Year 8 Camp 2018

Boho adventures

The 2018 Year 8 Camp program will run during Term 1. This camp forms part of the core camps the school runs at Years 7 and 8. The focus of the Year 8 Camp is bonding with the core Connect group, developing independence and strengthening resilience. Students attend the camp with their Connect group and tutor.  Most Year 8s identify this camp as one of the highlights of the year. Two groups will be at the camp at the same time; however, activities are conducted separately. Permission forms will be distributed in the first full week of school.

The camp will run for 4 days at Camp Boho South which is operated by Northcote High School and is the former Boho South State School. NHS has operated this camp since the late 1970s. The activities on this camp include: an overnight hike, horse riding, swimming, bowling and canoeing.

Due to the dry conditions in rural Victoria and the risk of fire these camps may be rescheduled if necessary. Decisions regarding fire danger will be made the day before the camp departs when fire weather warnings are issued. Camps may also return early if conditions change.
