Year 8 students embarked on a thrilling three-day adventure at Camp Rumbug, set amidst the breathtaking South Gippsland hills. Surrounded by 200 acres of lush rainforest with views of Wilsons Promontory, this idyllic location provided the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities, personal growth, and year-level bonding.
The camp offered a range of exciting challenges, beginning with the flying fox - a high-speed journey along a suspended cable that tested students’ courage and determination while pushing them beyond their perceived limits.
The legendary mud run lived up to its reputation, presenting students with a series of muddy obstacles that required teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance. The activity, while physically demanding, also fostered friendly competition and camaraderie.
Raft building was another highlight, where students worked together to design and construct a raft capable of floating and steering. This activity sharpened their teamwork, planning, and communication skills, with the added excitement of avoiding a potential plunge into the water!
Trust-building exercises further encouraged students to collaborate, develop resilience, and step outside their comfort zones, creating deeper connections with their peers.
Beyond the adventure and fun, the camp experiences nurtured independence, boosted confidence, and enhanced communication skills, leaving students with unforgettable memories of a truly rewarding journey.
