Year 9 Camp: Roses Gap

Reflection

For our Year 9 Step Up camp, we headed off to Roses Gap Recreational Centre in the Grampians. It was a four hour drive there which included a lunch break before we got there, but let me tell you it was worth the drive! As we unloaded our luggage and all bunched up, we were introduced to the manager of the camp, Drew and all his staff. They told us all the basic rules, tips and guidelines then we were sent off to our cabins to get settled in.

From then on, it was an adventure full of activities such as the giant swing, the pamper pole, raft building, abseiling, canoeing, and the walk up to Beehive Falls. For activities after dinner, we had the night walk, Crowdyaz Trivia and initiative games. We also had a disco on Thursday night which involved options of dancing, playing board games, watching a photo slideshow or chilling on the sidelines having a friendly chat.

The meals we had were very nice and filled the spot left from all the energy we were using during the day. Everyone had a good time and enjoyed their stay at the camp.

Many students tested themselves, stepped out of their comfort zone and overcame fears to try something new. It great to be challenged and see what we really were capable of. Thanks to the year 10 helpers and PRSC staff who came along with us!
