Grade Three - Mill Valley Ranch Camp!

The grade 3s set off on their first overnight camp at Mill Valley Ranch. They had a fantastic time doing lots of fun activities such as horse riding, crate climb, low ropes, archery, and a scavenger hunt. Students showed incredible teamwork and courage during camp, stepping out of their comfort zones and pushing themselves to the limits.

Grade Four - Summit Camp

Grade four students had the fantastic opportunity to attend an exciting adventure camp a few weeks ago. They enjoyed an incredible time discovering new skills, challenging themselves beyond their usual comfort levels, and scaling impressive heights.

Amidst the array of exciting activities at camp, students found moments to contemplate their own experiences and consider how these newfound skills could be valuable in their everyday lives. They also dedicated time to reflecting on the experiences of their peers, gaining insights into how people operate in various conditions and learning the importance of trust and teamwork.
