Cave Hill Creek Camp

Wednesday 18th - Friday 20th July

Wednesday 18th - Friday 20th July

Year Four students attend camp for three days and two nights. This year the Year Four students are going to Cave Hill Creek. Cave Hill Creek is a spectacular bush venue, surrounded by the mountains of the Mt. Cole State Forest. Cave Hill Creek is only 45 mins drive from Sovereign Hill and we will combine our camp at Cave Hill Creek with an Australian history excursion to Sovereign Hill.

 

During their time at camp, students will visit many spectacular exhibitions such as gold pouring, venturing underground on a gold mine tour and witnessing tradesmen such as, candle makers and confectioners apply their trades. Activities at Cave Hill Creek focus on developing a child's love for the outdoors through challenging and fun experiences. Camp programs include cultural and indigenous awareness, the environment and sustainability.  Camp is an important place for students to build life skills, relationships, (both with their peers and teachers), independence and resilience.

 

If your child does not feel comfortable staying away from home, please consider a few extended sleepovers at a relative or friend’s house well before end of Term Two.

 

Detailed information regarding Year Four Camp will be issued to parents in Term Two. We also hold meetings with all of  the Year Four students leading up to the camp to talk about our time away and to answer the students’ questions.
