The document summarizes experiences that students had during activities at Ngatuhoa 2009 Room 12, including: 1) Flying down the flying fox and feeling the wind and sun, then running back up the hill to go again. 2) Doing the bivouc which was cramped inside with damp leaf litter on the floor. 3) Racing through an obstacle course trying to find clues, planting feet and feeling like an earthquake. 4) Gripping a disgusting dirty rope that turned hands different colors while abseiling down a nerve-wracking cliff.
