Camp Wainoni
Kia ora and welcome to camp Wainoni.
Over the last two weeks we created an amazing adventure camp ground taking advantage of our school holiday programme.
Our kaiako Paulette is a Scout leader and has been talking to the tamariki about Scouts and camping, and with such interest from the tamariki, she bought in a big scout tent.
The tamariki gathered round and watched with such enthusiasm as Paulette and her ‘helper husband’ Stuart put the tent up in our playground.
Through the children’s curiosity, camp Wainoni turned into an adventurous new environment with opportunities to develop and build on social skills, communication, negotiating and turn taking through a variety of activities such as bean bag throwing in to the tripods, car racing down the pipes and sand baking with the pots and pans.
At the end of a hard day, we took time out to toast some marshmallows over a candle!
We look forward to heading back to Camp Wainoni soon!
