the place for me because it gives me time off from my younger siblings! In the scavenger hunt I learnt that it didn't only show us places, it also bonded us as a team. - Kaea

I really love camp because I got try two new things - Kayaking and Stairway to Heaven. - Starzy

Camp is a good place for many people because they are not all cooped up inside on their games! - Charlise

I liked Sky Sailing because it made me conquer my fear of heights - Ollie

My favourite thing was kayaking because I was scared but I got braver as I went and it wasn’t scary anymore, it was fun - Chelsea

I liked Kayaking because I had never done it before and it was really fun with all of the games that we did - Andrew

I liked the Stairway to heaven because you could climb as high as you wanted and the tutors were really supportive - Lily-Belle

I was really upset because I didn't get to do kayaking but I was glad that I could team building because we got to play all sorts of games and we had to work together - Tayla H

For my first ever time I went up for Sky Sailing because I had never done it before. I didn't want to do it, but I made myself go first in my group and then found out it was actually fun! - Blake

I really liked the River Walk because it was good exercise and we got to skim stones! - Ollie B

The water slide was fun but the thing I didn't like about it was at the end I rolled over and got a massive bruise. But sometimes that's what happens when you come to camp! - Cheyenne

On the Stairway to Heaven I conquered 10% of my fear of heights, I still have a fear but I pushed myself and gave it a go! - Matthew
