My experience at the camp was life-changing. Not only did I run with the best, but was treated with kindness, respect and above all a sense of fun. For these lads, their experience will last a lifetime. Learning about Kenyan running while opening them up to better understanding different cultures and values. Nice!
The more these people keep coming here, the more I grow prouder of my country. Keep up the vibe guys. Imagine a group of ambitious teenagers flying all the way from Auckland just to come and experience Kenya.
As a Kenyan this was lovely to see those kiwi boys over here and they seemed to enjoy their stay. To be the best you train with the best.. hope to see some of our high school rugby players have some training camps in nz high schools if possible.
It's not just about their athletics career. I feel that the experience will transform them completely as human beings. They'll be more disciplined and will never take anything for granted. They have more than they need to succeed in life.
This is so awesome... seeing our kenyan heros appreciated like this. Thanks to the boys in putting some heart into this... you can see how valuable the exprience is to them. Kudos to the coach in working with the team... you can see the input. Wise words too...
Loved watching that, and perhaps especially so as and ex Westlake pupil myself. What a great bunch of young men, and get idea to connect with Jake Robertson for his experience.
They were an absolute credit to the school and to New Zealand, impeccably behaved throughout. Jake was also very gracious and kind with his time and energy to inspire the boys.
Lived a few hundred meters from Westlake Boys and Girls high school when I still worked in North Shore Hospital. These boys are well mannered, I have personally run just behind them or run across them, they’re very fast too. Wishing all the best to them.
Well done, Ryan. I completed the challenge in '21, so I know how you feel. Nine weeks from now, I'm running a fasted 5x5 challenge: five marathons in five days while fasting. Next year, I'm running a fasted double Goggins: 4x4x96 while fasting.
@@nottoldAfrostories This attitude of welcoming anyone and everyone is how we were easily colonized 🙄 The next we'll be seeing is you offering them free land and men/women to marry. Many of us Kenyans have absolutely no sense of boundaries and no sense of self preservation!
There's a WestLake boy in this video donning the Kenya jersey...probably the best jersey designs ever ( the lions are always designed on Kenya rugby and some football shirts)🎉
Yes, we are very much open to female runners of all ages. This video showcases a boys high school in New Zealand who organised a trip for their cross country team. 🙂
@@PriscillahMwangi Iten is a wonderful place so there is nothing wrong with people wanting to go there. But we absolutely agree that there are many more great African venues out there and we hope to be able to explore more of them soon! ☺
A very strange attitude which seemingly not many Kenyan's share. We are always welcomed with open arms by the local population. There are numerous benefits to Kenya to welcoming in visitors not the least of which is creating highly skilled employment for great Kenyan people like Willy, our Head of Guest Relations at Kenya Experience. All the best,
I am sorry but you are a backward thinker. But I guess you have never made it out of your village with that mentality...everyone is welcome to come to Kenya and stay for as long as they want.....this is an amazing country and people like you tarnish our name...
These kids are so well behaved, positive, and mindful. Well done, NZ. From Eldoret, 🇰🇪
Absolutely right!
and demure
Kids like this are very rare in this generation,pure and well behaved traits you don't see quite often nowadays..

Thanks Jack, We've got very happy memories from your camp with us earlier this year and Willy says 'hi age mate'
Karibu tena Kenya ❤❤❤
It’s the humility of the kids , this trip will change their lives forever.😊
Absolutely 😊
Kabisa
These are well-behaved young boys. I wish them all the best.
Yes, they were wonderful ambassadors for New Zealand 😊
That is why NZ is always on my bucket list, well disciplined students who are very resilient and with an amazing sportsmanship.
The more these people keep coming here, the more I grow prouder of my country. Keep up the vibe guys. Imagine a group of ambitious teenagers flying all the way from Auckland just to come and experience Kenya.
Absolutely. Your beautiful country and wonderful people have so much to offer 🤗

Kenya rugby is doing well.
@@blessingmasawi3616 I hope you're not referring to 7s boss. 15s is what is largely considered 'rugby.'
😍😍 take me back! What an opportunity for those lads 😯

They are great kids led by an excellent coach, and Kenya was a wonderful host to them
@@RunningTrips couldn't agree more
I visited Emanuel (when on the Kenyan Experience) and his family. What a gentleman and welcoming family as well as a great runner.
Thanks Martin, we had a great camp with you last year! Emmanuel is very much a key member of the Kenya Experience team!
What an aawesome experience they'll cherish that forever.
Thank you 😀
Well done Kenya for representing Africa and sharing your expertise with the world. Love from Nigeria 🎊💐🇳🇬❤️🎉
Such disciplined boys. Bravo Westlake
The boys are well behaved like the Kenyan school boys.It was nice having you boys
@@EmmanuelBundotich thanks Emmanuel 🙏 thanks for welcoming us to your home and for all your brilliant work on the camp 👊

Such a heart warming video. What a great opportunity for the young lads to experience Kenya. Well done to the team!
Thank you, it's our pleasure to be able to show runners from around the world the beauty of Kenya.
When the boys were at the school, greeted, walking through all the Kenyan kids and getting celebrated. Beautiful and heartfelt moments
Thanks for your kind words 🙌
Thank you for sharing this with the world! Very beautiful to see. You gained a follower from Namibia 😀 and a fellow road runner too!
Fantastic. Great to have you here and thank you for the kind words.
Best thing is, by the looks of things, the guys were well behaved! Awesome! 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
Such young boys with a promising future .All the best man , from the host country ❤.
So great to see how grateful the young Kenyan kids are. Thank you for making this video 🙏
Thanks for the support David, really appreciate the comment🙌 Yes they are great - it's eye opening and inspiring in equal measure!
Great video the Kenyans are so nice. And a great bunch of kiwi boys look like they will go far in life.
@@andrewstraker7985 absolutely, the local runners in Iten are all very welcoming! And yes, a brilliant group of boys from Westlake 🙌
It's a very awesome experience for a high school boy!!!!!
Thank you Coach🙌🙌❤❤
Thanks 😃
Dude I just love the attitude on these kids. Someone educated them well, thanks NZ
Welcome to Kenya. My homeland ❤
Asanti 😍
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, welcome back next year!
One day I would love to visit new Zealand. Heard wondeful stories about that island.... But it is soo expensive. But one day....
Well done everyone and thanks for sharing!
Thanks 😃
New Zealand has well behaved kids. I now want to visit. Love from Kenya 😇🇰🇪
My eyes are filled with tears of emotion. Well done Charlie 😉

Oh Africa❤, the start of all civilizations. Only right to go there for training and wisdom.
Very well said 🙂
Civilization did not begin in Africa. It began with the industrial revolution
@@rof8200It began in Mesopotamia and it definitely didn’t begin that late into history. 1760? 😂 Really?
Leo got the most memorable birthday..he sure will remember that one for a long time!!🎉🎉
Best camp for the Best 👏😎👍
Thank you 😍
New Zealand have produced top class middle distance and long distance runners in the past. John Walker comes to mind.
Absolutely, maybe one of these boys will be next! 😊
Amazing experience indeed they had,karibu tena Kenya tunaeapenda❤

Welcome to Kenya
The Home of Champions!
I hope a training camp for girls is also in the works

You guys should make time and visit Teryet High Altitude Training Center in Kapchorwa, Uganda. Your minds will be blown away.
And yet they all go to Iten 😂
We would love to visit! 😃

I don’t know why I was so emotional throughout this video. 😅
In a good way we hope?? Didn't mean to upset you 🤣
mature kids, responsible parents that sent them, great coach, and community that welcomed them. Special things in life are not always tangible.
These are future world beaters
Following in the footsteps of the Robertsons
Great video
Thank you sir 😃
Wow , such experience 😢
Thanks 😃
At 6:03 Theuns’ South African accent came out. It wasn’t there when he spoke at the beginning of the video
😀 You can't mistake where Theuns is originally from, very sweet sounding accent
Amazing 🎉
Thanks 😄
Pengen banget sekolah di tempat impian semoga tercapai amin 🙏🏻
Adventure 😊
Oh yeah!
❤
is that kipchoge's water bottle guy?
Haha, alas no. I can (kind of) see the resemblance though
My country
A beautiful place 😊
11:17 black and their shoes 👉...👈
Good
Thanks
yeah, it HAD to happen. you just dont come to kenya as a new zealander and not do a haka....we here love it
@@SGOA32178 😂😂 it's a great tradition and our team loved seeing it first hand!
😂😂😂the school part is hilarious
Newzealanders vs Australian's at school cross country and in Australia there is no opportunities like that
We've had an Australian school (Churchie) with us in Kenya before! More Australian schools are very much welcome! 👍
That is the least scary haka ive ever seen
Given that they were doing it to honour and say thank you to new friends, maybe that's a good thing 🤷
Why don't they train in their own country... what's wrong with Kenyan's 😢 NKT!!!!!!!
