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 />
