On the 28 February, Year 7 had the opportunity to travel to The Tops Conference Centre at Stanwell Tops for three days. We were all so excited on the bus trip and couldn’t wait to get there. As we exited the bus we entered the main hall and were politely greeted by the staff and had a group talk about our group names and activities.

These types of activities got our adrenaline running. We enjoyed many of the adventurous activities such as the leap of faith, where we climbed up a narrow pole and leaped off onto a metal ring and the giant swing where we were raised and swung over a cliff then returning to safety. We also went for a bush walk where we climbed down a mountain leading to the beach below.

When we returned to our cabin at the end of the day we were very excited to have time to ourselves and to get to know some other campmates that we may have not of known from our previous schools. On the second evening we were fortunate to have Fr Mac join us and lead us in the Eucharist.

Our overall experience at camp was very delightful and we were all excited to return to our families but at the same time wanting to stay longer. All the activities challenged us and made us step out of our comfort zone and made us wanting to do it again.

We want to thank all our teachers, especially Mr Andrejev & Ms Jennings who accompanied us to camp and also thank the staff and instructors from The Tops Conference Centre who made sure we were safe during our stay.
