VCAL Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Camp
This week the VCAL students completed their five and six-day Bronze and Silver Adventurous Journey component of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in the Northern Strathbogie Ranges. Students travelled to Benalla by train, pitched tents and completed challenging activities; including team building exercises, long exploration hikes, bike riding, rock climbing, abseiling, canoeing, a flying fox activity, an obstacle course and raft building. Students organised the campsite which included carrying their backpacks, setting and packing up the tents and preparing group meals and cooking them on trangia stoves or on an open fire, as well as all the cleaning up duties.
