Camp at Teapot Valley


We went, we conquered, we came back - and many of us probably still miss what was an absolutely fantastic experience in sunny Nelson. I was nervous beforehand, but the week turned out to be one of the best of my teaching career. The students were wonderful: brave, charming, mad, open, experimental, successful, friendly and hungry! Here are the first of many photos.

 I guess it all began with the food. Glorious food. Monday: burgers. Delicious burgers!
 Remember these guys? That was the line to be in. 
 Don't tell Health and Safety! This might have been a little way off the track, but it was fun. And beautiful too. The Able Tasman walk was a highlight of the trip.
 Not a bad place to have afternoon tea, eh?

 It was like being on Miami Vice! That cruise back to camp via Kaiteriteri was sensational. And there were seals.
 What's she pointing at? Just horror, fear, and screaming!
 Discipline was tough at camp. Time on The Stump was hard.
 We had to work together, for better or for worse!
 We had to rid the world of deadly toxic waste. Hold onto the rope!
The team at Teapot Vally were magnificent and helped make it all possible. Cheers!
