Year 8 Murray River Raft Build

Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar School

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

3-Day Raft Buil journey along the Murray River, where students are encouraged to take on new challenges, find new interests and explore new interests in order to discover what drives them – “stretching your wings”.

Location

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!

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!

Raft Building

Working together, students design and build a raft out of available materials then test it out on the water, raft building is loved by students of all ages.

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.

Rafting

Rafting with us provides just the right combination of gentle calm and excitement. Float with us down untouched waterways, with surprise, challenge and fun at every turn.
