It's great for kids to get away. Where our kids went to school they went to camp for a week in the 4th grade. When we go camping in Yosemite there are usually school groups in the campground.
Hi Ann! I LOVE camping too. And yes it can be uncomfortable. But children will remember the fun times, the things they learned at camp, and the short-lived independence, and their longing for home! Camping builds character and that is something valuable in this high-tech generation!
The kids didn't fly. They wore a harness and were hoisted up 8 metres. Then the team members slowly released the rope to let them come down I presume slowly.
It looks like they must have had a great time! I'll have to look up some photos of your Kiwi bird!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend!
