Year 7 Camp: A Memorable Adventure

Year  students at camp

The Year 7 camp was an exciting and transformative experience for over 150 students, supported by a dedicated team of teachers. Set in the beautiful region of Murrumbateman, the camp provided the ideal backdrop for adventure, bonding, and personal growth. The journey began with a lively bus trip over the mountain, filled with chatter and excitement. Upon arrival, students quickly settled into their accommodations, eager to begin the planned activities and make the most of their time away. On Wednesday, students participated in two group rotations, where they embraced new challenges and enjoyed games like giant Jenga, basketball, and handball during free time. The fun fostered camaraderie and helped friendships form quickly. The day wrapped up with a cozy movie night and popcorn, though many students stayed up late, leading to sleepy faces on Day 2.

Day 2 was packed with four engaging rotations, including water warrior games, initiative tasks, and the Puzzle Mania scavenger hunt. Team-building exercises like Mission Survivor and frisbee golf kept everyone energized. Sessions on grit and resilience taught valuable life lessons. After a busy day, many students took time to rest during the afternoon free period, allowing for a more restful second night.

On the final day, students participated in one last rotation of activities, followed by a quick meal and a reflection session to discuss their camp experience. The journey back was filled with chatter about the memories made and friendships formed. Upon arrival at school, students were greeted by the warm embrace of their families, marking the end of a memorable experience that will be cherished as part of their transition to high school. Overall, the Year 7 camp was a resounding success. It provided a unique opportunity for students to forge lasting friendships, develop valuable life skills, and create unforgettable memories. With laughter, teamwork, and adventure, the camp set an exciting tone for the year ahead.
