Year 7 Camp

Last Thursday and Friday, we had Year 7 Camp, which was both exciting and fun. One of the many highlights of the camp was the activities. The diverse amount of different things to do made the stay very enjoyable. A few of the many tasks we completed were rock climbing,  archery, abseiling, ‘survivor’ and ‘leap of faith’.

A favourite activity of mine was rock climbing. It was very empowering because there were three levels of difficulty on both the 5-metre and 10-metre walls, making it a challenge by choice activity. Another great aspect of rock climbing was that it involved teamwork. You were put in groups of four or five and one person would climb, while the others would belay you.

Overall, the camp activities were both exceedingly enjoyable and highly educational.  

A large aspect of Year 7 Camp is the cabins. The cabins are made up of one person from your Homeroom and other people in your House. The method of placing you with a variety of people helped many students make new friends.

Along with cabins, there were also day groups, which consisted of many different people in many different Houses. The day groups were a great way to get out of your comfort zone and make new friends. The cabins and day groups were a great feature of the camp, making the visit a memorable one.
