Yesterday we did navigational skills and initiative games. After that the girls and boys set off in separate groups into the bush for our first evening campout of our 2009 Mt Binga experience.
On the way out to campout the students were blindfolded, driven out by a couple of troopies and dumped in the middle of nowhere. We then had to sleep out there and hike back. Lucky it was only 3 kilometres.
Today after we arrived back at home base, we had an introductory class to the horses. We learnt a number of valuable things, including how to handle horses and how to communicate with them. The last activity was an orienteering competition where we had to find markers placed all around the Mt Binga campus. The competition was very challenging but we had a lot of fun.
