Camp Taupo

We travelled down to Camp Taupo for the day yesterday to spend time with our Year Five and Six students. They were participating in a range of activities; the lake clean up, Kayaking, Swimming at the AC baths, Adventure World and Puzzle World. I joined the group who were given the responsibility of cleaning up 4 Mile Bay.

What a magic afternoon of wandering the shores of Lake Taupo in search of rubbish while at the same time skimming stones, wading in the shallows, cheering on school children who were participating in their triathlon, discussing the volcanic history of the area and understanding the science of pumice.

Returning to camp there were a range of activities the children spent their time doing. A favourite was the thermal pool. Although it was relatively small we managed to fit quite a few children into it. There was also some serious games of football and cricket going on. 

Dinner was delicious lasagne, made lovingly by parents and sent along to camp, so all we had to do was re-heat it. I have to share the dessert that came next! Deliciousness x Ten!!

Camp is such a great fun!
