Year 10 Camp 2013

3 Man Slingshot

 During Term 4, last year I was selected to go to Year 10 camp at the Christian Youth Camps near Ngaruawahia (http://www.cyc.org.nz/).

I was a group leader for activities were I could support and encourage the Year 13 leaders to step up into their role and also help motivate the Year 10 students.  It was a fantastic opportunity to work with students in a different setting and be able to build a relationship with them outside of school.

The activities ranged from mudslides, paintball, obstacle courses, rock climbing and biscuiting.  We also had a 3 man slingshot competition, a quiz, scavenger hunt, skits and went to the Waingaro Hot Pools on evening.

The range of activities provided opportunities for each student to shine, overcome fears and reach their full potential.



For me personally, it was a fantastic opportunity to gain skills about how to run an effective camp for skilled professionals.  I was also able to get to now some of the staff better.  I was also encouraged to step out of my own comfort zone which is always rewarding.
