Day 4<br />
Maori Cultural Experiences<br />
After breakfast the students will catch a water<br />
taxi to Waitangi and they will spend the day at<br />
the historic “Treaty Grounds <strong>of</strong> Waitangi”.<br />
Students will learn about Maori culture, history and embrace<br />
their traditions. A hangi, where meat and vegetables are cooked<br />
on hot rocks, will be their culinary delight for the day. Another<br />
treat lays in store as students experience the wonders <strong>of</strong> local<br />
craft making. This is followed by taking a water taxi to the<br />
Horse Trek’n Paihia site for an adventurous two hour horse<br />
trek, where they will get the opportunity to experience more<br />
<strong>of</strong> their natural surroundings on horseback. Once the trek is<br />
finished they will catch a water taxi back to The Landing.<br />
Once again, students are called upon in the kitchen to help<br />
with dinner preparation. After dinner, preparations start for<br />
an exciting camping trip the following day. Day packs, tents<br />
and gear that are needed will all be prepared. There will be no<br />
facilities, all water, food and supplies will need to be carried<br />
on their backs to survive a night in the wilderness as a group.<br />
There will be rules, maps and instructions issued. Students<br />
need to decide on what food to take, how it will be cooked<br />
and plan down to the last detail exactly what they will need<br />
in order to eat the meal.<br />
