Ruma Waru learned about camp fire safety; ways to build safe camp fires, how to safely light a camp fire and how to safely extinguish a camp fire. We were allowed a maximum of four matches per group and the challenge was to light the campfire using only one match... congratulations to Emma and Lucy who did this for their group. We also had to work in groups to develop and cook our meal on the camp fire. As you can see we did a great job!

| Sometimes sitting seemed like a better option than walking. |

| Three swing bridges had to be traversed. |
 |
| Checking the loading for each swing bridge meant waiting patiently. |
