Winter Olympics 2013


This year Winter Olympics was held over one week from the 12th of August, to the 16th.

Totara Springs Christian Camp was the venue that held the sports camp. Totara Springs Camp is near Matamata on 288 Taihoa road. At Totara Springs they have rugby, soccer, hockey, touch, and softball fields, along with a kayaking stream, gym, swimming pool, and cage soccer unit. 

Winter Olympics '13Overall there were 24 sports, many were physical and many were not. The overall time was reduced in a game and how many was on the field (depending on the sport).

Melville came first in 8 sports and followed it up with 8 Silvers, which was a great achievement for the kids. Melville made 14 semi’s overall, they may not have come first in all but they put in a huge effort.  Melville also come first in other sports that did not need semi’s and final’s.

Even though I got injured just before Sports camp I really enjoyed coming and watching the squad do their best and try and win. I did compete; I competed in darts and petonque which Bunnerath and I came second, I felt pretty proud of myself for still being able to come second. 


All the kids had a great time at sports camp and most of them are looking forward to next year but for all the year 8’s who are leaving we’d all like to say thank you for helping make this a great experience.
