Year 8 Camp

Image
I was just came back from a school camp. I really enjoyed the 3 days of supervision and activities with my group of students. The camp was arranged for Year 8 students. We went to the The Tops at Stanwell. It was a three day camp with 84 students and four staff members. Our school booked out the Waratah area with the boys and girls cabin separated by buildings. We completed a variety of activities. The students were divided into groups of roughly 20. Each group also had an instructor. On my first day I completed the 'Vertical Cluster' and 'Giant Swing' with my students. On the second day I tried 'Abseiling' for the first time in my life. I LOVED IT. I managed to climb down a cliff. I also did a bit of archery but ran out of time for the high ropes challenge. On the last day, my group played survivors! It required good team work skills. I also squeezed in some bush walking time with two other teachers.
