Wow Monday was
here! The Year 5’s
were ready to go on
the best camp ever! It
was a week full of
hiking to Ngamoko
and smelly smoky
fires. It was all so
exhausting. It was an
adventurous,
spectacular camp.
Monday
After a long journey we
finally got to Camp
Kaitawa. We unpacked
our bags and got ready
for a walk to the lake. We
walked to the lake . It was
Wow! The lake was
amazing. After that we
went for a walk up the
pipeline. Boy that was
tiring! After that we went
to bed at 9:00.
Tuesday
After a long sleep we woke,
got changed and had
breakfast. Then we got our
back packs packed with a
raincoat, warm hat, 2 drink
bottles and some lunch. We all
had warm clothes on ready for
our walk ahead. When we got
there we waited until everyone
was there. Finally we started
our 7 hour walk. We got to the
steep part. There were
wonderful views. Finally we got
to camp and went to sleep at
9:00.
Wednesday
On Wednesday we woke up,
had breakfast and got changed.
Then some of us some of us
went in the mini bus and the
others stayed behind and wrote
Prayers. After that we got ready
to walk to Lake Waikareiti.
Finally we got to Waikareiti. We
started walking and got to a
1000 year old tree. It was
humungous. We stopped and
had a look at this tree. It was
the biggest tree I had ever
seen!! After that we walked
back and did the loop track.
Then we went to camp and
again went to bed at 9:00.
Thursday
On Thursday we went caving. It was
so much fun!! We were slip, sliding and
having fun in the mud. We went
through 8 dark mysterious caves,
which we had to crawl on our hands
and knees. After that we drove to the
Redoubt, had lunch, played a game of
rugby and formed a human pyramid. It
didn’t work at first but then we got the
men to go on the bottom and
Samantha on the top. After that we
went back to camp, got ingredients
ready for the cookout and went to this
piece of grass and started our cookout.
We got to eat our own Nachos that we
made. After that we played paper
scissors rock, it was so much fun.
Then we went to bed.
Friday
On Friday we packed and
cleaned our dorms. Then
we walked over to this
piece of grass where we
played three games, one
game of stuck in the mud
and two games of
seaweed. Then we
stopped at Wairoa where
we had lunch. After that
we went back to Napier,
the feeling of almost
being home!! We were
home. That was the best
camp ever!!!
