Sledding in snow, visiting the National War Museum, jet boat ride at Huka Falls, thermal hot pools at Tokaanu, and indoor rock wall climbing, for almost all children these activities were for the very first time. For many, their first time away from home, and for a lot, their first time travelling past Auckland.
The reality for these group of 21 Maori children from the top of the North Island is that they may never experience the snow in their childhood and, for many, maybe even well into their adult life. The activities experienced on this Year 6 ski camp trip created lifelong memories the children will never forget.
