This year's summer camp at Turangi was a great success, to go by the numbers attending — 110 people spent the days between December 28 and January 6 exploring the Tongariro National Park, the Kaimanawa Ranges, Pureora Forest and other interesting sports in the region. Planned by the Wellington branch, the camp provided a blend of outdoor activities by day and stimulating entertainment in the evening by way of films or guest speakers. Phil Rider, chairman of the Wellington branch, points out that, while Turangi Park Ranger Lee Busby and Forest Service head Dave Wilson might have been somewhat overwhelmed by the thought of adding up to 80 people to their day trips, they responded well to the challenge. Let’s hope that this coming summer the scheduled camps will be as well attended.
