Year 9 Odyssey

Aquinas College WA

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

In an increasingly complex, dispersed, and fast-paced world, this camp offers students an opportunity to seek formal affirmation of advancing maturity and initiation into adulthood. Through structured, goal-oriented activities taught and supervised by authority figures and role models, students will benefit from communal observance of achievement in a small group setting.

Location

Abseiling

Descending a rock face or a climbing tower, we love the views from the top and the courage we see as students aim for their personal best and encourage one another.

Bushwalking

Be it a day's hike or a short walk to camp, bushwalking engages all our senses allowing us to explore nature and our place within it. And we always find something exciting along the way!

Camping

Camping out in tents is our speciality! We love telling stories around the campfire, looking up at the night sky and creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Caving

Caving stirs adventure and excitement, allowing us to overcome new obstacles together through an inspiring new world and a fresh perspective.

High Ropes

Our high ropes course delivers an exciting challenge with students setting their own goals and developing confidence, determination and decision-making skills.

Low Ropes

Low ropes is the perfect warm-up for the day, with fun obsticals promoting communication, teamwork, decision-making and coordination.

Cooking

For many, this is the first time they will be cooking and preparing their own meals. Some discover a new passion while developing healthy habits and self-belief.

Personal Reflection Time

Reflection is often practised in a group through discussion, allowing students to develop a sense of self, empowering them to take on new challenges and learn from mistakes.
