Our local area is a wonderland waiting to be explored.
Wild, rugged, beautiful!
A tapestry of new adventures just waiting to be experienced within the rich landscapes of native bush, limestone caves, and flowing streams.
Today was a special day and we were excited!
Today was the day we'd get to venture beyond the kindergarten gates,
beyond our regular Base Camp excursion.
Today we were going caving!
Under the quiet presence of glow-worm twinkle, a sense of awe and curiosity abound in the hearts and minds of tamariki out adventuring on their first
caving experience.
"The glow worms were very cool. I wanted to touch them but there is special stuff on the cave and I heard them say 'Don't touch'. It was very beautiful" said Scout.
"The glow worms were dropping water on my head. They were bright up on the roof"
said Sofia.
"I was feeling a little bit scared. I stayed near the group so I didn't get lost in the dark cave" said Scout.
"It was dark, I not scared" said Bowie.
Today we were explorers, risk takers, and adventurers!
Jungle Story
Just off the track leading to the caves held an adventure all on it's own, with tree roots gripping the earth, rocks to scramble over, around and through, birds calling overhead and sunlight gently filtering through the tree top canopy.
These spaces promised excitement and challenge, and we'd need to be
bold and daring explorers.
Today was epic!
A big thank you the the team out at Waipu Caves Farm Park. The opportunity to experience nature in a relaxed, playful and unhurried way was so good and we can't wait to visit again!
