Year 4/5/6 Camp - Normanville

We will be partnering with Wilderness Escape to deliver an exciting camp, rich in experiences for our Fisher Year 4/5/6 cohort. The camp to Normanville will provide opportunities for our students to develop confidence, organisation and resilience and continue to build onto the school’s Values and Keys to Success. They will also have the chance to build understanding of the connections between sustainability and recreation.

 

The Normanville camp is a 3 day/2 night camp. During the program, students will participate in the following activities: beach sports, water ecology, jetty fishing, snorkelling and raft building to promote teamwork, respect and collaboration skills. The program will culminate with a mega team style beach carnival challenge on the final day.
