Days 92 - 95: Glendowie PE Camp

I have just spent the last four days working for Adventure Specialties Trust on a school camp.  We had three PE classes from Glendowie College staying at the Moto Moana Scout Camp to do abseiling, challenge course and flying fox, sea kayaking and tramping with an overnight in a cave.  I was in charge of the challenge course and the flying fox, and did two sessions per day on it.  I also got to set up the abseil anchors on the abseil tower two of the three days, which is good practice for me and a chance to learn some new techniques.

At night we played games with the kids (there were about 70 of them) like "stealth" where you have to sneak through the woods to find a light hanging from a tree without being spotted by the guards hiding in the bush.  Good fun.  We also had a campfire and I taught the kids the "There are no bananas in the sky" song from camp. 

I don't have any photos of the kids on the challenge course, although that would have been fun to see.  The challenge course is just a bunch of obstacles for them to get themselves through, and as an extra challenge I made one person from each group be blindfolded on each obstacle.  They also had to carry a Moa egg (volleyball) through the course without letting it touch the ground.  Once they finished the course we played on the flying fox (zipline).  It was a fun, but tiring, week.

Here's a photo of the abseil tower.
