Awakeri School

Room 12 and 13 camp at Tui Ridge May 2011

On day one at camp it rained!!! Here is the parents team in the amazing race trying to ski. 1, 2, 3 right... fall off! Here's a group in the driest part of the amazing race, trying to do the puzzle. They took a while to listen to Jordan for some good advice.
What happens when its raining and you spend time in the dorms? The girls put together a fashion show!! We had a tech challenge in the evening. The parents built a brilliant tower. Sadly, it slowly collapsed while they were all being measured. Why was everyone cheering??!!
On days 2 and 3, the groups did lots of activities. Here's Maiya trying to shoot a balloon or a bullseye. Regan was our abseiling instructor. Centreece looks happy going over the edge!
Jenna is relaxed on the log. Kayleigh is having fun on the single wire.
Ms Sisam and Mrs Parker came to have a look at the high ropes. The steam is rising! Tiaan was brave coming down the abseiling high wall. His dad went too.
A happy looking group of mountain bikers have stopped to see how the high ropes are going. This is Georgia R-K touching the trapeze on the leap of faith. "I touched it! I touched it!" she screamed because she was so happy!
Monique is one of several people who are leaving Awakeri School soon after camp, to go to new areas. She and Justin are off to Balclutha! Here's Jaydon doing the possum roll off the log. This is upside down planking!
Sammy was being belayed by her dad!! Can you tell? Hmmm, upside down is the only way to go Sammy! Last night of camp and the groups are doing their skits. Lauren is her group's presenter.
Alex's group get into their work. Then it was movie time. And after the movie and popcorn, everyone went off to bed in the dormitories.... and Hayley slept on!!
The last day. This is the jungle gym in the confidence course that caused all the trouble. Paige and Johannes fell off it in their groups' turns and ended up in hospital! Here the winning team are racing the parents.

The parents got to this wall first and the finish line, but they didn't know they had to be fully across the finish line, so, on a technicality, the kids won by 3 seconds!
Camp was over. Time to go home!
