Year 7 Camp - Narrows Park

Pinehurst Year 7 students, along with staff and parents had a successful week down at Narrows Park in Hamilton. Fortunately for all involved, the poor weather didn’t eventuate and after some shuffling of the water sport activities all students were able to try their hand at a wide range of experiences.

There was kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, caving, swimming, water slides, shooting, paint balling, survival skills, and team building activities. Yes camp is all about having fun, stepping out of your comfort zone and making friendships, but it’s also about managing self, which is an integral part of Pinehurst's leadership programme. Students have to make their own beds and keep their own bunk area and cabin tidy and clean. Clothing has to be sorted and dishes washed... the students do it themselves, or it doesn’t get done. Staff and parents are very proud of the way the Year 7 students stepped up to all their challenges.
