Year 9 Camp ‘The Adventure’ 2018

The Adventure camp to The Grampians was an experience that the Year 9 students found their most challenging and rewarding part of The Voyage program. It was a fantastic opportunity for the students to experience challenges in a supportive environment, try new things, experience some incredible views, build on their friendships and possibly develop new ones throughout the week. The boys and girls camps both focused on the overarching theme of ‘Challenges- how they form our identity’. They explored what makes them the person they are and how  they contribute to the wider community. This was experienced through physical, emotional and social challenges that the students were faced with throughout The Adventure.  

The staff on both camps were amazed with the students' endurance, resilience and willingness to give all aspects of the camp their best shot. I am sure the students will come away from this camp with a sense of personal achievement and an understanding that trying new things outside of their comfort zone will stretch them and lead to personal growth, a life lesson that we can all hold on to and need to be constantly reminded of.

A special thanks go to the Endeavour staff who supported The Adventure camp so well, along with the staff of Tandara Lutheran Camp who supported everything we implemented throughout the week.
