SCHOOL CAMP!
A week without a phone or internet! Yes team, it can be done! I went as a parent help for with my son’s class (11 & 12 year old boys and girls) held at Makahika Outdoor Pursuits Centre which is about 2 hours north of windy Wellington by bus at the foot of the remote Tararua Mountain Range.
First day in we went on a short walk to a (permanent) campsite where the kid’s made huts and fires (in the rain!) and stayed in the permanent tents overnight. The second day was back to base camp via an (over waist deep) river crossing! high ropes course and flying fox in the afternoon which very much wore everyone out. A night in the cabin was much appreciated.
Many insect bites later, couple of vomiting kids and the normal camp tired we arrived safely back home. Good times!
