The Costa Coastal Camp

A group of GAP and OE VCAL students went on a camp to Barwon Heads and tried their luck at surfing and fishing. Surfing was successful with most being able to stand up. Fishing, on the other hand, was tricky with Tyson McPoyle being the only successful fisherperson catching two Australian Salmon.

 

We also learnt about marine and coastal environments around the local coastal areas and at the Queenscliff Marine Discovery Centre and Barwon Heads Heritage Centre. As a large group, we walked from Point Lonsdale to Queenscliff along the coast and if you were lucky enough you may have seen a pod of dolphins that were feeding. 

 

A night time rock pool ramble allowed us to discover a range of crabs and fish. To finish the week, we canoed against the wind and completed conservation work to help regenerate the sand dunes. In my opinion, surfing was the best part of this camp.

 

We are very grateful for the grant money from the Anthony Costa Foundation contributed to help this camp to run.
