We all had a great time at Camp and we are in agreement that it is the
best camp we have had yet. It is a great atmosphere and the surrounding
areas are magnificent. We did various bush walks and ended up swimming
in the Makaroroa River. The facility itself is really well organized and
the activities there such as the bungy jump, confidence course and the
cricket set were great. Everyone wants to come back again, so we will
probably plan another camp for next year. Thank you for letting us use
such a great facility.

A most enjoyable weekend. Lovely facilities, excellent catering and we
all had a memorable time. Look forward to returning in the near future.

We have had a fantastic week with only a small amount of rain. We all
made it up to Sunrise Hut. What an Achievement! We had some very proud
children. Great facilities and a good time had by all.
Over three hundred people enjoyed camping at Camp Wakarara, in groups
over the months of October and November.
Highlights were the camp facilities, being able to accommodate 100 people
at a time, in tents and dormitories. We enjoyed cooking on the open fire
BBQs, both in fine weather - and during inclement weather - because of
the wonderful set up under shelter. Cooking our own meals over open fire
and on hobo stoves provided was a first for most.
We thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of the Confidence and Commando Courses,
as well as your compass activities, on-site geo cache, horizontal bungy
and pitching all of the tents you provide.
Great activities close by were a thrill for all - Onga Onga and Waipawa
Museums, staying the night at Triplex Hut, traversing the swamp, bush,
stream and river studies and the highlight of it all - reaching Sunrise
Hut in the snow.
Thanks for everything you provide Camp Wakarara - it is very reasonably
priced Outdoor Education at it's best. We've already booked again for
next year! We'll be back.
