Year 8 Camp 

Owen Ding, Year 8, Plenty Campus 

Year 8 Camp was an unforgettable experience full of adventure, challenges, and fun. Over the course of a few days, we took part in a wide range of activities including a 15km hike, stand-up paddle boarding, archery, mountain biking, and sailing. We also worked in teams to design and build our own rafts, testing them on the water, which was fun and chaotic at times. That really strengthened our teamwork skills and boosted our collaboration. One of the activities that really stood out was the solo discovery activity, where we spent time alone in nature to reflect and recharge. The hike was definitely one of the most challenging aspects, especially with our heavy packs, but it was rewarding to reach the end and look back on what we had accomplished from walking the distance. Whether it was pushing ourselves physically, trying something out of our comfort zone, or simply enjoying time outdoors with friends, camp was an experience that improved us in many different areas. It helped us build confidence, strengthen friendships, and make memories we will always remember.
