Room 16 Arthur's Pass Camp
On Monday 25th May Room 16 went to Arthur’s Pass Outdoor Education Centre. We travelled by train there and back. The train trip took about 2 hours. Once we finally got to Arthur’s Pass we met Hamish and Briony, our camp leaders. After we had lunch the class went on the Devils Punchbowl / River Crossing, the water was really cold! At night Hamish took us to see the glowworms, after we played spotlight. The next day we walked the Bealey Spur day walk it took six hours. At the end everyone was tired so Hamish took half the class to a forest track for a blind trail. A blind trail is when you get blindfolded and set off on a track holding on to a rope. Then we got taken up to the old school to make a stretcher out of jackets and poles. In the morning we tidied up the lodge and did orienteering and then had lunch outside the chapel and met up with Room 15, then finished with going to the DOC information centre. We then went down to a bank and did a rock sculpture competition. After we left on the rain for the long trip home.
