Winter peak 2013 (15th-21st
July) was memorable experience for me and the group of six boys. Winter Peak is
a adventure week based out of Blue Mountain Adventure Centre on the edge of Mt
Ruapehu. Getting to do things extreme from our world in Auckland was exciting and
at the same time terrifying. It was awesome to see the boys step up to the
plate and give all the activities 100% even though they were so nervous about
sleeping in the snow caves we built on the mountain. Each of the activities
pushed the boys differently for some the white water rafting or trying to fit
through a small gap in underground caving others the mountain biking or
high ropes. Winter peak has a
price to it but we know the investment that the experinece has. We have seen
the experience be a strong stake in the sand for many of the young people we
have taken in the past. This years groups were very tight and its been great to
see how they have continued to support each other since returning from the
trip. I am very proud of the boys that came and hope that the experience is
something that they will never forget and always challenge their approach to
life.
