Margaret River Region

Year 9 Guildford Grammar

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This program continues the underlying philosophies of all our programs (challenge by choice, no put downs and personal responsibility). An understanding of group dynamics and personal responsibility continues through the adventure learning activities. The Year 9 will be divided into smaller groups for the duration of the camp. This encourages the development of relationships between peers and school staff as they navigate the challenges of this program together.

Location

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!

Rock Climbing

Rock climbing on a climbing wall or up a rockface invites students to set their own goals, step by step they develop confidence even if they don’t make it to the top in the beginning.

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.

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.

Surfing

First we try our skills on the sand, then we take our boards to the shallows and test our balance, determination and courage!

Cultural

Encourage an understanding and appreciation for history and diversity by connecting students to a different way of life through storytelling, bushcraft and more.
