Year 9 Adventure Learning - Camp 2
Santa Maria College
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Year 9 Camp extends the students beyond their experience with us in Year 7. The activities are more challenging but are delivered in a supported and guided way by the OEG Group Leaders and the Santa Maria staff member with each smaller group. There is opportunity for leadership and independence with students being offered a great deal of autonomy. The whole experience is underpinned by the OEG model of “Explore, Reflect, Wonder”.
