Year 7 Camp

Camp Review

Year 7 camp was definitely a highlight of all the things I’ve done at Wantirna College so far. It was a great opportunity to get to know other students from other classes and strengthen those friendships we already had. Personally, my favourite activity was the candle-making, because it was really satisfying, when you got to cut through all the layers at the end. I also enjoyed the teamwork games, which challenged your group to communicate together. The main point of Year 7 camp was to challenge yourself, and maybe do something you might not have done originally. For example, my challenge was to get in the pool- it was freezing! But in the end I got in and had lots of fun. The camp itself was beautiful, filled with old trees, and the staff there were all lovely. I also got to meet people I might not have gotten to know otherwise, including the teachers. When I got home I was so tired, but it was definitely worth it! All in all, the camp was a great experience, and I can’t wait for the next one!

The Year 7 camp was an unforgettable experience. The activities were challenging and made your group work together. Our class has bonded more and now we work well with each other. Some of the activities included flying fox, the reptile house, low ropes course, team bonding and the pool. The reptile house was amazing especially when we got to hold the snake. It was scary at first then you got used to it. The low ropes course was pretty good too. You just had to trust your spotters then you were fine. Unfortunately, for my class when we went in the pool it was 12 degrees so we didn’t stay in for very long but for the time we did go in we had a blast. Another good activity was the crate climbing. You have to stack crates one on top of another and balance at the same time. It was really hard but somehow I managed to get ten which was the best in my group. The highest out of everyone was 20.

The food was really good too. The highlight dishes for me were the dinners, especially the chicken schnitzels. I was really luck with my cabin group, because I got to meet lots of new people who I’m now really good friends with. Overall my time at Oasis Camp was amazing!
