Monday- we arrived at camp and walked around Shakespear
Park. Had hamburgers for tea, played spotlight and a few of
the campers slept.
Tuesday- Boot camp for non-sleepers…Archery, mountain
boarding, climbing wall and UHF radios. Spag Bog for
dinner followed by skits and torch disco. Yeah, we all had
some sleep!
Wednesday- clean up camp, Tiritiri Matangi Island, walk,
lunch, walk, hot chips, bus trip, singing and trip home.
