Rūma [redacted] and Rūma [redacted] Year

Re: Rūma [redacted] and Rūma [redacted] Camp 24 - 27 October 2023
Dear whānau of Rūma [redacted] and Rūma [redacted] tamariki,
We are excited to announce a combined camp for Rūma [redacted] and Rūma [redacted] to
Waipara Adventure Centre in North Canterbury for 3 nights/4 days. Waipara is 10 minutes north
of Amberley. All students will travel by bus van or parent vehicles leaving at 7.15am on Tuesday
24th October and returning on Friday 27th October. The purpose of the camp is to build
relationships between tamariki to sustain and support their learning throughout this year and into
the next.
Waipara Adventure Centre includes instructor-led activities such as kayaking, ropes course, river
walking and archery. There are also a range of other activities eg. basketball, frisbee golf,
scavenger hunt, swimming, trampoline, playground, slippery slide and a flying fox (see attached
map). Students will stay in bunk style accommodation in the designated lodgings. The camp
includes breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Unfortunately we only have space for eight adult
helpers. If we have more than eight volunteers we will draw names out of a hat to see who can
come.
The cost of the camp has increased due to the significant increases in the cost of living. The cost
per student is $311. We understand this is a considerable cost so there are a number of different
payment options available below.
As well as student contributions, we will be fundraising in order to keep costs down. To make our
fundraising efforts a success we will need your help and support. If you have any ideas for
fundraising please contact [redacted].
