We are on the road! Yesterday was a fabulous day based at camp. Lots of teamwork and challenge, and plenty of fun. A great team effort this morning getting packed up, cleaned and away by 9:30. We are stopping in Oamaru for 90 mins to lunch, play and check out the steampunk museum. Will send out an email later this afternoon to confirm our arrival time. Should be back between 5 and 5:30.

We have been privileged to have a superb bunch of camp parents - couldn't have wished for better. They have cooked, cleaned, run activities, supported the kids, and all with big smiles. 

 The sun shone as we headed off to Otago Peninsula for an awesome day of learning and adventure. Albatrosses were seen by all; the lucky ones saw multiple flying overhead. Lots of new experiences enjoyed and memories made. 

After a good night's sleep, we are ready for an action-packed day at camp. 

 Morena everyone! We had an action-packed on camp yesterday and the troops slept well again last night. Today we are off to Otago Peninsula to visit Larnach Castle, cruise on the Monarch and check out the albatross colony. Then it is either off to the pool and Hair Raiser Tour or back to camp for a campfire. 

 Kia ora Whānau!

We had an awesome first day at camp. Lots of fun was had at the steampunk playground, Moeraki boulders and climbing Baldwin St. 

Best news was that everyone settled pretty well last night and had a great sleep. 

One more sleep - make it a good one! Here are the final reminders for tomorrow, Monday... 

Arrive at school at 8am

• Take your luggage to the buses on Eastern Tce. It doesn't matter which bus your gear goes in.

• Medication in a labeled zip-lock bag, to be given to your home-group teacher
• Go to your home-group meeting space with your daypack
• You need your lunch for the first day

Those who are in teams to play against Carisbrook School, make sure you bring sports uniforms if you have these at home. Pack this in with your luggage.
