Students embraced the opportunity to work together to meet a series of challenges that included a low ropes course, rock climbing, canoeing, vertical challenges, archery and the dreaded giant swing. The most exciting, and possibly scary part of the camp included holding Monty, the six-foot carpet python. Students participated in a quiz on the first night which included friendly rivalry and some fierce competition.
Across many of the activities, it became clear that our students were going to get the most out of the experience with everybody giving the challenges a go. Above all it was excellent to see everyone offering words of encouragement to their peers, many pats on the back and high fives. Our second day finished off with a night walk and a movie night.
Students boarded buses for the long drive home, perhaps a little weary but hopefully proud of all they had accomplished over the 3 days in Wellington.
