On Monday 30 May 9K, 9E and 9N have the opportunity to attend the 5 day camp at Rotoiti Lodge in the Nelson Lakes National Park.

The camps are carried out in a stimulating and safe outdoor environment. Students develop positive social interactions, challenge themselves both mentally and physically, and learn through being outside their comfort zone. The camps enable staff and students to work together away from the classroom setting.

The cost for each student for the camp is $300. This covers accommodation, food, transport, outdoor qualified instructors and use of specialist gear and equipment. There is an additional charge of up to $10 if gear needs to be hired from the Lodge (to be paid after camp).

Students also have the opportunity to participate in an off-site commercially operated activity of white-water rafting on the Buller River. The cost of this is an additional $120 which represents great value. Please contact the Waimea College Finance Office if you are interested in setting up an automatic payment to help spread the cost.

A letter with more details, including gear list and medical form, has been handed out to these classes. If students were away, please print these off from the website or ask for a copy from the student office. It is important for these forms to be returned to the Finance Office and payment made by 13 May 2022.
