Dear Mr Green,

Thank you so much for taking time off work to come down and make this camp possible for us Rimu team. Without you we couldn’t have enough transport or parent help. Also the meals that you helped cook were very good and filling, they were so much better than the food that the parents cooked for us last year.

I appreciated when you did archery and shooting without you we couldn’t have done that activity. For the tramp you were so much fun because you let us do what we wanted to do not like the other parents where they did not let us even run on the tramp.

On the skit night you were so helpful to Riley, Regon, Eden and I when you came and helped with our skit because all of our team just got up and did something else. Also the parents skit was really funny when all the parents gave Mr P all of the things that they had. You were one of my favourite with the lice.

When we were cleaning up and I said to myself “Why are we sweeping the dust when it’s just going to come back?” and you said “Why do we wash our clothes when they are just going to become dirty again.” You shamed me out. I didn’t even mean for anyone to hear that but of all people you do.

I think that Morgan and her Mum appreciated you and us for getting out of the car and sprinting to remove the debris from the car so that they were able to move.

Yours sincerely,

Nicholas Jones

Thank You!

Dear Tony Borell & Beth Gordon,

Thank you so much for taking time off of work to come down and make this camp possible for us Rimu team. Without you we couldn’t have enough parent help. Also the meals that you helped cook were very good and filling, they were so much better than the food that the parents cooked for us last year.

I appreciated when you did the centipede without you we couldn’t have done that activity. It was so nice for you two too cheer me on when I was doing the centipede. On my 1st go I got 40 seconds, then my 2nd I got 42. Then you guys cheered me on so much that on my 3rd one I got a staggering 25 seconds. I also did that for my friend to have another go at the centipede and he got all the way to the top.

I bet that Riley who also shaved time off really appreciated the encouragement that you guys gave him. It really helped everyone to get to the top even for those who are completely terrified of height’s.

Yours sincerely,

Nicholas Jones

Dear Mrs Cooper,

Thank you for taking your time off work to help us with our Amazing Race. I know that looking after 6 kids is really hard especially when they are crazy and excited, but you pulled through and did it.

I liked it when you did not give up looking for that E in Orienteering at Redwoods and you ran your heart out running with us kids. It was so kind of you to buy candy for us just to be nice and calm us down a little. It was so funny when we got lost in the maze but came out and beat Riley’s team and came second.

An activity that I really enjoyed was the diving because I had never done it before in my life and it was hard trying not to pop my ears but I did and it hurt! It was difficult when we had to find 3 boats out of all those boats at the marina because there were like 200 of them parked.

Dear Ocean 2 Earth,

Thank you for letting us use your facilities to do our Amazing Race and making a experience that I will not forget. It must have been hard to get the oxygen tanks onto our back and getting the oxygen to be on so that were able to breathe.

It was funny when at the start I wasn’t able to breathe out of it but then I told you and then I was able to, but for Rose my friend it was different because she wasn’t able to breathe out of it and didn’t tell you and she went through the entire thing without being able to breathe.

After we left your facilities we went to a Fish and Chip shop and we fried our fish that we filleted and got some chips for our lunch and got to eat it. Then we went to the Elms and we had to answer questions there. We finished 3rd and the 2 days before that we came last (30th) and 2nd. We also went to the giants Kiwi Fruit in Te Puke. After that we had to go to Redwoods and do an Orienteering course and it was really hard because some of the things we had to find was hidden by leaves and by other things.

Yours Sincerely,

Nicholas Jones
