The Year 9 Camp is coming up in Week 7 of Term 3
The camp builds on the Survival unit studied in APP classes during either Semester 1 or Semester 2. Students will engage in a variety of adventure-based, team-building activities themed around survival challenges. These include navigation, camp skills, fire making, search and rescue, raft building, team challenges, cooking on fires, and shelter construction.
Students will camp in tents for the duration of the program. All meals will be provided, with students assisting in preparation and cooking using campfires and camp ovens. Hot showers and toilets will be available throughout the camp. Students will choose a group of 2-5 students that they would like to be with for camp. These students can be from any connect class.
The camp will run by QCCC Expeditions at Cobb and Co 9 Mile Camping Grounds.
When: Wednesday 27 August to Friday 29 August 2025.
Cost: $442
If you would like to request a payment plan, please email accountsreceivable@thegapshs.eq.edu.au.
