An iconic moment of our final year of high school began with a school camp at ‘The Summit’. The camp lived up to the hype, and exceeded all expectations, setting the tone for a year filled with unforgettable memories and endless adventure.
There were a plethora of great activities, from Abseiling to a Bush Walk, and it definitely kept us on our toes for the entire three days! People had to overcome their fears and step outside their comfort zones, and it was good to see everyone encouraging each other and bringing the vibes throughout the whole journey.
One activity that stood out to us was the ‘Leap of faith’. Harnessed up, we had to climb a set of ladders to a ledge and then leap to grip a metal bar. At the beginning it was quite intimidating but it was amazing to challenge ourselves and some of us were even given a second go at it, where we tried doing some cool tricks!
But the absolute pinnacle of this experience was the mud run. It was a set of obstacle courses, paired with a splash of mud, lakewater, but ultimately, teamwork. Initially, it looked impossible, with carrying tyres, swimming through rivers and dragging ourselves through sludge. And on top of that, doing the route twice over! It’s a core memory that will stay with us and help us develop resilience and perseverance.
Overall, our last ever high school camp was one to remember. It was so nice to spend time with our peers, having fun, getting dirty and doing things we definitely would not do otherwise. To SUMMIT up, each and every one of us had an absolute blast, and we would like to thank all the teachers, camp staff, parents and our peers, who made this camp possible!
