Camp Food

Camp Food
The food on camp was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. Many of us wrote about our food as being a highlight of the day.
Adele was our camp cook, and with the help of parents she was able to create marvels in the camp kitchen.


Dessert was always a real treat. Time and effort went into crafting something truly special!!!!


The kitchen queen whipped up home made donuts with pink icing, and pikelets with jam and cream. Nothing was a bother and everything was delicious.
We can not thank Adele enough for her amazing efforts in the kitchen!!!

YUMMO!!!!!!!!!

Hydro-Sliding Moana Pool - Last Day

Unfortunately Friday came around way too quickly for some of us. After a MASSIVE camp clean up in the morning, it was time to pack all of our gear into vehicles and head towards home. We had one final stop on our way, which was to Moana Pool in Dunedin for an hour and a half of swimming and hydrosliding. And what fun we all had. Check out the action!


To end with..... a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the parents who helped out on camp. It would be impossible to provide the students with a camp experience if it wasn't for you - thank you for the transport assistance, supervision of students, washing of dishes, preparing and serving of meals, disposing of rubbish, washing and drying of tea-towels, fire stoking, helping with camp concert items ..... EVERYTHING.
From all of us in Room 4 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Around Camp


Just hanging out around camp......


Chores, chores, chores

Camp booklets time


Checking out the kina, paua and fish caught by Glenn and Jason




Finn and Seamus were the only brave ones to try some of the kina (not sure that it was a favourite for either of them though!)

Fear Factor - evening Day 4

As a finale to the Camp Concert, Adele (our amazing camp cook) had prepared a Fear Factor challenge for the groups. Each activity group had to nominate two members to be blindfolded and complete a smell challenge, one to be blindfolded and have a touch challenge, and three group members to perform an eating challenge.




The first task involved students wearing gloves as the smell challenge ended up being 'cat food'. One participant had to be stopped from tasting this challenge!

The other smell challenge was to identify cooked cauliflower.





The first taste challenge was to be the first finished eating a small helping of popping candy.
The other taste challenges involved eating lollies stuck in jelly (with hands tied behind backs) and eating hot chillies (green beans cut up) then downing a glass of milk.


The touch challenge involved finding a chocolate in a bowl of noodles coated in watery cornflour. What the contestants didn't know was that the chocolate was taped onto the outside of the bowl. It was hilarious watching them rummaging through their bowls of noodles and getting frustrated when they couldn't find the chocolate.





What a fun way to end the last evening of camp!
