Dear Mr Ford,
                  
Thank you for giving up a week of travelling with your family to come to camp so you could help Nikau learn more about the environment. It was cool when we saw you again. Thank you SO MUCH for making the sentence game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I enjoyed the walk to Lou’s Lookout because we got the chance to see a very little amount of glowworms, while the great view on the Lou’s Lookout platform was very high and misty. The only downside was the big holes on the side’s. It FREAKED me out!!!(Kind of)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something else fun was the caving because some were very challenging, like bat poo alley where we had to shimmy across the very TINY gap, and it was HARD! In the end I could not do it (don’t Judge me). Hey, at least I tried.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last exciting bit was the sentenced hunt because it was fun looking for an white arrow with a word on it. I forgot what it said but just to make it clear, it was yours that you made and it was about Michael Noonan. It was awesome when we went through the bushes and I tripped over a twig. (WOW) Thank you for making this awesome challenge and I’m sure we all enjoyed it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fun fact: The Maori who shot Michael Noonan were well hidden and camouflaged, allowing them to shoot poor Michael, not knowing he made it. He is said to be wandering around Camp Kaitawa headless, while brushing campers on their shoulders, looking for the Captain. If he thinks he has found the Captain he will place a note next to that person and leave camp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again thank you for coming to camp so you could help us do Fun activities and hikes.

Yours sincerely,

Jaedyon Coombs
