Papatoetoe Intermediate School cancelled its annual camp due to low family affordability. Only 160 out of 750 students could afford the increased cost, which rose from $240 to over $350. Rising inflation and transport costs contributed to the price hike. The cancellation is concerning as camp offers a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience for many students, particularly those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
