We also went to Mt Hutt Ski field We did Abseiling, Air rifles, Archery, Challenge course, Frisbee golf, Skiing and Top Team. Mt Hutt Retreat has 12 rooms. 6 for the boys and 6 for the girls. There was also a Kitchen, Playground, Basketball court, a Hill to run down, a Dining room, 3 Bathrooms, a Hall, a Stage, a Forest and a place in the back with a Washing line and Air rifles. Now, to the recount.



Tuesday 23rd of July.

We just arrived to Mt Hutt Retreat and we got out of the car we sat on the deck. We went in afterwards and had afternoon tea.

Then we went into the bush for our first activity. We did a challenge course. First we had to get through a tyre without touching it. People had to lift us and get us through it. Then we had to go to some posts and walk on them. There was someone walking and two people helping them balance. Then we went to a big wooden wall. People had to climb up it. There were people at the top to help us up. There were also people at the bottom to help lift you to the top of it.

Then we had to do some sort of tightrope, which had things to hold on to when doing it. At the end there was one snipped off before the last one. I didn’t fall off it.

Then there was a double tightrope with nothing to hold on to. We put one foot on each rope to go to the other side. Next we did the same thing but two people doing it. We had to pass each other on one rope with nothing to hold on to. That was all of the first activity. Then we went back inside.

  1. Hi, Will It's Hannah from Awahono School. I like the sound of your trip to Mt Hutt Retreat. I think that next time you could explain what going abseiling means and you could fix the writing on the page because all of the writing is off the page. Did you have lots of fun there and why?

  2. Actually, I don't know why it is and I don't know how to fix it. And abseiling is like leaning back on the edge of the cliff with a harness on and kind of walking backwards down the cliff until you get to the bottom then walk back up to the top. Thanks, Will
